In this special episode of New Show Overflow, MinnMax's Ben Hanson and Kelsey Lewin are joined by Giant Bomb's Dan Ryckert for a little retro video game shopping at Gamerheadz in Edina, Minnesota. Kelsey co-owns Pink Gorilla Games in Seattle, so we lean into her expertise to walk us through running an independent video game store. Dan Ryckert has become obsessed with collecting retro video games over the last couple of years, and he has a shopping list of things he wants to find. Special thanks to Tony and Gamerheadz for letting us record in the store! We paused the normal rotation of New Show Plus because of GDC, but we'll be back next week with potentially a new episode of Spiciest Interview. This episode was created because we revive a rejected New Show Plus show idea whenever we hit our sub goal on Twitch, so thanks for following us on Twitch! / minnmaxshow

More retro gaming stuff with Kelsey is great content

@zayas0001 6 месяцев назад

Enteratining and highly educational.

@wittynicknamehere 6 месяцев назад

Kelsey generally improves any Minnmax content she's on. Though they definitely caught a nice break in shopping what looked like a really excellent store.

@joeyisabsb1 6 месяцев назад

If youre looking for N64 cib stuff the last place I saw some were at Hi-Score in Blaine MN. This was maybe 2 months ago.

I can somewhat explain the mysteriousness behind the rock band/Guitar hero equipment. To boil it down to a basic answer though, Clone Hero. Pretty much each game had a slightly different guitar and some (mostly the xbox ones) are compatible with Clone Hero on pc. The one that is the most popular is the original Wired white Xplorer Guitar Hero Guitar. That alongside the new Fortnite mode and enough time to pass for people to get nostalgic for those games is a perfect trifecta of a sudden spike in sales for those things.

@MrGrokthis 6 месяцев назад

Make this a continuing series! Kelsey’s knowledge and expertise, Dan’s good nature and Ben’s enthusiasm all rock. Can’t believe this wasn’t done a year ago!

@ham5463 6 месяцев назад

Kelsey's concentration while going through this store is so endearing. Loved the insights she provided on the practicalities/logistics of operating a game store. I do tech support for retail locations in a different industry, but it resonated

I'm glad you guys are able to follow through on ideas that you're passionate about, even if they don't win on New Show +. This was great!

oh good! I missed when they went outside for New Show Plus. It's really what made MinnMax special to me.

Legacy Games in Rosemount, MN is another game store worth checking out. It's small but packed!

@MondayThirteen 6 месяцев назад

@@joeyisabsb1 Haven’t heard anything about that! The employees I spoke to seemed nice. 🤷‍♂️

@joeyisabsb1 6 месяцев назад

Looks like I was mistaken, the place with the hilarious reviews are from Mr Zeros in Roseville and not Legacy games in Rosemount. Please go read the reviews for Mr Zeros though, from trump supporter claims to awful puns its all there! 😂

@joeyisabsb1 6 месяцев назад

I withdrew my comments so no one gets the wrong impression about Legacy Games since that place was great!

I don't know how Ben Hanson can look upon that cornucopia of UMDs and call it boring. For shame! Amazing video, such a great pick for New Show Overflow; would definitely love to see y'all do this with other game stores.

@JIPunisherIL 6 месяцев назад

I'm always fiending for more retro/collecting stuff to watch, so this was such a jolly time!

@expsharevideogames 6 месяцев назад

Ben if we were selling boxed PC games that didn't include cd keys or whatever was needed to launch the game I guarantee you at least half of them would get returned. That's a large part of why we don't carry them either

@hermes_job_observer144 6 месяцев назад

Should've checked the price on that Gregory Horror Show (PS2). I always wanted it, but it goes for a pretty penny these days. (I game hunt a lot and you never see it in the wild, ever!) Also, missed Fromsoft's Otogi 2 (XB), and Gunvalkyrie (XB). Really would've loved to see the price for the Little Nemo Dream master (NES), another great game which keeps going up in price. Other favorites i saw were Cool Spot (SNES), Bart's Nightmare (SNES), Lost Kingdom 2 (Fromsoft) (GC), Folklore (PS3). Can't believe the lone Sega Saturn game was Blazing Dragons, lol! Terry Jones of Monty Python fame helped create it and did some of the voices. It's a point and click adventure game where the dragons are the good guys and humans are evil! (You would've had fun with it Dan. I see you have a Saturn since Mr. Bones was on your list. Amazing game!).
