The Griffon Bleu

A must-visit for any fans of retro games. They also have some anime-related merchandise as well.

Great selection of video games old and new. Lots of rare titles. Whether you're into video games, anime, DND or trading card games, this store has something for you!

Over the years I have visited every retro game store from Quebec City to Toronto and nobody comes close to having the same selection and prices as The Briffon Blue. Just a fun store to buy from.

A veru good selection of games but everything is massively overpriced. Check other Ottawa stores and you'll see that they sell the same thing for 20-30% less.

why is the owner so condescending and rude?? It's the same every time I went, you are bothering him and he's a know-it-all. He wants your stuff for pennies, but will resell it from 40-70% the price he paid you. They are the monopoly in the region and you can tell he knows. Not going back and do not recommend!

Staff is nice and friendly! Prices are fair and they have a nice variety of items, I've shopped here a few times and would recommend it to others seeking older games or manga.

A great store with all the selections of games you can think of. And if you' re looking to exchange your old console for a newer one. You can bring the old one in and exchange it for a price reduction on you newer console. The also buy games, games boxes, amibos/Skylander and any other gaming accessories. So if you need anything videogame related, I really recommend The Griffon Bleu.

Love the store, they do offer less for your trade-ins then theyre worth but thats normal its like a nerd pawn shop they have to make a cut afterall.What bothers me and prevents me from giving 5 stars is i recently learned that they no longer offer repair services for old consoles and accessories, for me this service was a great help in feeling comfortable buying older gaming items as these are prone to issues since they are used and over 20 years old, it was nice to know that if anything were to happen they were close by and could most likely fix what ever the issue was, i dont want to open youtube and mess about in these things myself.Im sure they have their reasons, but its dissapointing nonethelessP.s also not a fan of the 3 day warranty on games, some games take ages to playtrough and theres no way i can fully test any used game in such a short time with my busy life, fingers crossed that the games i bought dont stop working or have issues near the end of their playtrough.

Visited this store for my first time today. Awesome store. A ton of games for a lot of different consoles. Even games for old and unusual consoles. Their inventory is really impressive. And of course, I love the shop cat!One recommendation for the shop though. I would recommend finding a different way to verify your games for the warranty. Placing the silver tamper-evident sticker right on the game disc makes it very hard to remove without damaging the disc. Unofficial stickers can hurt the value of games.Update: I went into this shop again today. When I picked out a few more game the owner let me waive the warranty to not put the stickers on the games. He was very polite about it and let me inspect the discs before purchase. I appreciate it.
