Save Point Video Games

By far one of the most interesting game stores I’ve ever been in. Great place to sell your old consoles.

Couldn’t recommend this store enough. Prices are excellent, staff is respectful, and trade-​in value is 60%. Really lucky to have a store like this in Charlotte. It beats every store I’ve been to in any other city by far.

Awesome place to that caters mainly to retro games but they do have games for the Wii, PS3, and the 360. The atmosphere of the store is very laid back and there are a lot of cool decorations for different video game franchises all over the walls.
Last time I was there, they had a Wii U setup with the new Super Smash Bros. game.

This store is STILL awesome! Not one problem aside from used games being a little dirty. Employees have all been very helpful to me. They know plenty on retro games… Save Point are just nailing it!
Prices are reasonable, and there is always deals going on, 10% off sale when I went on 8÷30÷2014. Got ‘Medievil II’ for the PS1 for $ 16.99 instead of at $ 19.99. I have also picked up ‘Vampire Savior’ (Darkstalkers 3) for the Sega Saturn here, and other PS1 games.
When I drop by the place, I also like to play some of the arcade games. There is currently ‘Street Fighter II’ and ‘Super Mario Bros.’ pinball machines, a MAME arcade cabinet with various fighting games, and who doesn’t love the classic 6-​player ‘X-​Men’ arcade game?
By plagarizing AlphaOmegaSin, nerds, nerdettes and gamers, check this place out and buy some games! Don’t be shy… the employees are there to help you!

This is a decent used game store and they have a variety of old school games to look through. They do need to limit the number of same used games per console though as looking through the NES section there were 10 Top Gun games, and a billion SMB variations. It fattens the shelves to look like there were more games there than there really are.
The prices are a bit high in some games, but low in others. One problem I noticed is game cartridge shape didn’t really affect price. I was staring at 2 of the same game and one was really beat up with the label in bad shape and the other looked okay, yet they were the same price. That was disappointing as shape is always something I look at when I grab games.
The staff seemed nice, but there was some dude sitting on a stool chatting with the 2 guys behind the counter the whole time I was there, I do not know if he worked there, but he just seemed to be som regular just chatting and distracting the other two.
I would recommend the place if you are nearby, and can hope they start bringing in more games as it looks like they get people’s collection and all of the good games are gone as soon as they come in to «reserves», so you may want to see about reserving a game if you are really after it.

The absolute best video game store I’ve ever been to!
My lovely boyfriend and I were bored on a rainy Saturday and found his old Nintendo 64. We searched for places in Charlotte, NC that sell 64 games and this was the first place to pop up in the search engine. I called them to make sure they had the game I wanted (Donkey Kong 64) and the gentleman told me that they had one left in stock and he gladly put it on hold for me. When we drove up there, my eyes popped out of my head! It was the cutest video game store I had ever been to! They had old pinball machines against the walls and the place was very organized, not to mention very fair priced! The guys really know what they’re talking about and everyone was so kind. I couldn’t remember a few names of my favorite childhood games and all I had to do was describe the game and they knew exactly what I was talking about! The only complaint I would have is the distance from my house but it was very worth the drive! This is the only video game store I will go to from now on! This is definitely the place to go if you want some serious nostalgia!

I love this place. They hold tournaments and have games you can play.
All of the prices here are reasonably priced also.
You can pretty much find what your looking for here and if you can’t then the staff keeps a look out for you and will notify you if the game your looking for is in.

This store is every retro video game player, collector, lover’s dream. They offer a great selection of retro games and systems, as well as current gen systems and games. The greatest thing about this store is the knowledgeable staff with the spectacular prices coming in a close second. Wilder knows his stuff and is always ready to identify a game you loved from your childhood. All you need to do is provide him with what you remember, and BAM! You will be thanking him for recovering those lost memories.
Did I already mention the awesome prices? Save Point generally offers first day release titles for a few bucks less than the big retail competitors. Why not save a few bucks and support a great local establishment? It is a win/​win situation here! Never expect to pay an outrageous price for games there. Even the rarest of titles sport a reasonable price tag that will give you every reason to avoid Ebay for those sought after games.
Lastly, Save Point brings back the importance of a 25 cent per play Arcade. Nothing is more fun than getting a few friends and pumping quarters into the 6-​player X-​Men Arcade machine (Dazzler is da best, by the way). Sure this isn’t the main draw of the store, but you can’t help but play the great classics available in store. Who doesn’t love the Simpsons Arcade Game and Marvel vs. Capcom? Probably communists, but that isn’t the point.
Just do yourself a favor and visit this gem of the University area. Browse the selection, get to know the staff, play some arcade or demo system games, or even participate in one of the many free tournaments on Wednesdays. If anything this store will give even the casual gamer, or once-​upon-​a-​time gamer, a huge helping of nostalgia. Save Point is a real class act and deserves to be in business for many years to come.

Went here the other day in search of a Super Nintendo and they were sold out. They did give me plenty info about the other alternative systems I had thought of getting and then ordered for me the Supa-​Boy (Portable SNES) and now I sit at home and wait. Can’t wait!!!
They had a good selection of all games and some great old school arcade machines. Glad to see a video game store that carries everything all the old systems and not just the new systems like all the Major stores.
