GameCube · PS2 · N64 · NES
One of the deeper GameCube and PS2 shelves on the Northwest Side, priced like the thrift shop it is rather than like a collector’s market.
Chicago has a handful of dedicated retro video game stores, and they are good at what they do — graded, sleeved, priced to the current market. This is not that. Jojin’s Kitty is a thrift shop that happens to have accumulated a serious shelf of sixth-generation games, and they are priced accordingly.
The strongest sections by far are GameCube and PlayStation 2, with smaller runs of N64, NES, Wii and PS4. Discs, carts, the occasional controller and accessory.
The GameCube shelf is the one worth making the trip for. It is the largest single console section in the shop and it turns over steadily, so it is genuinely different from one month to the next.
Because it is a thrift shop, stock is whatever came through the door — there is no distributor and no reorder. If you are hunting something specific, the live inventory below is the fastest way to check, and calling ahead costs you nothing. If it is not here this week, it might be next week.
4100 N Pulaski Rd, just north of Irving Park Rd in Old Irving Park, Chicago 60641. Straightforward from Portage Park, Albany Park, Avondale, Jefferson Park and Logan Square, with street parking out front.
Every console title currently in the shop, pulled live — GameCube, PlayStation 2, N64, NES, Wii and PS4.
