Bounding Into Comics Reports: GameStop is making a bold move with its new Retro Program. The program will bring back classic retro consoles such as Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PlayStation 1 and 2, Xbox 360, and more to certain, well-established GameStop locations.

This launch comes just after the Xbox 360 Marketplace shutdown. The unfortunate event has left many gamers yearning for a way to preserve their favorite titles. If successful, this move could be a game-changer and lead to more consoles being added, new store locations, and even other retailers jumping on board.

However, its success hinges on the pricing and availability of the most sought-after games.

With the rise of digital games and other changes in the industry, GameStop has been dealing with a pretty steep decline and layoffs over the last decade. Nevertheless, one of the best-known video game stores has overcome the toughest times and is adapting to new circumstances.

GameStop ventured into selling gaming merchandise with toys, shirts, and more. However, it’s still a key place where gaming enthusiasts can find hardware, including headsets, controllers, and consoles. By reintroducing some of the consoles that changed the industry for the better decades ago, GameStop plans to bring back retro game collectors to their stores.

A complete list includes 18 retro consoles from SNES to PlayStation 3, and this shows just a growing trend among gamers who are becoming wary of modern games. Many players are frustrated with the constant online requirements, toxic community behavior behind the most popular games of today, and the fact that many titles are influenced by political correctness.
