After ridding their shelves of NES, Super Nintendo, N64, PlayStation and Dreamcast games, GameStop is going back to their roots and reviving your retro game fix. Kind of.
According to Gizmodo,
“The new plan is to test classic game and console trade-ins in select markets (NYC and Birmingham to be specific), but only offer them for sale on the company’s website. Apparently some items will be available at local stores too, but won’t be on the shelf—buyers will have to order them with the “pick up at store” option on the GameStop website.
Retro trade-ins for NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, Playstation, N64, and Dreamcast products (for the test markets, at least) start on April 25th. Games won’t be available for purchase until those trade-ins make it through GameStop’s refurbishment center, but the program could be a godsend for classic gamers who don’t have a good independent game shop in their area.”
It may sound kind of bizarre, but we’re hoping the end result is magical.
