GameZetera

Great selections of games. Similar to market prices but are willing to work with you on prices. Easy return policy if items stop working or don’t work upon testing. Friendly owners who are knowledgeable about games. Do some research before coming in, this way you know what your are buying. If you are looking for eBay prices, then shop on eBay. :)

My son loves playing video games and found this store. We have visited it multiple times! I have always found it to be very organized and friendly, knowledgeable staff as well. Thanks GameZetera!

Definitely worth checking out. I've been coming here for a while now. The store has a lot of variety and the guys that own it are super friendly.

If you're into older model video games, this is the place to check out......used game consoles, cartridges, and accessories. Guy who works there knows all the stuff thats in there, professional, knowledgeable about video games. Just spent $600 there earlier, and will definitely go back for more. Felt like a kid again in that store. 5 STAR, AAAAA+++++

Just got helped out by Shane while buying N64 games, super helpful and polite. Will be a returning customer

Bit pricey but you don’t have to pay for shipping. Great selection and staff

Awesome retro store! Games, cards, ect... Huge selection and great pricing!

Lots of games as you would expect. Nice selection of better games behind the glass that arent just super expensive (but are priced more for collectors). They have quite a few NES and Sega cartridges on the shelves. Lots of games for Switch without cases.

Employees where super nice! Good selection of games, cheap prices, and awesome selection! Got some ds games and loved it! Sadly one cartridge was busted up(dents in it) however it still functions fine! Awesome store!

I totally love shopping there especially they got GameCube & Wii Games I played a lot growing up. As a Gamer I absolutely love finding retro games that bring back my childhood memories of gaming, the staff are very nice and I have no issues as a customer. I totally recommend shopping there if you still love playing retro video games and etc.

Great selection, Staff were also super nice. I’ve looked around the store quite a few times and noticed they have tons and tons of rare classics that are high in value. Everything I buy there works perfectly and they also are kind enough to refund me if I have any problems with their products. 10/10. I recommend this store to any collector/gamer out there looking for gems with reasonable prices!

Such a gem in Ottawa. We love shopping here and adding to our collection. They always have a huge selection of consoles, games and merch!

Lots of older games reasonable prices

Amazing selection of retro games in Ottawa, stoked they stayed open after the pandemic happy to support local business. Happy returning customer always find what I need and more

This is the place to go for your retro gaming needs. Great selections of games and systems from my childhood. Another added bonus for sports cards collectors where you can get your fix for sports cards from boxes , single cards to complete your set or personal collection. Highly recommend. Great owners and lots of knowledge

Such an incredible little store. It has a great selection of games for a range of old systems, all nicely displayed - very clearly run by people who are passionate about what they do. We are very lucky that a town like Ottawa has a shop this cool - support them with your retro gaming purchases if at all possible!

So I was looking for Pokemon Diamond for months now with the only offers being $80+. Until today when I called Game Zetera and got lucky with the LAST copy of Pokemon Diamond for 59$. Shane was nice enough to hold the product for me until i could get there and was very helpful with answering the questions I had regarding any other older pokemon games they had left in stock. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good price and shoutout to shane for holding it, great employee!

Great store specializing in Retro Gaming, very wide selection means you will likely find what you're looking for when you pop in looking for Retro video games and consoles. They also have a pretty good collection when it comes to the current generation, all in all they have something for every gamer.

One of the best Local Businesses in Ottawa. Amazing selection of retro and modern games, collectibles, and more. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. A+ service
I don't go anywhere else for retro games

*update 2022*
Prices have gotten up all around in the retro game market, so don't be surprised at the store for following the market trends. Staff is always friendly as they have been since the original Cash for Games. Many 1 star reviews should be removed for not reviewing the store, but instead commenting on mask policies that are no longer obligatory as of April 2022.

If you've enjoyed the original store Cash for Games, you're in for a treat. With a larger location, Game Zetera is one of the best spots to get retro games for older consoles and plenty of other goodies too. As long as you are knowledgeable about video games, you're sure to enjoy this place! I recommend getting informed about the current prices of older games instead of being surprised that a game you used to play is "too expensive", or that you think you're not getting enough for a trade in! These guys will give you the most for your games if you know what they're worth.
