Willow Video - Langley + Abbotsford
Gamers Choice - Surrey
I don't venture into the Vancouver area that often so I'm not sure of any game stores in that area other than the ones that show up on google - EB games, Best Buy, The Source, etc. A lot of the ones that pop up are more focused on D&D style stuff.
Are there any stores that you might know of that I've overlooked and may be a good spot to call and visit?

Mostly Games in Port Coquitlam is worth a visit. I'll buy my more common games from there since it's cheaper than eBay's prices after shipping. Some of their more rare games are overpriced. I feel like those are more for display and to draw people into the store rather than actually selling.

Yeah it's ridiculous how expensive some of these cartridges have become. I enjoy having the physical copy of the game but I've settled for the Japanese variants which are a fraction of the price. I purchased Donkey Kong 64 for 680 Yen when I was in Japan last month. In Vancouver it's an easy $40-50 game. Swap out the backs with a common game like NFL Quarterback Club and it plays fine.
