This new gamer’s paradise dedicated to consoles and video games, offers a “playful and nostalgic immersion in the world of the Japanese gaming specialist, through a rich collection of admirably preserved toys and multiple activities around the consoles that have conquered the world”, according to our colleagues from Le Monde.
