LeatherRebel5150 847 Member · Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Just saw this for the first time today https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/retro-gaming/nintendo It looks like Gamestop is selling "NEW" NES games. I haven't looked in their retro section for a while so this might have been known but it's not something Ive seen. I have not heard of any of these I don't think either. I wonder where they are getting them from and the quality of construction. Edit: Looks like some SNES and Genesis games too Edited January 13, 2021 by LeatherRebel5150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice 2,820 Member · Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Never seen this before and I look at GameStop plenty! You know what's interesting? That "Mega Cat Studios" also did Coffee Crisis and Bite the Bullet which are on Switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croagunk 798 Member · Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Interesting! I don’t see this stuff on EB Games...maybe soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller 396 Member · Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Congrats to Mega Cat! Those are all their titles I see at a quick glance. I pitched Game Stop on being a part of Convention Quest and they asked how much the whole thing would cost at one point, insinuating they wanted to be the sole sponsor and selling it in stores was talked about for a minute. Those were exciting times! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s 3,053 Member · Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I saw them a couple months ago, right about the same time the retro section inventory started to dwindle to nothing. Maybe sometime during the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Lurv 211 Member · Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 IIRC, Gamestop started selling homebrew and multi-cart games about a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange 1,618 Member · Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 So for the Genesis homebrew, they’re listed at the CIB price but the pictures only show the cart. That concerns me a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller 396 Member · Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Jumped in to the Mega Cat discord and they confirmed they are CIB. Game Stop site is using weird asset management, so I'm told by someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a GameStop gift card for Christmas so I might grab a homebrew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer 1,731 Member · Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Here they are straight from the source https://megacatstudios.com/collections/8-bit?page=2 Very cool they were able to pull this off! No wonder GameStop stock jumped today Edited January 14, 2021 by RegularGuyGamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherDestroysTheGond 589 Member · Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) These were on sale for $10 off each on Black Friday / Cyber Monday. Thought about grabbing some but ended up splurging on a desk chair for my home office instead! No regrets but once I found them I keep thinking a out getting them. I di have tons of $$ in Gamestop rewards points.... Edited January 18, 2021 by LutherDestroysTheGond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
