Super fun to do. We had amazing experience time creating the gameboy. Definitely recommend to try this when you come to Japan, specifically this studio. Very kind and helpful people.
what a fantastic experience! kids had so much fun! Bin was so so so patient! this is definitely the highlight of our trip! highly recommended!
An incredible experience from start to finish! The workshop was amazing, and creating and customizing our own Game Boy Advance was such a fun and unique activity. The instructors were fantastic, super friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step and making sure everything went smoothly. The atmosphere was great, and it was so satisfying to build something with our own hands and take home a personalized console. A must-do experience for any Nintendo fan, retro gaming lover, or anyone looking for something different and memorable. Highly recommended! 🎮
We had such a wonderful experience with Pixel Labs Tokyo! From my very first outreach to ask about the skills required for my kids to participate, Bin and the entire team were absolutely fantastic. They were responsive, friendly, and accommodating at every step. The workspace itself is so much fun, especially for anyone who loves retro video games! We took the Game Boy Advance class, and it was such a unique and memorable experience for our family. The kids had a great time, and we even picked up a couple of games to bring home. It’s clear that Bin and the team genuinely care about creating a great experience for their customers. Their communication, flexibility, and welcoming attitude really set them apart. I would highly recommend Pixel Labs Tokyo to anyone visiting Tokyo, especially families looking for a fun, hands-on activity that’s a little different from the usual tourist attractions. Thank you, Bin and team, for such a great experience. We’re so glad we found you!
Dope room to work in, video games set up around the room you can play before you start in a cool, comfortable setting. Step by step detailed instructions & hands on help. I booked this for my daughter, wish I was into these so I could have built one too! Must do if in Tokyo & you're a gamer.
The Gameboy Advance Mod Workshop was a blast. Luca and his team were great at explaining instructions and making sure everyone's work looked good. Which was nice considering I had never soldered anything before this workshop. The variety of customization options for the shell and buttons really let you build a Gameboy that is yours.
Pixel Lab Tokyo was one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Japan! You can build your own custom Game Boy Advance SP, with an incredible variety of options to choose from, and you receive fantastic support and guidance throughout the process. An absolute must for any retro, Game Boy, or Nintendo fan. I'm just so happy I did it—truly an awesome experience! The best souvenir 😍♥️
Loved the experience and ended up with an awesome GBA! Great workshop and super helpful for all modding experience levels. This was a great way to spend time in Tokyo. Highly recommend for those who love gaming
What an amazing experience! I got to build my very own custom Game Boy, and I absolutely loved it. The instructor explained everything so clearly and patiently guided me through every step, making the whole process easy to follow and so much fun.🕹️ The atmosphere was incredible—everyone was cheerful, welcoming, and excited to be there! I’m so happy with my Game Boy, and having built it myself makes it even more special. An unforgettable experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you so much! ⭐️😍
