ABOUT R8RO

At R8RO, we believe that every pixel, every 8-bit sound effect, and every button press carries a part of gaming history. Our name is more than a cool spin on the word retro—it's a tribute. The 8 in R8RO is a tribute to the legendary 8 buttons that defined an entire era of gaming: the D-Pad, A, B, Start, and Select, which graced such classics as the NES and Game Boy. Those 8 buttons were not just controls; they were the key to doors of adventure, joy, and childhood memories to last a lifetime.

From the 80s family rooms to the 90s playgrounds, these consoles set the stage for gaming culture. We carry on that tradition today—connecting the golden age of gaming to the gamers of tomorrow.

OUR MISSION

To preserve the legacy of retro gaming, bringing back the magic of 8-bit and 16-bit worlds, and making them accessible for everyone. At R8RO, we’re not just selling consoles—we’re curating nostalgia, reviving classics, and ensuring that the joy of retro gaming continues to inspire future generations.

MORE THAN JUST A STORE

R8RO is a time machine for gamers. Every console we introduce you to isn't just hardware—it's a doorway back to Saturday mornings, late-night gaming marathons with friends, and the raw thrill of pressing "Start" for the very first time.

Because at the heart of it all, 8 buttons were all it took to unleash limitless adventures.
And at R8RO, we keep those adventures alive.
