RUN NOW Retro Games are Back at GAMESTOP!!!

[@abeezysportsxentertainment]

Game Stop should of never stop selling retro games.

[@williamlowe8734]

If they're going to stay in business they're going to have to continue with the retro considering that 'garbage azz' digital is taking over the console space these days.

[@gdilla4452]

Nope they shouldn’t have,and it would work on both sides,cause they would get more business and it would keep the prices down

[@Rik-fl7wy]

Great video it shows gamestop needs to sell retro games if they want to stay around in the long term but if they offer nothing for good games as in the past whats the point compared to selling online

[@DierenBrigade]

Goodluck @ buying from gamestop 6 times the price 😂✋

[@kcidd12]

@@williamlowe8734exactly they just don’t want to put in the work for retraining their employees on how to stock and clean retro games

[@RobsRetroGaming]

Good to see Gamestop keeping Retro alive!!!

[@iSaidStanback]

It’s too late now so many other retro shops are popping up now

[@ComicCon20Playz]

Let's be honest retro games are the ones keeping GameStop alive.

[@RobsRetroGaming]

Well said, and I agree!@@ComicCon20Playz

[@Dazedgames4201]

As an employee im happy they did this. As a collector ime especially happy. Unfortunately we offered this gentleman $7 cash for his copy of resident evil 2 on ps1. Luckily i cqught him in the parking lot and offered him $20 out of my pocket since we cant do that in store.

[@MonteyG73]

You’re the best person of all time, God bless you

[@bobstoner415]

I appreciate you, i do understand why Gamestop does this for business but it is too low..... great job for both you and the customer. Keep retro alive

[@xxxprincethe2nd793]

Thank you for youre service

[@MiamiSunrise]

Every video you do makes me want to go game hunting. This is just awesome Mr. Wright Way!

[@Real_Sgt_Tom]

As someone who loves the Xbox 360 I hope my local stores will start getting some of this stuff in soon.

[@SilenceWillNotBeTolerated]

Funny he brings this up. Was in a Gamestop yesterday. Not much in the way of retro but he had us come behind the counter and pick through 2 drawers of 360 games , xbox , ds , 3ds , wii. Walked out with a few games. Got smackdown vs. raw feat. Ecw for the 360 for $1.90 regulary $15.99

[@patrickmurphy9470]

With gaming going to all digital GameStop going straight retro is a good idea. I would actually start to shop there again.

[@b4rs629]

Same, but only if the price is decent. They be charging like $60 for omega ruby...

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

Saw the prices on some of the games posted in the video, it's way too expensive. I get most of my games from Ebay. They are cheaper and in much better conditions.

[@pauljacob99]

I’ve only been to one independent shop that had decent prices. Gamestop does much better on pricing so I’m hopeful they continue in this direction. It would be great for collectors to have another alternative.

[@k-boi420]

I figured this out when I was randomly browsing the website. One thing that’s annoying is that the popular retro games are always expensive and probably as much as a major third party game.

[@captjohnson5452]

Man in 2000 2003 when games top was selling nes games for pennies on the dollar I shiuld have stocked up.

[@chimrichalds81]

I got a rare $80 used Spiderman game for ps3 for $25 at GameStop recently. It's only Wii and ps3 retro at my Nevada GameStop but I like seeing it. Some games are 25¢

[@Hsw_wrestling]

So I went in too GameStop because I had to stop in a store that was in the same shopping mall to pick something else up and I saw the sign saying there are taking in retro games again and I got so happy! I had pro member points and my $5 dollar monthly coupon. I bought Animal crossing wild wood and Pokémon mystery dungeon blue team rescue on the ds. With my discounts I ended up paying $47 even! I’m so glad retro is back at GameStop!

[@FranchisePlayyer]

Every Gamestop in my area has had retro for awhile now. I'm in NorCal so not sure about other areas

[@topchief1]

the stores usually keep previous gen in their drawers, because they need more space for funco pops and various other toys, but they recently just did a big price increase on their older stock, which is probably why they are advertising it more, for that sweet sweet profit.

[@MrWrightWay]

That’s just and opinion my friend

[@TechRight]

that's dope, love to see it!

[@MrWrightWay]

Thank ya

[@pickyourbattlescollecting]

I started picking a few up a few weeks ago when the local store's associates told me about it. The selection definitely varies.

[@rarespawncollective]

I went into my local Gamestop yesterday after seeing this video and snagged a Paper Mario for N64 for $65 and Wii Sports Club for 55! They had an entire stack of 64 games in the back... it was honestly kinda mind blowing to see. I have a feeling that this will be short lived and that they're just doing it as a last ditch effort to keep their business alive... but I guess we'll see where it goes this time? Thanks for the video! I'm surprised no one else is talking about this tbh

[@uncledregaming7746]

I always liked GameStop. 4 years ago that is how I built my PS3 and Xbox 360 collections. Especially with the 4 for $20 deals

[@ask_why000]

Retro! I ❤ Retro!

[@seoulgt86]

Guys support mom and pop shops for the retro stuff.

[@Dogmaguy74]

Gamestop…I would never have visited or even known of it had i not had a friend in highschool who worked at one. I don’t know how to describe the first time i entered one of their stores…I was in video game heaven.

[@stantonrogers]

I Love GameStop when I was a little boy back in the day.

[@tailsthegreenninja2003]

I actually recently went to my local Gamestop and someone trades in a complete copy Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube. Of course I had to buy it! Also, I mentioned it in another video but Sonic Generations is one of my favorite Sonic games in my opinion. Love the music as well, still listen to a lot of the remixes today.

[@R323838]

They recently brought back games they penny out from the wii,360 and ps3. So that's a good thing. Hopefully they restock these games at more stores.

[@aegisreflector1239]

People still wanna play,buy, sale and trade in old games. Them denying retro games is so short sighted from a business standpoint

[@dennyj8650]

Now to get some NES games I don't have yet! Even kept my CRT TV to play them on! (And it has a built in VHS player/recorder!)

[@georgemount8320]

I'm glad to see gamestop doing this. Def gotta check my local ones to see what they have.

[@RokushoHasashi]

I'm glad Gamestop has decided to start selling and buying retro games again. It was like this when I was a kid and I'm happy this is happening again!!

[@ranger64gmfr]

As long as the prices are reasonable with the market, I’m all for this. They should consider selling retro consoles as well.

[@Rik-fl7wy]

Gamestop eb games etc r not know for good reconditioned video game consoles but if they did it properly I would definitely go back to GS/EB games

[@thekingskid]

This might motivate me to actually head out to Gamestop. Last time I was in Gamestop, Final Fantasy XIII-3 was released.

[@mr.fizzac3957]

Lot people don’t like GameStop but I don’t mind going there. People at my local stores are pretty cool to talk to. I Found some good 3DS deals about month ago too.

[@jamess.9743]

those 3ds games were all hits

[@njones621]

I’m excited the older games are coming back at GameStop! I grabbed a copy of Mario Kart 8 on Wii U and got it for $10 with their 4 for $40 deal a week or so ago!

[@mrmarvelus1]

I got Smash Bros Melee on GameCube at my local gamestop store for 35 bucks a couple weeks ago.

[@mystacles]

Really cool seeing such love for retro from gamestop

[@WillM.]

I was in a GameStop to preorder a physical copy of starfield and I saw Wii games in there as I was walking out but I didn’t look at them

[@JoeFpoc]

Yeah i love gamestop. Mostly just cause it sucks to have to go to walmart and find a spot then walk all the way to the back. GameStop you just walk in and bam video games. Love mario golf on 3ds too, spent lots of hours in that game

[@2bornot2b255]

This will hopefulle keep gamestop alive with selling old consoles in the age of dying games

[@thenerdsanctum]

id love to see them bring back retro stuff because they have so much just sitting in the warehouses it would be an easy transition. Plus a lot of gamers still have their old systems and kids can get games so much cheaper that dont have all the nonsense we deal with now in modern gaming.

[@GHETTOCOWB0Y]

Finally adding some color to the youtube game collector community ✊🏽✊🏿

[@MrWrightWay]

Glad to. Check out the podcast to see others

[@lyricflowergaming432]

When I watched the video, I went straight to gamestop and found mario 64 for the ds complete and mario and luigi patterns in time, complete

[@KevinPlaysGuitar]

That's cool that they're bringing in the retro games. Those retro games are going to keep them from sales going down. I've been seeing some 7th gen games online but you don't know if you're getting CIB.

[@douglasbriel6103]

Glad. I cried when they got rid of PS2 bins.

[@OfficialRaveBlitz]

I don't know how this is possible because I went to the Redlands GameStop the other day, they said they don't have PS3 games, or don't accept older stuff. It's bizarre.

[@ralphramsey82]

Awesome, I haven't been in a gamestop in a while. I'll check it out.

[@mikegreco7337]

I went to GameStop in royersford PA and found 3 loose ocarina of time for the 3ds and mostly every loose Mario 3ds game. I found super paper Mario had to pick it up for $22. Pokemon revolution for the Wii disc only too

[@goodall1bay]

Gamestop should just emulate what CEX is doing here in UK otherwise it will die as a business.

[@khmerg]

Love the tee! From a MMPR fan!

[@segagirladventurespico]

Gamestop in USA they have to wear a gamestop tshirt not here in Canada they have no uniform. Great video. Our gamestops they dont do trades they buy games buy they dont pat much any gamestores or trade here in Canada. Very cool u can trade in!!

[@jeremygalloway1348]

2:43...you put a smile on my face Wright way. Thanks man I needed that. Bum rushin camera all into like a kid again

[@MrWrightWay]

Lol your welcome

[@findmethe90s]

This is slick... makes me happy. physical games will bring in customers who will likely buy some random stuff as well, socks, shirts key chains etc that they probably have a tremendous make up on... I know retail floor space in most game stops is limited, well at least I can speak for the ones by me. But still a good idea. On another note I seen you at Corgs in Columbus Ohio last month, I wanted to say whats up, got side tracked, then side tracked again and so on. LOL.. Hope my city treated ya well !!! By any chance did you make it to any of the barcades? Old North Arcade may be my fav, games are FREE ALSO !!! Happy Collecting !!!

[@dallondraper8028]

Last 2 weeks have been the 4 for $20 and 4 for $40 @ gamestop. I took advantage.

[@MrWrightWay]

Me too

[@keatonmay9685]

I picked up contra for the nes there the other day. I also picked up zil o zil, bleach resurrection, and ridgeracer 7 on the ps3

[@Wsfletcher]

In Philly, brother, I am the person getting all the PS3 games 😆

[@newnoldgames]

I’ve found a few really good deals at GameStop. Spider man web of shadows ps3 for $35.. not that old but found ps4 Godzilla for $70 a few months ago

[@MrQuaazga]

I guess I'll be heading to my local Gamestops ASAP!!

[@LevelupKen]

Game room looks amazing

[@numberoneappgames]

Thanks for the heads up, I just checked their website. They restocked on N64 games. :D

[@michaelwood9866]

My local gs has wii Wii U ps3 and Xbox 360….ds 3ds SNES and sometimes gbc

[@buckeyechad1]

GS isn't so bad. Last July I found Pokemon White Ver 2 and also Black Ver 2 for 70 apiece when they were worth 100 apiece only because I asked to look in the drawer behind the counter. And because it was member weekend got 20% of might've paid 60 apiece w/tax, if that.

[@bozzy7946]

I wonder if these were sitting in a warehouse while trying to do different things. I did see an original Xbox game at one of my GameStop's but I can't remember what it was, I think an old medal of honor

[@TravisGarnett]

Game-🛑-ping the #WrightWay: 🗣I'm "#SO_EXCITED‼ #SO_EXCITED‼"

[@viperneongaming4314]

At this point, GameStop should just stick to being a retro and gaming merch store. Maybe they'll last longer.

[@Ecwfan]

My GameStop has been doing this a long while. They carried 3DS games and PS3 ones. My friend who is there made a point to get PS3 games in and knows I collect. He's happy they can get Vita , PS2 and more in now. As he feels the retro market is worth it. Hopefully it keeps running. I have almost all the PS3 games you showed lol.

[@TheEagleEyeCollector]

I found and bought Resident Evil Survivor PS1 at my local Gamestop. Paid $34.99 for it.

[@Videogamelover58]

AWESOME!

[@nathan84boy]

Yeah I noticed that I thought I was tripping

[@isseirian1915]

I went yesterday and got the ultimate alliance 2 for the ps3

[@JJUniverseChannel]

Awesome video man 😎!

[@biorum]

GameStop knows the digital future is coming, the only way to survive is to start selling retro games. It is some sort of a smart move. Actually some retro games at GameStop are a bit cheaper than a mom and pop shop.

[@b4rs629]

Ya, cuz why pay full digital price on game stop site when the console store is cheaper. + Most of their used games for the switch be like $45 for pre-owned new price . Then wonder why they are going broke.

[@newnoldgames]

Local retro stores near me usually sell games for 25-50% more than ebay prices 😮

[@Mutato-]

I went to one a few days ago and they had a bunch of Wii & 3DS. I asked if they were going to have retro games again. He said no they were old stock from the back room.

[@MrWrightWay]

Don’t trust that

[@roguedr0id]

It hasn't really caught on in my area yet (so cal - inland empire to be exact) but wow...this is really going to be nuts if you belong to their Power Up rewards program ($15 a year going up to $25 a year), you get a $5 coupon every month and you earn $$ rewards for purchases (not sure if retro games apply, but it does on newer games and swag), its retro hunting for CHEAP. We love Gamestop. No hate here.

[@NES_Wizard]

Hell yeah man. I got Golden sun on the ds complete a week or so ago at gamestop.

[@thequeeng2282]

Oh damn! Let me make my way down to Game Stop!! You coulda grabbed me that shirt tho. It woulda fit me 😎😉

[@jayslay1000]

Got 50 cent blood in the sand on 360 and it works on Xbox series X

[@dabombbolain]

Love that shirt😊

[@GuffawOSU]

sadly Gamestop closed in Switzerland

[@Thomas-te2lg]

I saw a GameStop that had N64 games, 2 months ago.

[@travissutton887]

i would have payed ALOT more for those games than gamestop would

[@retrodungeonYT]

Wait - how does gamestop test the games to make sure they work? Couldn't people just trade in junk to Gamestop?

[@retro-stars2630]

PEOPLE BE AWARE EVEN THO GAMESTOP IS BRINGING IT BACK THEY ARE CHARGING YOU UP TO THE POINT U CAN GET THEM ON EBAY FOR THR SAME PRICE BUT IN THERE GAMESTOP STORE I NOTICED THAT

[@NK-Matt120]

Yo I was skeptical at first but I actually called them and they actually had ps3 games! Got re5, persona 5, and devil may cry 4 all for 27!!! Thanks for letting us know man lol

[@MrWrightWay]

Nice

[@donaldsmith5667]

Are they selling 8 and 16 bit era? If so, i’m about it.

[@Acornup]

Ok now I wanna go.

[@MrWrightWay]

What’s up my dude

[@dreamares2911]

Actually GameStop has been selling Retro games since they took them off the shelves. The only thing now is that they are upping the prices.

[@MrWrightWay]

Not true.

[@markanthony8714]

I found Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn for the Wii at my Gamestop CIB for $70

i have been dreaming of gamesotp having wii u games again cant believe its finally a thing gonna have to call up the ones in my area fill out the wii u set some more

[@MrWrightWay]

Let me know what you get

[@patrickmurphy9470]

Max Payne 3 is a Gem!

[@cubansupreme]

What you're saying is mostly true (depending on the store) but as far as PS1, PS2, and Gamecube games are concerned though, I have yet to see at least one Gamestop store actually have those particular retro games sadly so I kind of find that hard to believe, sorry to say Mr. Wright Way.

[@MrWrightWay]

Just take a look at my older GameStop video and you’ll become a believer

[@michaelwood9866]

Honestly that’s where I picked up borderlands the pre sequel for $6

[@far2d28]

That shirt is rad power rangers meets megadeth no way !!

Good stuff man looking for the next one game on 😊😊😊😊

[@MrWrightWay]

More to come!

[@cjfox7674]

CEX, a chain we have here in Europe, deals a lot in retro they price just below eBay prices, so I guess gamestop might start to copy that business model

[@OfficialRaveBlitz]

NO WAY!!!

[@albertpiskula6222]

We need funcoland back! Lol i know it will never happen. At least gamestop is taking a step in the right direction.

[@daysaverproductions]

Just subscribed I thought I already had 😂 big ups man keep going gotta get them gems for cheap! This is good for the uk too as GAME may be following the same instructions and losing their stores up with retro too I’m gonna have a look this eve 😊✌️👊👊

[@MrWrightWay]

Thank you my dude

[@jamess.9743]

this is probably a slow rollout. the ones by me def don't have any retro games in stock
