Thank you for swinging by and hope you manage to swing by again soon! We changed up even more since last you were there too! Also the differently priced games are crate games so those are just our extras we haven’t put on the shelf til needed. Tight spot so they just gotta chill there haha. Gotta get a cover for them one day haha. Thank you again!!
Me and my gf are coming to NYC for the weekend today and we definitely want to check this place out!
yo los conoci en brcdevg
do you have tenkaichi 3?
Do you guys do shipping for orders?
do u have ps3 consoles for sale?
Love how you casually just filmed Leo P and David Park of Too Many Zoos just jamming out, lucky scrooge you!
Also very funny that Leo P sued Epic Games for like likeness rights in Fortnite, haha.
I thought that was him! He was fairly calm but the leg pumping gave him away.
Yeah wow, I was like. WAIIT, that is Too Many Zoos! :D

Living in NY and having experienced nyc my entire life, seeing Caleb’s shock at the shenanigans that we view as so normal is great 😂
NYC Thief:
"GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY!"
Caleb:
"Can we settle on 20%?"
😂
lol
You should do a journey through the 50 states at local video game stores…now that would be pretty cool!
Salem, MA has a very cool game shop.
@@johnnunez5715 No they suck, lol
I love that 2 of the members of Too Many Zooz are just jamming on the side of the street. Leo P is a crazy sax player.
I went to that first store last year and you're right, lots of stuff, a bit high price but the staff is super friendly! I came out with a sealed copy of Persona 4 on PS2.
Sickkk I'm jealous loll
Lol that was the same game I got when I went there
@@functional200 still got it sealed :)
This is so cool to see. It is always nice to see local shops being supported.
Oh look, new york has a clear sky!
A wild zooz sighting! Very cool glad you included some of their playing.
Yep.
Now I get why no one is buying games in video games store. The price is doubled than their original price 🙄
Its like a video game library so organized ❤
Thank u for showing us around 😊
Wow this is so nostalgic. I used to live in NY two years ago and I frequented all of these stores often. I’m still good friends with Louis (he owns brooklyn game shack) and it was very nice to see how everyone’s upgrading and doing well 💜
where did u move to
Lived in NY for sometime and all the good video stores have basically died out, years ago an area called Flushing was personally my spot to hit up for import games at amazing prices but when a couple Gamestops opened up they killed all the video game business. From what I heard now all the Gamestops shutdown all that is left is Best Buy & Target but there selection is trash. Game hunting in NYC is not worth it, every now & then you might score a deal but it gets hard & harder as time goes by also there is a saying if you shop in Manhattan you going to pay "Manhattan Tax". Best to drive out to either deep Long Island or into NJ.
you don’t gotta go that deep into LI, Nassau has some spots. That being said, the internet existing makes getting deals anywhere with a higher cost of living much more difficult. They almost always just go by last listed sold etc. Long Island is a place where you can find some old heads running spots who aren’t as big on that, but in general that’s just how the market has shifted anywhere there is a large populace. More people = more of a chance for people to be informed of valuation and for them to inform others
@@Fatblue246 Phoenix knows he can get any of these games through his online connections but it means so much more to go out and find them. That is true game hunting, cause if you can just get it by clicking a button then what's the point, you might as well just emulate them and save yourself the trip.
In the 90's that area where VideoGamesNY is located had a ton of Video Rental/Video Game shops. It was near the start of the PS1 where I would go weekly to see what new imports that had.
NYC native and I’m happy to finally see someone checking out the game stores here. I’ve never been to those stores in Brooklyn but now that I see the prices aren’t too bad I’m definitely excited to go check them out.
Brooklyn Video Games and Brooklyn Game Shack are my favorites to go to. Owners are super nice! Glad to see them on your channel!
Man, a video on Thursday! Wow, thank you! I was waiting for Sunday.
Yay!!! Love watching all these videos!
Shoutout for showing the Trails love ❤️
Riffs moms joke and the come back, hilarious!😂
Oh dang that's two of the guys from Too Many Zooz at 5:04!
This is pretty cool! I wish I could go to these stores the next time I visit NYC (which I am an hour away from the place). The only video game store that I have visited recently in the city was ThinkGeek/Gamestop.
Surprise video drop?! Let’s goooo!
Gotta say it’s a nice touch that the last store has end labels for 64 games
5:04 oh snap caleb came up on Too Many Zoos irl and even threw them in the video lol
The second and third locations look pretty promising.
Iirc I didn’t buy anything from the first location because the prices were a tad bit high. The selection itself was really good though
Yeah that is probably due to the difference in rent. Any retail location in Manhattan is 10x greater than the outer boroughs.
I love videogamesny! they really maximize their space and they're pretty chill people. great shop all around.
I was just in NYC! VGNY was my favorite shop we checked out. Picked up Yuppie Psycho on Switch, which is a game that they actually published themselves!
I feel you on the whole city thing. I'm just an English "town boy". I know it would be terrible for your business due to PAL being generally way cheaper. But I'd love to see you and Riff hit the UK as that first place really reminded me of Sore Thumb in York.
Brooklyn Video Games is awesome! Been there a few times!
Nice guys, I like their arcade spot in sunset as well although some of the dudes there swear they’re fighting game gods so I don’t really go there anymore because of the atmosphere
Finally caleb video on a weekday!!!!
Ayy glad to see you stop by my area! You hit up all the go to spots!
You should have checked out Book off it’s a 10 minute walk from Video Games New York!
Loved this style of video
Cool, I’m from New York City, welcome to New York, check out the other boroughs like Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and also Staten Island
It's funny you mention vertical space. When I was a wee lad, I used to go to the local toy store in nyc (late 80s into early 90s) and I remember that they would hang their toys probably 30 feet in the air which made window shopping very challenging. They were smart enough to put the superhero and tmnt toys nearer to the ground however.
Oh man, you actually are in NY!!! Hahaha here I am been contemplating selling my collection but thought you were out of the east coast already x.x
Brooklyn Gameshacks is my homie Luis’s store been there many a time. Good prices and good vibes in that place!!!! Glad you made it there @phoenixresale
That’s amazing video on video games store in New York City.
Dope. Showed me a spot I never seen and I live here 😮
You should check out PAX West in Seattle in September. Also, i believe the seattle area is known to have more video game stores per square mile than anywhere in the US. Correct me if im wrong
Glad i subbed to pesale channel also, can't wait for a whole week for a video in main channel.
edit: i thought it as pesale post,😅 i wasn't expecting another video within a week.
I needed this video
Kinda wish you had went to Brooklyn video games & arcade. It’s their second store with bigger space and an a decent sized arcade in basement with various games. They also host tournaments!
was at the first store last year. They had replacement Virtual Boy Stands at a great price. I had to grab one
That’s dope you were in NY. Would have loved to have stumbled into you
You went to all my favorite places!
Phoenix if you're ever in Grand Rapids, Michigan take a stop into Beltline Play N Trade. They have one of the craziest selections I've ever seen with a huge switch selection and plenty of rare high dollar games!
Brooklyn Video Games is right down the block from me, happy to see them getting some love!
That is my neighborhood in Brooklyn, my cousin started that 3rd video game in Bayridge. He sold it a few years ago when he moved away. They always had the best prices.
Thank you for visiting. 🙌🙌
Gotta love Marx's sticker "I told you so" 1 second into the video
Id be in heaven with going through all that switch stuff
I’m the same about big cities, loved visiting Chicago & Edinburgh but I can’t imagine living in a big city.
Gotta say that was a pretty good your mom joke 😅
You just spent 11 minutes Squawking whilst clutching at you tinkle..... Wow you do like games stores.... Lol. 😃😁😁😁🇬🇧🦁🤟
My sister lives in NY. Going to have to check the first one out. Had no idea it was there (near there plenty of times).
RIFFS editing is the best😂
Thank you for a video before work it's probably the last one before I leave
At least Riff’s mom loves him 😂😂😂 that hit he hard
Oh snap Caleb in my city💯💪🏾 little advice if someone ask for the time just run 😅 they’re not interested in the time
the sticker at the beginning lol
First one got a insane collection. Probably the biggest i have seen
So cool that Leo P was playing sax there
My brother met you at the gaming convention in Winder today! Sold his Shadow of Almia game. He says hi 😁
Man you just happen to catch Leo P in his natural environment. Awesome
Welcome to NY! Video Games NY is my favorite store in NYC you know they make there own games? You missed Book Off,J&L and the Nintendo store.
As if you just randomly saw Too Many Zoos on the street haha
I’m In NY Long Island The Five Boroughs And Westchester Yes NY Has Many Great Stores I’ve Been To Most But The Prices Are Much Higher Than Any Other State But That’s With Everything In Life In NY I’ve Been Blessed To See All Of Gaming From 1980-Now What A Life
I don’t know why, but the first store reminds me of a dream I had Once, it was also a video game store, which was packed with a lot of games and was also really tall, really reminded me of it…
Phoenix hits the big Apple!!
Beautiful just beautiful.❤
I love NYC and that looked like it fun. A good vid.
Maybe you just ran out of time but I’m surprised J & L game wasn’t on your list. Impressive selection and big storefront including imports. Worth a visit if you go back!
Leo P! One of my favorite bari sax players!
Video Games New York has been at the current location for over 17 years, but previously they were two blocks north on St. Mark's Place. Don't know when they started but I bought Panzer Dragoon Saga there in 1998.
I went to that first store before. Decent prices and cool owner.
I got to check out those video game stores in my home state, New York
The “Too Many Zooz” cameo in the video was cool.
Nice video. And you made it out of New York City without a scratch!
you need to check out the store chain called " the exchange " there's one in monroeville right outside of Pittsburgh PA, insane amount of games
Gotta get to this store one day!
Dunk Dream for NEO-GEO is one of the best arcade basketball games ever. Would love to get that one someday.
Afro Samurai is a great game.
Entertained. Liked and subscribed good sir
My childhood DS was that guitar hero one they had towards the start
Funny. Going to riffs mom house 😂
You're constant free advertising for Chipotle worked. I'm eating it as I'm watching this video because you made me crave it haha
my only question is how are they surviving with rent in ny being astronomical?
Wow that guy is rocking that saxophone
I show up for the Phoenix Resale goodness, but stay for the Riff cameos.
That's my neighborhood! Google never show bus stops correctly, lol
You should do a series of uniques game shops around USA
Dude, feels like I blink and the video is over already. Love your content man, Have a great day!
Hey that's Lucky Chops at 5:08
I used to go to video games ny all the time. They have pretty much everything but their retro game prices are crazy
Some cool stuff in those shops! I just found a CIB Jungle Green N64 Console Donkey Kong Set at a local shop, thinking of trading an XY Evolutions booster box for it.
Leo P playing his sax right there on the street?? Man!
I remember videogamesnewyork when they had a small store on st marks called multimedia1.
Love ur shirt vader cool 😎
I'm smitten at the fact that Brooklyn Game Shack has a Regina display stand on their wall.........WANT
I remember when i went to gamestop in new york back in 2014 when i was there on vacation😁
