Gamers are now excited for GameStop’s classic retro consoles as the retailer turns select locations into time-hubs selling older models.
While the gaming industry increasingly shifts to digital platforms, GameStop is committed to preserving classic gaming experiences.
The video game retailer is transforming some of its stores into “GameStop Retro” locations, focusing on older consoles and games for nostalgic players.
In an announcement on X, the company highlighted several iconic consoles, such as the Wii and Xbox 360, which have been overshadowed by newer models like the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X.
These retro locations will also offer a selection of classic games from popular franchises, including Pokémon, Mario Kart, Halo, and Grand Theft Auto.
GameStop has not disclosed how many stores will be designated as retro locations or whether this initiative will be a permanent change or a temporary promotion.
GameStop has implemented a retro store locator on its website to help customers find these spots.
Users can click “Find A Retro Store” and enter their ZIP code to find nearby locations under their specified radius.
The new GameStop retro stores will sell a variety of consoles including:
- Nintendo DS
- Wii
- Wii U
- Super Nintento Entertainment System

- Nintendo 64
- Nintento Gamecube
