Best Time to Visit

If you’re anything like me and prefer a more relaxed shopping experience, I’d recommend stopping by during weekday afternoons – especially Tuesday or Thursday when it’s typically quieter. However, weekends are when this place really comes alive! Saturday afternoons are particularly exciting with their regular gaming tournaments, though you might want to arrive early to secure a spot.

The first week of each month is especially good for deals, as that’s when they typically roll out their new promotional offers. But here’s a pro tip: follow their social media for flash sales announcements – I’ve scored some amazing deals this way!

How to Get There

Getting to MA1TTO is pretty straightforward, whether you’re driving or taking public transport. If you’re coming by car, there’s plenty of parking available in the nearby lots. For those using public transportation, several bus routes stop within a comfortable walking distance, and it’s just a short walk from the nearest metro station.

Just keep an eye out for the distinctive gaming-themed storefront – you really can’t miss it with those awesome window displays they change up every month. I still remember getting completely distracted by their incredible God of War setup last month!

Tips for Visiting

Alright, let me share some insider knowledge I’ve picked up from my countless visits. First off, join their membership program before making any big purchases – the points add up faster than you’d think, and the birthday month perks are actually worth it.

Always check their trade-in values online before bringing in your old games. Sometimes they run special trade-in promotions that can get you extra store credit. If you’re planning to participate in any tournaments, definitely sign up in advance through their website – these events fill up quick!

Bring your own controller if you’re planning to test games at their gaming stations (though they do have some available). It’s just more comfortable playing with your own gear, y’know?

Don’t be shy about asking the staff for recommendations – these folks really know their stuff and have helped me discover some absolute gems I would’ve otherwise missed. And if you’re into collecting, make sure to check out their display cases regularly – they rotate their rare items pretty frequently.

Oh, and one last thing – they’ve got this awesome discord community where they announce upcoming events and exclusive deals. It’s definitely worth joining if you plan on becoming a regular. The community there is super helpful, especially for finding gaming buddies or getting tips on tough game sections.

Remember to bring cash for the vending machines if you’re planning to stay for tournaments – trust me, you’ll appreciate having snacks and drinks handy during those intense gaming sessions. And maybe bring a backpack – you never know when you’ll stumble upon more games than you can carry!
