Core Gaming

I could've place on that game shop selection. But place is nice wether you like to go back in time of those good memories on standard console and games. Or they have some collectibles, and well everything on each game section. If you like to be an oldie for those consoles those miss and because being sold out or discontinued, that's a good store you can look around here. Of core gaming. Some game used seller has some stuff on each of controller and since any actual electronic retail store been selling good stuff. 🎮🕹️

Great store and collection! Everybody working in there was extremely nice and welcoming and doing a trade-in was super easy. Was able to trade in and get myself and N64. Thanks guys!

Their deals on bulk Pokémon cards are amazing. I always find myself leaving with two stacks for so cheap! The shopping experience here is really nice. Sometimes I might find myself here for over an hour with how broad the selection is. Nick was also extremely helpful and kind, even with me pestering him to look up games. ☺️ I really recommend stopping by if you're a fan of Pokémon and Nintendo games, this place is such a gem.

May 2nd, I purchased one of the copies of Pokemon Crystal that were listed on socials the day prior for about the same price you would find it on ebay / with a new save battery and was listed on their website + on the receipt as having a new save battery. I tested to make sure it saved and it did intially but when I got home it was gone / wasnt holding saves anymore. I assumed it was most likely a faulty battery. I reached out on their Instagram but never got a reply. May 4th, While I couldve replaced the battery myself, I didnt want to replace it and have it be something wrong with the SRAM chip itself and then be told nothing can be done because I replaced the battery myself. I returned and was told it should've had a fresh one and that it must've slipped through the cracks and was offered a new replacement, I accepted and after several attempts the person was unsuccessful at getting that copy to hold a save and that it could be sent to someone at the nashua store if wanted but would take several days. where I lived 30-40 mins away asked if we could swap it out with the cart from the CIB copy they had ($800), or just do a refund. that copy didnt save at first either which is an odd coincidence that another expensive game like this "slipped through the cracks", (both looked like factory soldering at first i dont think they ever did swap in new batteries) however after once or twice more on that copy it finally held a save. I was there for over a hour between waiting on 5+ replacement attempts, the person doing an interview even though wasnt a manager?, and verifying the save stuck longer than a few mins left with a copy that actually saved, even though it wasnt as good condition on the outside as the first was willing to accept it as I just wanted a working copy, that is until I got home and opened the cartridge myself to test the battery with my multimeter as I work in IT and know soldering basics and wanted to make sure the battery wasnt faulty because it was odd to me that it took so many attempts, but after opening it up and seeing what is in the picture included I knew everything I needed. Yall should not be advertising GB/ GBC/ GBA games with fresh batteries just to make more money or replacing these or any batteries/ parts at all if you dont have someone that knows how to properly solder, I dont expect perfection but not having fresh batteries to start and then leaving with a copy that both connections to the battery are barely made with a bunch of flux left on the board that shouldve been cleaned up is unacceptable on a almost $200 purchase. I dont know what kind of soldering iron was used and if these older boards get too hot can cause damage that may not be apparent at first so not wanting to take that risk returned the following day (May 5th) to just get a refund like I should've the day prior. Im glad I atleast got my money back but If yall can't correctly replace those batteries, you should be selling them for less, like they go for on ebay (with dry battery) and advertise the battery is dry / needs to be replaced instead of lying and improper replacements that could be causing damage as well. On top of the refund, I was offered $20 for the inconvenience of this situation, however I didnt use it and dont plan on returning as I went from mildy annoyed to pissed off and this wasted alot more of my time and money then that, as I live about 30-40 mins away, so spent several hours there, traveling, and troubleshooting total. I saw today they listed it again but at their Nashua Location which prompted me to share this finally on both locations. Another thing... Ive been a customer for 7+ years, It had been a while since I was regularly in last, before my most recent visits this store used to be great on quality AND pricing but now its all the same/ equal as ebay pricing, or more in some cases! keep in mind sellers on there make about 15% less after ebay fees/ taxes and shipping and I can find better prices on there sometimes... I prefer supporting local but wont be returning here thats for sure

The store was truly remarkable. I felt a sense of childlike wonder as I perused the impressive selection of games. The variety of titles was truly commendable. While some games were more affordable than anticipated, others were understandably priced higher. Nevertheless, I recognize that this is the nature of business. I will definitely be returning to this establishment in the future.
