I Bought a Retro Game From Gamestop in 2026
Hey guys. Today I hit up a local Gamestop hoping to take advantage of their 4 for $40 deals. However, it just didn’t work out. Rune Factory 3 and Rune Factory 5 on Switch caught my eye. Red Dead Redemption I was almost sold on because I want to play it. Unfortunately, it was missing the case art. I figured I could get it somewhere else with the art. Resident Evil 4 Remake was so tempting but I still haven’t gotten the Series X so it was be a little preemptive to buy it now.
But what I really wanted was Star Wars Bounty Hunter. I’ve always wanted this game, even back in the day. But I am obsessed with Mando and Baby Yoda, so it felt like I really needed to pull the trigger here. When I got to the front, the employee informed me that two versions of the game were traded in and I could pick out the one I wanted.
They had the limited edition cover art. That version of the game had the manual! That felt like a huge win! All in all, I’m disappointed I couldn’t take advantage of the 4 for $40. We’re doing a family day Saturday and I didn’t want to burn money on games I wasn’t ready to dive in to.
This was my first time in a Gamestop in probably a year or so. I was “impressed” with their selection. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t awful either. Pokemon Red was listed under pricecharting. Alundra 2 and King’s Field were also listed pretty well. But their new selection was depressing. Their Xbox games were barren. The Switch 2 games were mostly new, so none we’re eligible for the deal. Most Switch 1 and PS4 games were over the $19.99 threshold.
Have you bought any retro games from Gamestop? Let me know down below! Thank you for reading. Have a great day!

Announcement: Youtube, Daily Blog, Mew Mythical Collection
Hey, guys. It’s time for another life update.
So you guys have probably noticed post have slowed down again. Daily Blog is officially being put on hold. Here is why:
In 2009, I started my very first youtube channel. I was 14. I made some good friends. My brother and I were best friends and bonded over making videos and playing games. I had not even started high school yet, and somehow, this was what I was wanting to do with my life. I commonly remember this time period as the second best time period of my life.
My sophomore year of high school I gave YouTube a second try. Me and my friend did improv/sketch comedy. We sent them to all our friends and we had a small following in our home town. Yet again, this was one of the best periods of my life(at the beginning anyway). My senior year, my friend and I could not see eye to eye with what to do with the channel, he eventually realized we should not change our style, but it was too late. I had already lost interest.
My junior year, I returned to my roots and began let’s playing again. It had no momentum this time and suddenly, I was having editing problems. The audio and video were out of sync. At first, I tried fixing and working around it. It become too tedious and, coupled with school, just got lost in mud.
In 2013 as a freshman in college, I decided I wanted to return to YouTube. Roughly three years later, I get a chance to return to the website I love.
When I first started out, videos did not have to be 1080, the market was not super over saturated with lets players, and half the people you know and love today either were not around or were not nearly as popular. It was simply a different time.
I’ve tried. I’ve lost passwords, interest, and patience. But I’m here this time to see it to the end. So come along with me.
Right now I am let’s playing Pokemon: Golden Age for some friends. You should check it. I already have two videos out and I’m hoping to upload frequently. Just search DaHubbz in your YouTube.
For what I am doing for today, I’m going to my local Gamestop. They should have 4 of the Mew Mythical Collection tcg box. I’m strongly debating on buying all four. If I do, I might do a give away. If you want a more play-by-play and direct approach on this. Follow me on twitter to see what I decide over at Dahubbz.
Manga mondays and all that jazz are still on going so stay tuned for more reviews!
As always, thanks for reading this!
