My jaw absolutely hit the floor when I saw what this video was gonna be. I live in the Niagara area and frequent these shops regularly!!! Each have their own charm and pros/cons. It was sureal to see footage of a game shop that's less than 5 minutes away from my house! Love you Matty! Keep up the great work!!!

I kinda like the 'surprise envelopes' and seeing the games lose or cracked cases or stickers where they shouldn't be. Sadistic I know but also entertaining to watch the anguish of a bad purchases, we have all been there

Congratulations on your engagement! You became one of my favorite creators with Retro Rebound this year. I also watch the main channel but this is the content I really love. It's cool you went out to local game stores after the community vote, I appreciate that. There are some great pickups here! Obligatory shout out to the trails pick up, I have never even seen that version of sky before. I also stand with you on infinite; I think it's one of the best fps games ever. I actually just finished playing Tales of Xillia for the first time yesterday, so that was a funny coincidence for me that you picked it up!

Just wanna say congratulations on the engagement Matty. You come across as such a genuine guy on this channel and it's great to see good things happening to good people. 👍

I enjoyed this video a lot and hope you do more retro game stores in the future too, but I do miss seeing you pull the games out and reacting to their conditions surprisingly.

Let’s gooooo. It’s awesome you went to some retro game stores man.

Thanks for showing the address for mixed styles! Just added it to places I need to visit for video game collecting and video game preservation! Also thank you for mentioning game eye. Gonna be a lot easier to track what I have lol. Retro rebound was the yt channel that convinced me to take part in video game preservation. You're making a difference in video game preservation man. Keep it up love your videos!

Love your money drop/game buy vids and have no idea why - just so entertaining!

It's nice to see the store near me getting some love ❤️ Been watching since the fallout 4 wishlist videos keep it up!!

Man, I'm so old that I still don't consider anything from the 2000s to be retro gaming 😂 2D is retro gaming.

OOOO She's not gonna like that one Matty, you'd better watch out! In all seriousness though, i wish you two all the best, i really love this video series and i can't get enough of the channel, great content :)

And congratulations on the engagement man.

Your videos are the best. Love the game clips you stick in them.

Just turned on the notifications for your videos dude! Your best pick up video yet! Love your pick ups!🤩

Good stuff man looking for the next

I know this is an "older" video now but electrical contact cleaner works amazing for removing sticker residue.

I live in Ontario so I grew up going to these retro game stores, it's sweet to see that you visited them and got some good stuff. Me and my Dad used to always visit Mixed Styles and another one that was really big here called Entertainment Overload. Sadly the latter (my personal fave game store) shut down a few years ago.

Here go baaayybeee in the fast lane to 100k!! I see it bro! You got this

My man! Gamestop got us good this year.. can't wait to see your next video on that one 😛

Love these videos. Fwiw: I hope you don't feel the need to continue to increase the spend. If you wanted to spend $400, by all means: I'm happy you're investing in something you love. You don't need to increase it for the audience, though. We just love watching you get all happy on games you really enjoy and have an affinity for. Peace.

Congratulations man! 😃

Thank you for mentioning the gameye app. Had no idea it existed and is going to change the way I collect and shop. So many times I've wondered if I've owned something already whether physical or digital since I'm subscribed to ps plus and I've legit bought physical before when I had already claimed it on ps plus

I live in New York not far from Niagara Falls glad you enjoyed your time

As a Brock student I got so excited when I heard you visited st.Catherines :)

Enjoyed this retro game shop video for better quality finds vs gamestop with their typical cart-only, missing the manual and aftermarket box/artwork junk. Keep up the great work Matty! Also, I agree with the sentiment others shared that hopefully you don't feel the need to increase your spend just for content, video games are spendy these days..!

So glad you got attack of the saiyans!

FINALLY!!! Been requesting for Attack of the Saiyans for a minute now lol Looking forward to the Review.

Ahhhh so excited for FF8! My favorite of the series really hope you enjoy it! Also the "Tales of" series is fantastic one of my favorite JRPG series but they are a huge commitment but I hope you get around to it cause I think you'll really like them. Loved the spotlight on retro game stores but also really like the mystery of the gamestop videos, of what games you got and the condition they are in, just really love your reactions it really makes the video. Great video keep up the good work sir!

Aww, congratulations. You both look very happy.

Well deserved Matty. You deserved some CIB after all that GameStop mess.

Gotta love the content man! Are you from Ontario Canada too? Much respect to the grind man congratulations on your engagement 💙

I got a complete in box copy of FF 1 on NES from gaming gators, it’s a cute little store to visit if you’re in the Niagara area

Great video, really cool

I’ve stayed at that hotel, it’s amazing and the views are great!

The Last Story was a great pick up bro!!!

MORE OF THESE! MORE OF THESE! MORE OF THESE!

Need more of these videos :)

Game eye app? THANK YOU MATTY!

The Last Story is sooo good. Recently just got a Wii again just so I could play it again.

Channel is criminally underrated bro, love your content

Ultimate ninja heroes 1 and 2 were my first naruto games and psp games. Love them.

Hey Matty if you want to look into other retro markets. Definitely recommend the PC market like Mist, jazz the Jack rabbit, starwars X/Y wing, ect.

love these videos!

Tales of Xillia is actually my favorite game of all time. I bought the same edition you've bought in 2014 and who could have known it will become my favorite game ever. At the same month Xillia 2 came out, so I bought it as well right after beating the first one, and loved it as well.

Damnnnn dude was sooo close to where I live lmao. Gaming Gators is such a great store man

Matty, I JUST sold my copy of the last story special edition and now that you have one I want it back

I remember seeing Jump superstars at a best buy on ds. I got the last story at launch and it also has a lil slip thats a pain to keep with it. I don' think I ever see it with it when its being sold. Everytime I move I'm afraid I will loose it. XD

Proud of you man you'll make her really happy

I love all your content but these, these are my favourite. Physical copies all the way!

Final Fantasy PS1 games are one of the best ones. I highly recommend also getting the Final Fantasy Anthology release, I have it and it's beautiful!

Very nice Matty. Always love these pickup style videos. 🔥

Congratulations!

sick haul. Watching these is like pretending I have the money to collect more games like this T.T

love these videos

Congratulations on your engagement!

“The girth on my games is nutty!”

awe that sucks about the ps1. I had one in 1995 when I was turning 5. Still remember going from playing Evander holly fields boxing on Sega with my dad to a few months later playing ps1 demo disc from Pizza Hut. Kids will never understand that nostalgia cos that era is dead. Thanks for shinning light on ps1 era Matty!

The Last Story is amazing! On wii i highly recommend it and Pandora’s tower. I don’t have collectors edition tho. Beautiful. Can’t wait to some Naruto videos! Clash of Ninja and Rise of Ninja and their sequels were awesome. Please cover the Tales Of series!!

I never owned a PS1 in my life either. Kinda crazy how much we have in common. I feel so tempted every time I walk into Gaming Generations - the retro/new game store in my area. They usually have a PS1 in stock and I almost get one every time. I went in there on Friday and snatched up a beautiful copy of Battle Network 5 for very cheap. It was 25% off all used games so I ended up with almost $100 worth of games for $55.59. I set a hundred dollar budget for myself so with the leftover money I bought the DS version of BN5 for $38 and the Blade series from the Walmart $7.50 bargain bin.

i'm from st catharines! Absolutely love mixed styles!

As a recordcollector and a gamecolletcor i really enjoy theese videos

I have been replaying infinite on ps3 using the move and nav controller! makes for a very ps3 unique experience! great pick up man

You mentioned how much you love Bioshock Infinite no one talks about that game you got a subscriber!!!

Keep it up Matty!

does anyone else think Matty looks like Dax Shepard or am I high?

Trivia: Dragon Ball Attack of the Saiyan is made by Monolith Soft (Xenosaga, Xenoblade, Baten Kaitos, etc). ;)

you need to make a video of actually buying games on the safari. That would be amazing! I love retro gaming as well.

No way! You went to all the local shops I go to lol

attack of the saiyans is really bloody good, but you can probably get through it in about 5 hours or so since it only covers from the Piccolo Jr battle to the end of the Saiyan Saga.

LOL Damn Matty, $90 for the box n manual. That sounds like you had to sell your Soul to your buddy Soul for that

I have the Last Story collectors edition that I bought new from Walmart where I live I never really play it when it came out I bought it for fun.

Issue with Bioshock Infinite is the game was late in the generation and was primarily designed around Unreal Engine 3 as opposed to 2.5 of the previous ones. It's so much smoother on remaster or pc. I have PS3 version solely as I have a ps move and I enjoy the motion controls

I love Blue dragon also the manule was very helpful

I would love to see your reviews on the Naruto games. I played Ultimate Ninja 1-5 on the PS2 and loved them. Additionally, Storm 3 and Storm 4 were super great in my opinion.

Woah woah woah, hey hey hey wait wait wait. WHAT? My boy got ENGAGED? Congratulations man, not only that but you ALSO got to go and sleep in a MARRIOTT; WITH YOUR NEW FIANCÉ? You are KILLING it man

The last game with soundtrack that I picked up is The Witcher 3 bonus content edition. It was just a couple months ago at Gamestop. They had that sale 4 for $20 used games and I saw it for the PS4. I was shocked and it is in mint condition. Stickers and everything is in it.

Revenge of king piccolo is a pretty fun game. I think it's sort of a sequel to dragonball advance adventure, which is an awesome game. I wish attack of the saiyans would of kept going.

For FF8, I actually bought the remaster, I think it's really good, I can see why people don't like this one as much especially back in the day coming off of the Legendary FF7, but I still need to show it plenty of love, Leon is also in Kingdom Hearts, and you can even get Squall's outfit as a cosmetic in Final Fantasy 14 (if you're interested in MMOs)

Come to our store the next time you’re in Ottawa 😊

Hey next time ur in Canada come to London Ontario and go to the 2 Game Cycle stores here. The workers and owners are awesome, friendly and all about games and I've found so many great deals and rare games There's also another store called Microplay and they have some good stuff too. Let me know these stores are great and deserve the light

u keep raising the bar

I have all the Tales games from PS2 onward, Xillia is my favorite, but I really wish I could get Tales of Destiny II (Eternia), but it's so expensive.

Love the channel

Congratulations on getting engaged, homie

No sir, you are Retro Rebound! 0:23

We put pieces of clear tape on the sticky side of the sticker stickers and put it on the game afterwards at the pawn store I work at to avoid putting adhesive on the games/instruments

My favorite final fantasy games are7, 8, and 9! 8 was my favorite when i was a teenager

I think you should look into the legend of dragoon its an old ps1 jrpg one of my favorite games with a great story and combat i really enjoyed and still enjoy playing today.

Yessssss

if you cross the border again you gotta go to microplay. its like these stores but better and "kinda" a chain (mostly in QC)

Actually loved ff8 after 7. It has beautiful music

ah the classic floor to window window

Ayyy you got engaged in my home town lol

Congratulations to you and your fiancé!!🎉

FF8 is great. I didn't care for the Junction system but I still enjoyed the game very much.

Cool

You should do a collection/game room video Matty!!

Yo I live in Niagara Falls so these are my spots, think thats so cool maybe even saw you in an oogie games

Its 1 am here matt i was just about to sleep but i guess not 😩

Matty! Love these videos, thanks!
