M & M video games

Whatever you do, do not buy brand new games here. Went to purchase a new game that was just released, but sold out at other stores. They had one copy behind the glass case, but it was open. The employee told me the game was only opened for display purposes and had not been played. I purchased the game (full price) and went my way. Got home, plugged in the game, and it had 3 save files on it with hours of gameplay on each file. Not only was the game used (due to the 30+ hours of gameplay on each file), not only did they lie; but they had to have had this game for weeks because it had just been released that day. If you’re there to by used retro games then you’re good, but do not buy anything new.

I must say, I walked in to this place and they seem to have a lot of selections of video games and consoles…
Mike, the owner was nice enough to help me, as there were other people that were in the store that was also being helped by the other employees…

F this place and especially the owner. They sell counterfeit gameboy pokemon games and the owner has done people very dirty. He should have lost his business already. I recommend going elsewhere even gamestop smh F this place and F the owner

Thought they gave good prices when bringing games here. Lol I was wrong. Brought in Guitar Hero Live PS4 almost new with 2 guitars and they offered me 30 even tho they would go and sell it for about 85 to 90 dollars, I payed 115 for it. Brought in an almost new PS4 controller, Evil Within and Dragon Ball Z Xenoverse. Offered me 33 total for everything. What a joke. I thought they did better than Gamestop but not true. Went to Gamestop and got 48 for everything. Better than 33. Wack ass store that isn’t any better then Gamestop.

I went in to this store to find a couple of retro games, and I noticed that there was not only high price but fake reproduction games sold as original. Not a place I will ever come to shop, I asked only a couple of questions, about games but the answers they gave me was «our price is cheaper than pixel vault «that is unacceptable to trash talk about another shop. I have done my research and avoid M & M games.

Been here a few times. Bought a few PS1 and PS2 games. Great selection of classic games and modern games. Clean establishment and all merchandise is well organized. The employees are professional, helpful, but not as talkative as other shops. I suggest you stop by offten because they are always adding inventory.

I’ve decided I change my review. I was a bit harsh on these guys. The customer service is pretty great.

Quick update from my original review:
Owner saw the review I originally placed here on Unilocal,and became very hostile towards me when I went to visit the store again to try and buy a simple cable for my dreamcast.
The interaction with the owner was not only hostile but made me feel like he cared more about telling me off over his own business wellbeing. The owner has little to no self control, and is not somewhere you will feel comfortable shopping at.
While my 500 or so dollars I have given to their business over the last 6 months was probably a drop in the bucket, expect similar experiences with the owner and staff if you do not stay on their good side. Do everyone a favor and visit Pixel Vault, Game Swappers, Super Video Game Bros, or 1UP Games if you want to be treated like a valid and wanted customer.
Please do not give these rude business owners your money…
Note: I am not associated with any retro shop, but have been around stores since Funco land in the 90’s.

Had a chance to stop into this place today and met the owner Mike. He was very nice and down to earth, he took the time to talk to me in depth and gave me options on what I can sell for a good deal and purchase to build up my game library. I don’t commend people often but when a business owner takes the time he did to talk to me, I respect the hell out of it. I will be doing business with MnM Video Games and think you should stop in yourself. Wall to wall video games and systems both new and retro way cool …
J…
p. s. I tried to stump him but he is very astute when it comes to video games no joke

They have a large selection, but they drastically overcharge on everything. I saw a PS1 there for $ 80 when I bought one for $ 30 that same day at a store a few miles away. The service can be good on occasion, but it depends on who is working because some of the workers are rude. Games are usually dirty and require deep cleaning.

Let me just say I have been going here since I was in high school, I now have 5 children whom I bring here quite often. The people working here are very knowledgable and kind, any bad review below is just a disgruntled ex employee. Grow up and find a hobby other than bullying business owners on Unilocal.You have way too much time on your hands and if your boyfriend knew about these «illegal activities» he could have gone to the police but wait that didn’t happen. M and M games rocks! Ps check out her man in the pic, he looks like a real winner! Hahahaha

If you’re into classic games, this is your first and only stop. All what you’re looking for from games to consoles to controllers.

Great staff! very helpful and their prices are reasonable old games are hard to come by so worth it

Great Place to find older games in stock. Guys here are on it. They have it all in one store. Check them out.

I’ve came to this place a couple of times now… I used to go to game stop down the street… friendly staff. short guy was working there name Mike. Found out he was the owner. Very knowledgeable unlike game stop… the guy was pretty honest… I spent less money in doing so. Anyways, the guy answered all my questions and actually gave me a discount. He said he had the shop for over 20 years and is about relationship building… Old school shop with old values… I like that much better. Also, found out game stop was ripping me off… Definitely have any and all games you can think of. alot of used games… Will definitely recommend everybody to go here. Ask for Mike. He’s the short guy. I don’t think you can miss him.

This place is a rip off. They benefit from being the only retro shop in the area, yet I have NO clue how they stay in business with the prices they charge. They charge double to triple what you would pay anywhere else. $ 80 for Super Smash Bros. Mêlée?! Get out.
They also give you pennies for your trade-​ins. I brought around $ 120 worth of stuff (priced via lowest prices on eBay, plus, I know my stuff) and was offered $ 20. Had to twist the guys arm to get him to give me $ 25. And I bet you thought GameStop was bad!
It also bothers me that they don’t clean their games before reselling them. Have some pride. A SNES game I bought had cobwebs on the contacts! Gross.
The owner also seems dishonest. Asked if they’d be carrying the Retron5 when it came out and what they’d be charging, and he told me $ 10 over retail. Retron5 drops and he’s asking $ 40 over retail. Again, don’t know how they stay in business with these tactics.
Pretty much avoid this place like the plague. You’re better off shopping eBay for your retro needs.

Just amazing! They have everything you can find. Staff are just incredible by helping you out and helping you find out which game is better than the other. They have the original NES, Gameboy, and Atari products.
Better than GameStop, my opinion. Very convenient to get to. Hundreds of Nintendo products from the 80’s to today. Will come here everyday if I can!

Always pricey! But I guess you can get a lot of used games for older systems… and if you dont want to wait for it by ordering it online you can go there… umm workers are nice and helpful whenever I buy anything … 3 stars just because of the price!

This place is the shiznit! All the throwback gaming consoles from Atari to Super Nintendo. Also, hand held devices like game boys and game gear. Furthermore, this place is loaded with games for all these devices! My only gripe is the fact that I found a game for $ 15 cheaper on Amazon Anyway, if you’re in the area and are looking for some throwback gaming thangs, then you should definitely check this place out!!!

So I’ve been here twice already. I love the fact that they have a HUMONGOUS amount of video games here, including PS3 and Xbox 360. They have a good selection with a lot of games, which is a good thing, but… here’s where the 3 stars comes in.
I’ve been to 1Up Videogames in Covina (I live there, and they’re pretty awesome. Talk to Joey, the owner cause he’s pretty cool) and I love it there. So, I go here after visiting my friend’s place and we all meet up here. I walk in and it’s games galore! I look at a couple of games and OH MY GOD THEY ARE EXPENSIVE!!! I literally look around at some games, and MY GOD they are expensive. I look at eBay and Amazon, and a lot of the games M&M sell are probably twice the price than on eBay. For example, one of the games I bought on eBay recently, Sigma Star Saga for the GBA, was $ 9.99 and comes with the manual. M&M? $ 12.95. Illusion of Gaia for the Super NES? Me, $ 9.99. Them, $ 29.99 without the box, $ 49.99 WITH THE BOX AND INSTRUCTIONS! I can probably get the instruction manual for $ 10, and a custom case for it for another $ 10.
So, I do like this place, but you really have to look around for the good prices. I did get some good games for good prices, but it was scattered by all the expensive games. Do some research on the games that you want first, then by here if it’s worth the price. They do have rare games like Suikoden 2 and Mega Man Legends 2, but like many say, look before you leap. Get on it, but with caution.
