Ori's Game Corner — Local services in Boone

Amazing video game store that has a great collection of retro and modern titles. There's also really cool rare finds and niche titles in the front of the store and a nice rotating stock of consoles. They also carry a cool selection of VHS tapes and DVD/Blu-rays!

The atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxing, almost like going over to a friend's place to just hang out for a couple of hours. Honestly, if you did just go over to talk about video games you'll probably find no shortage of conversation unless they're slammed. Great support for the Digimon TCG (which I've played there every Saturday since her old location) and Pokemon TCG, with plenty of packs for both the US, KR and JP cards.

Best part is that if she's missing anything, Ori always recommends local places around the area (like the Dragon's Den which is about 2 minutes away from her store that also does Pokemon and MTG!) and has great knowledge of all the places to get what people are missing. It's rare to have someone willing surrender business just so people can get what they're looking for.

Overall, amazing place to go to for anyone coming in for a trip to get some games, movies, cards, or maybe something else you'll find that you didn't...

Great place all around! My boyfriend and I have been working on building our Pokémon collection and frequently visit Ori’s and they have been super helpful with finding games and authenticating games that we have bought at other places. We recently bought a copy of heart gold and brought it in to be authenticated and unfortunately it was a fake but they were kind enough to break the news to us but it was very much appreciated and they even took the time to explain to us how we could tell the differences in the real and fake Pokémon games. They also were able to replace the battery in my old ruby game so i am able to play the game with a time clock now! So like i said, Amazing store all around and super friendly and helpful staff! Highly recommend them to anyone who's in the...

Searched high and low for an original XBOX 360 external HDD the day before Thanksgiving as I was in town staying with my sister at her Airbnb that a previous renter stole the HDD along with some games. Our kids couldn’t play any games without it. Out of all the places I reached out to, Ori’s and some place in TN about an hour away had one. Ori’s was only about 10 minutes away. We were very fortunate to find one right before Thanksgiving and close to “home”. And being an old used HDD, it has worked great as the kids have used the XBOX for hours since getting it.

Great communication, excellent customer service, and just a great retro game store in beautiful Boone, NC. If I ever need anything retro gaming related again, I’m definitely checking with...
