Good Time Games - Waterloo, Ontario

This has been my #1 place to go for buying retro games. I have been going there for 3 years already and I was happy every time i left the store. The people there are very nice and acknowledge your interests. They have a great selection of PlayStation consoles and a vast collection of DS, and 3DS games. They are sometimes a bit pricey but its because they clean each item until you can't and keep them in working order. I would always be willing to drive 15 mins there.

A gamers paradise! Good time games is aptly named and they know their stuff. We have an older system and I was so happy to find that they have games for all kinds of older systems too as well as current games. I went here after a game store in Cambridge had closed down and I went in here to see what they had and was pleasantly surprised. This is so much better than going to an EB games and paying such more and Good time games has such a bigger game selection too. I found their prices to be fair, and a bit on the lower side . Their games room in the back is really cool. For $10 an hour you can let them know which system you want to play on and they will set it up for you and your friends and you can play any game they have in stock (call in advance to book it) The floor in there is so cool it's made up if game discs that have been poured into the floor. That's such a cool room to be in and would be fun to play there for sure. Kids parties would be fun with this. I love the massive selection of the games they have.. you cant go wrong if you enjoy video games. The prices are good and the service is friendly as well. I've already been back for more games! Happy to support this local small business.

Great selection of games and controllers. The owner was very friendly and he clearly loves what he does.

This place is, without a doubt, the best gaming/collectible shop in KW. The owners are some of the friendliest, most professional people I've ever done business with, and the selection is just incredible. Everything from popular and modern games, to rare and obscure older stuff of virtually every console generation, all at fair prices. I've spent hours in here before just browsing before I even bought something, and more often than not, I'll walk out with something I didn't even know I wanted. The owners are always happy to chat and help you out as well. Can't say enough good things about these guys. If you're a fan of hole in the wall, mom and pop-type places, or just wanna have a good time shopping for some new gaming stuff, this is the place for you.

Owner Chad (?) was an absolute delight; staff were all friendly and well informed. Good vibes, great deals on used games and on VERY unique items. Japan imports; limited editions etc.

I LOVE that this independent game store exist in my neck of the woods. Visit them! You won’t regret it!

Also Ni No Kuni II was recommended to me. Never heard of it. Can’t stop playing. They have the steel-case there too; kind of wish I’d grabbed it. Maybe you can!

An amazing haven for gamers! A friend and myself drove down from out of town to retro game hunt and this place is amazing! They have so much from retro, to current gen, limited run stuff and even collectors editions. Plus a ton of different hardware spanning across systems to controllers and peripherals! The owner Pat was an awesome guy who not only knew his stuff, made us feel super welcome! I'm 2 hours away and I will definitely be coming back! Thanks for an awesome first experience!

I have never left this place empty-handed, and I fear I am addicted. Each time I go in, the staff are the most generous, helpful, honest, and entertaining people you could ask for. The prices are ridiculously amazing, and they frequently have great deals. I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly personable their service is. I've been coming here for a bit to build up my Nintendo game collections, and they have never disappointed me. It is definitely always a good time visiting.

A bit on the expensive side, and the staff are a varied spectrum of helpfulness. One of them gave me completely wrong information that I immediately confirmed with a quick google search, almost felt like he was trying to get me to just buy the thing I was asking about. Not a store I feel the need to return to. Very large selection though, if you're looking for something specific and are willing to pay above going rate.
