GameStop Revives Physical Sales for Classic NES, SNES, and SEGA Genesis Games

In a move to reinvigorate the retro gaming market, GameStop stores are set to bring back physical sales for a selection of iconic games from the NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and SEGA Genesis consoles. This new development is part of the GameStop Retro initiative, launched in August, which aims to tap into the nostalgia of retro gaming and entice consumers back into their stores.

Partnership with Limited Run Games

To make this happen, GameStop has partnered with Limited Run Games, a renowned publisher of physical video games and special editions. This collaboration combines GameStop's push into the retro market with Limited Run's expertise in releasing high-quality, classic games. As a result, fans will be able to grow their Limited Run collections at GameStop stores for the first time.

Featured Retro Games

The list of featured games includes:

  • A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia (NES)
  • Amazon's Training Road (NES)
  • Doodle World: Redrawn (NES)
  • Jurassic Park (GB)
  • Jurassic Park (SNES)
  • Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues (GB)
  • Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues (SNES)

Limited Supplies and No Restock

Supplies for each game will be limited, and once they're gone, they won't be restocked – at least not during this holiday season. This makes it essential for retro gaming enthusiasts to act quickly and grab their favorite games before they sell out.

GameStop's Commitment to Physical Game Ownership

By partnering with Limited Run Games, GameStop is reiterating its commitment to physical game ownership in an increasingly digital media landscape. This partnership promotes the shared values of both companies and provides fans with the opportunity to experience classic games in a tangible way.
