Years ago GameStop devote up on classic gaming . They liquidated their catalogue of NES , Super Nintendo , N64 , PlayStation and Dreamcast games and I was left scouring flea markets for my retro gaming fix . Now the chain says they ’re contribute onetime biz back , but they ’re being kind of weird about it .

According to a reputation from IGN , the new program is to test classic game and cabinet trade - ins in select markets ( NYC and Birmingham to be specific ) , but only offer them for sales agreement on the company ’s website . Apparently some items will be available at local stores too , but wo n’t be on the shelf — buyer will have to order them with the “ pick up at memory ” choice on the GameStop website . Yes , that ’s entirely bizarre sounding — we’ve strive out to GameStop for clarification .
Retro business deal - ins for NES , Super NES , Sega Genesis , Playstation , N64 , andDreamcastproducts ( for the test markets , at least ) start on April 25th . game wo n’t be available for purchase until those craft - In make it through GameStop ’s refurbishment centre , but the program could be a godsend for classical gamers who do n’t have a effective independent biz shop in their area .

Either way , it ’ll probably be easier than haggle for a decent Mary Leontyne Price at the flea market . [ IGN ]
