this why i stick to online auctions online :( although i miss the thrill of actually finding something in person. especially something i was looking for months.
Tip for those who are collecting loose game boy advance and DS games. Get a small resealable container With a colorful lid. It will protect them from dust and you'll be able to find them.
5:01 The Sega Retrobit controllers are officially licensed by Sega. I have a wireless Saturn one with four shoulder buttons and dual analogue stick which remind of the ones on the Switch, but it still has the 6 buttons on the face. It is by far the most versatile controller I own. But the classic style ones feel very authentic, when I compare it to my actual Saturn and Megadrive/Genesis controllers it feels just like them, and it came with wireless adapters for both the Saturn and for USB. The build quality is top-notch too. I also have a wireless SNES controller from them with dual analogue, and again it feels just like and original, a little heavier but not so much it causes fatigue. Retrobit controllers are worth checking out if you haven't already.
This is awesome! i love going to 2nd And Charles down here it's great for old stuff. Can't wait to buy my own retro console to play all those games they have.
Nice retro game stores there in US. I would definitely shop there if I was visiting there for a week or so! Had so much video games, Manga, & many other stuff too!
Manhattan has Video Games New York in Cooper Union which has wall to wall retro games, plus the Nintendo World Store. Also there’s J&L Games in Chinatown on Elizabeth Street and Canal along with Chinatown Fair Arcade a little further down from there.
that 2nd in charles is decent for browsing but ive never bought anything. Hooters is a big no for me. I need to go to SEGE since I live so close but i haven't been to it yet.
The one thing I would have purchased in that Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro seen at 07:30, such a great joystick. I still have it Big Brother, the Force Feedback Pro. The Force Feedback Pro was a fantastic joystick with great Force Feedback in games like Combat Flight Simulator and Freespace 2, the best space combat game there has ever been. Force Feedback joystick cannot be used anymore as it needs an old fashioned gameport and full midi support to function. The Precision Pro with USB adapter still works, even with Windows 11. They don't make Force Feedback joysticks anymore 😥
They are really cool stores. I found a Japanese copy of super smash bros melee for like 15 bucks a few months ago at one in Virginia. Really cool finds. Also got a good movie haul there.
That’s awesome you were literally at the store I go to haha. That’s awesome. Get you some chick fil A if you like chicken sandwiches. Chic fil A is only in US
Gemma, go to Hooters. I personally don’t care for their wings BUT I swear they have the best buffalo Chicken sandwiches ever at any restaurant! I get it mild, plain, and I add blue cheese. ( I’m from NY so obviously it’s Blue Cheese!) with a side of curly fries.
Sonic 3 genesis was a good deal. Pal version is butchered. Last time I went usa I didn't buy much, I bought a green n64, waverace 64 cart and a genesis 2 hdmi cable. Burnout 3 PS2 is one of few pal games which runs at 60hz in progressive mode and looks amazing. Not sure if you have one but I highly recommend you buy an American GameCube and get it modded. It will support component for the hdmi adaptor. I believe pal games work on it as long as you use hdmi or component. I bought 2 Japanese machines and modded them.
Too bad you didn't stay too long in the US here as you just missed the longest yard sale going thru 5 states with alot of those games you showed off as super cheap in some sales, like the sonic 3 and mortal kombat in box complete found them for $5 each along with a large lot of gamecube and PS2 games that didn't have many great titles. Anyways it was fun an the sales go until Sunday in most areas lol
I'm on the fence with the things on display and if there for sale. So things like statues, props, displays - yeah it's obvious they're not for sale but I think this modern wave of UA-cam and gamers having their displays set up is rubbing off on independent game shops who know people with cameras are coming in so they then display rare cool bits that they have no intention of selling - and yes that's completely bonkers. Imagine going into argos placing an order and them saying nah sorry that's for display out back for our pickers. Tell ya what ya can screen grab the page it's on the catalog. Its all about the visual clout these days and it's ridiculous. I'm only on the fence because I can justify why there doing it and the usual not for sale stuff but I still think it's a joke.
I am a simple man I like video games, but when I see a thumbnail like that it's an instant watch.
There’s actually 3 thumbnails running on this episode
R u sill in the USA?
@@omarvalderrama1314 no
🍈🍈
She knows what shes doing
see the thumb nail and its a instant watch
I'm here for the retro games and nostalgia ! Thank you for great content, America we present to you, our No 1 retro leading Lady!
Gebs knows what she’s doing with that thumbnail. I ain’t mad.
Videogame hunting usually brings me here, tbh your outfit brought me here😁
Everyone needs Hooters in their lives.
These stores had jack.
Did you see the “end result”. 1up video games was pretty amazing 🤩
this why i stick to online auctions online :( although i miss the thrill of actually finding something in person. especially something i was looking for months.
Gemma go to hooters, its a hoot!

Some interesting stores, cool to see the Atari carts.
Milon's Secret Castle is a banger but it's confusing where you're suppose to go. You have to shoot blocks to find secret paths.
@@kenshinesca I wished I’d picked it up 🆙
She knows what she's doing with that thumnail. Such a shame it's a strictly boneless fish diet
Absolutely fantastic video Gebs! I love your channel and commentary as you explore these retro palaces 😎🇬🇧👍
Awesome video hugs ❤❤❤❤
Jess was right. Eternal Champions is a great game.
@@markjackson419 That was my friend, Britt who suggested that game. She’s ace
"Pops do not interest me at all" - I feel you, I'm exactly the same and will never understand the hype around them
You mean you don't like wasting your money on little plastic figures that all look the same??😂😂😂
sticking price labels on top of the cartridge label should be a hangable offence!
Someone going through my history is gonna guess I only clicked because of the thumbnail. I swear I love her videos
Gemma go to hooters!

That made me laugh at the start with the guns Brilliant
Eternal champions is ace. Me and my youngest daughter would play it for ages.

Tanya Tate vibe?
I agree about Eternal Champions, great beat’em up. A complete copy is only £8 in CeX.

The straps and the yellow top say 5th Element taxi!
@15:41 is this your way of telling us that you’re going to be the next Bond? 😂
I hope you’ll find something really good keep the retro game hunting going.
So which store did you all prefer..?
1Up video games 🎮
2nd and Charles could do a little better on their pricing. Great variety tho!
It was pretty decent
They are really cool stores. I found a Japanese copy of super smash bros melee for like 15 bucks a few months ago at one in Virginia. Really cool finds. Also got a good movie haul there.
Sweet. Congratulations 🎈
That’s awesome you were literally at the store I go to haha. That’s awesome. Get you some chick fil A if you like chicken sandwiches. Chic fil A is only in US

I keep all my GB, GBA, and Game Gear games in a binder. I need them to be organized.

If you want Japanese titles. head to california and hit the shops in LA and San Francisco.

Gemma - go to Hooters
You didn’t buy anything is that because it’s too much trouble to get it Home.
Have you thought about shipping stuff Home? That’s what some people do.
@@Graham_UK Lol I purchased LOADS on this trip 🤣
Hooters the only reason I clicked on this video. You gotta go!
... we have not seen Sarah in a while :)
She’s busy with her dog and boyfriend
@@TheGebs24 .. thnx Gemma :)
