SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. —
A national video game retailer is looking to make a big splash with nostalgia-focused gamers.
GameStop announced the opening of new Retro GameStop stores on Tuesday, with a cryptic social media post showing off a host of video game console logos from decades past.
In a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, GameStop posted a logo for the new retro stores, alongside a banner showcasing video game consoles, including the Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Sega Genesis and many more.
"The Classics are Back," the post reads, before linking to a Retro GameStop store locator.
While a full list of locations is not available, a search on the store locator shows that the University Mall GameStop in South Burlington was listed, along with the GameStop in the Upper Valley Shopping Center in West Lebanon, New Hampshire.
An employee at the University Mall GameStop confirmed that the store has converted a section of the store into a retro gaming area and is already selling titles for several old-school systems. The employee confirmed that they are working on putting out stock for other systems, including Super Nintendo and the Nintendo 64.
It is still unclear how many of GameStop's locations will be converted to Retro GameStops at the time, as the company did not release a full list of stores. There are more than 2,900 brick-and-mortar locations in the United States as of August 2024.
