There isn’t anything on this app I couldn’t recommend more. Perfect perfect experience. Staff were lovely and helpful. They all had a super in-depth understanding of history and culture behind everything. Amazing value for money and the new girl Rose was brilliant!
Informative and engaging. The guides were hands on, accommodating and patient.
Sehr zu empfehlen für Nintendo Liebhaber. Sehr gute Auswahl an Teilen und Spielen. Hat Spaß gemacht den Game Boy zu bauen und war sehr kurzweilig.
Amazing! Inspiring! Informative!
Amazing experience, you get to really customize and make the gameboy your own. Staff is extremely helpful and they all speak English well so there’s no worry about miscommunication. They walk you through everything and are very patient. I would highly recommend for any retro enthusiast to give this place a go!
The experience was amazing from the beginning to the end! It was funny and even informative, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and a pleasure to talk with. Absolutely recommended.
An absolute BLAST! Loved the fantastic guidance, small/intimate setting, and friendly guides. It’s a really fun experience, with a very authentic feel, that allows you to get hands on and technical without a need for ANY technical info going in. Easiest perfect score I could hope to give for the product, guide, and experience. It’s fun and accessible, doable for young teens and up, though my experience seemed to cater to adult enthusiasts. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars for value is because I know this isn’t in everyone’s budget. It’s absolutely worth every penny and well worth the cost, but it isn’t a cheap activity. If you wanted to just BUY a classic Gameboy in Akiba you could get one for quite a bit cheaper. Though certainly not one built by your own hands, with a backlight. And the experience is just so much fun. So memorable. Best souvenir EVER. Note that the location is a tad difficult to find but the organizers are very patient, friendly, and communicative.
Loved learning about past Nintendo handheld products and the various competitors. The customization options were vast and allowed me to personalize it to my liking. They had a large option of gameboy games to choose from, I went with pokemon green version!
Such a great experience with a knowledgeable and fun staff that helps walk through the process. Went through a quick history of all the Game Boys (GB OG, GBC, GBA, GBA SP, ect.), then choosing parts, disassembly and assembly, and finally choosing a game. Had a great time and was able to bring my wife as well so she could watch and help! Recommend to anyone who has enjoyed this era of gaming.
