Why it is on this site

Best for

Game Boy fans, or grandparents buying the grandchildren a souvenir no one else will have, on a pre- or post-cruise day.

Think twice if

Game cartridges are not included, and you make your own way there. It is a niche hobby, and three hours plus the rail ride from the Odaiba terminal takes most of a half day.
