What are your favorite video game stores?
In NYC there are still some pretty cool independently owned ones. I'd love to go to a place like this though.
That looks like a Japanese store.

Must be nice having an option other than Gamestop and Walmart to buy games in person.

That's Videogames New York. Specifically the back of the store where they keep all their expensive shit.
It's a cool store but everything over extremely overpriced. I understand why (rent in Manhattan is insane), but I never really buy anything in there.

The store game me a neo-tokyo vibe for some reason so I just assumed.
>Used to have a place here in Fort Wayne called Disc Replay
>They sold every single game you could imagine
>You could literally find anything you wanted there
>They got bigger and started selling movies
>They then moved across town to a bigger store and became MEGA Replay
>Now they sell TVs, guitars, and used college books
>Their game section, once large and proud, is now an endless wasteland of Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed for 360 and PS3
>Their Nintendo section is so small it fits on one shelf
>They sold all of the Dreamcast games and have nothing left
>They're down to the last of the Gamecube, Xbox, and PS2 games
>Their "retro" section is full of overprice bullshit like $50 for shitty games because "As seen on AVGN!"
>Every time I go back, the movies encroach more of the store and the game section becomes smaller
I miss that place when it was smaller
I live in Emporia, Kansas. There's no mom and pop game stores for hundreds of miles. Closest is probably Game Nut in Lawrence.
We had one, but it got raided by the police and closed because the guy found a way to not pay his taxesHe got all his stuff back and isn't reopening..

jnl is better if only because the employees aren't cunts like at videogamesnewyork, probably why someone stole there Mario statue
I live about 5 minutes from Estarland. The place is pretty cool but it's filled with the worst type of neck beard virgins and the service is god awful. But if you don't mind waiting 30 mins to check out it's pretty cool to look at all the old games.

This. J&L is a cooler place due to the employees being cool and if youre a regular they have the hook ups.
