GameStop stores are bringing back physical sales for NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and SEGA Genesis games, or at least some games from this collection of nostalgic gaming machines. The new development is the latest from the ongoing GameStop Retro initiative the retailer launched back in August aiming to tap into the retro market and get consumers back into their stores, something it has struggled to do as modern gaming increasingly shifts towards a digital future.

According to GameStop, supplies for each of these games will be limited, and when they run out there will be no restock, at least not this holiday season.
“GameStop, the world’s largest video game retailer, is joining forces with Limited Run Games, the premier publisher of physical video games and special editions,” says GameStop of the news. “The two companies promote the shared values of physical game ownership in an increasingly digital media landscape. This partnership combines GameStop’s renewed push into the retro market with Limited Run’s history of high-quality re-releases of classic games, allowing fans to grow their Limited Run collections at GameStop stores for the first time.”
