Retro Game Bros — Local services in Toronto

In my area, the usual “classic game” stores either have: A) Have small to decent amount of games; but none you want

and/or

B) Prices are over the top high

So every time I visit a different area, I check out the game stores; and let me tell you, outta of all the stores I’ve been to, this is the one I can truly say is the best dang store you can visit. Not only is the selection vast, with plenty of titles for any genre on virtually every console, BUT THE PRICES ARE GREAT!

I would walk out of one of these stores either with nothing (most of time) with the occasional buy that is over priced. I walked into this store thinking the same. But hell was I wrong. I found all the titles I’ve been looking for with prices I couldn’t believe. And that’s not even the best part. The dudes that work there, in my case Evan and this other guy which I sadly forgot the name; both kind, funny and helpful dudes, who go above and beyond for customers. You don’t even have to buy anything to enjoy yourself! Looking around the store and talking to these guys is enough to make your day. Before I write a novel I’ll just summarize things:

Amazing store, amazing selection, amazing prices, and insanely amazing people. You will 110% get your money and times worth here. In fact, I think I stayed for more than 2 hours both shopping and talking; (glad they were so patient with me lol). I cannot stress how much I would recommend this place....

I was visiting Toronto on vacation when we discovered this gem of a shop! As someone that worked passionately for 8+ years in retro game stores, this is it. There was a lot to like about this place, and it’s easily my favorite in this area now.

-Prices in-line with price charting, very fair. -Very passionate and knowledgeable owners. -Additionally, very kind and welcoming. -They don’t buff games that don’t need it. -Additionally they do buff games at your request. -All games are tested via software for integrity. -Accommodating w/ condition & changing cases. -Very clean and organized. -All product kept in-store and not sold online. -Incredible stock. Staples and rare finds.

As someone that feels like they have most of the games they want there were definitely at least 3 games I didn’t have and had been looking for that just never appear in the Upstate NY area.

We also kept them a few minutes late (Sorry again, fellas. That’s our bad.) I do want to mention that they were very kind and patient with us through that as well, and were still super helpful even though we kept them a few minutes past. (And they didn’t have to be, I wouldn’t blame them If they weren’t.)

I’ll definitely be telling all the homies about y’all, and be sure to visit every time I’m up here. Thanks...

Simply awesome :)

I dropped by this store a couple days ago to pick up some used games. It was my first time visiting, but it certainly won't be my last.

First impression: Walking into this store, I felt like a kid in a candy shop! Their displays are vibrant, clever, and colourful. And the attention to detail is top notch. I later checked out their social media, and the same level of quality is there when it comes to presentation and display.

Looking deeper: I soon realized that their collection is phenomenal! You can tell that these brothers truly love video games, through and through. Everything is well-organized and clearly labelled. On top of that, the prices are reasonable and the games are in excellent condition (unless otherwise noted).

Conversation and expertise: I spoke with Evan for a bit and he's a really friendly and down-to-earth guy. Not only that, but this guy knows his games! He gave a few suggestions for the games that I picked up, as well as a few suggestions for some other games that I'm starting to get into. He was also kind enough to set aside some titles for me when I called earlier in the day (before making the long trip out to Scarborough).

I highly recommend this store. These guys are awesome!

Looking forward to swinging...
