Nintendo’s long-awaited museum lastly opens to the general public quickly. The place is crammed with a long time of Nintendo historical past, starting from when the newly based firm made enjoying playing cards within the late 1800s all the best way as much as its present smash hit console, the Swap. However maybe one of the best a part of this museum is definitely its reward store, which is crammed with a few of the coolest Nintendo merch I’ve seen in a very long time.
On October 2, after being introduced in 2022, the official Nintendo Museum opens. Good luck getting in, although, as tickets are bought out for the subsequent two months. Nevertheless, what I’m actually enthusiastic about isn’t strolling by the writer’s lengthy historical past of Mario, Zelda, and Metroid video games; as an alternative, I need to go on a procuring spree within the museum’s reward store. GameWatch posted a plethora of photographs of the place on-line and it’s wild to look by. The store contains shirts, mugs, pens, and different gadgets based mostly on each Nintendo console. Sure, even the Digital Boy!
Did you ever suppose to your self, “What I really want is a espresso mug that includes the colours and emblem of Nintnedo’s failed 3D handheld console, the Digital Boy”? Effectively, you reside an odd life, however fortunate you, Nintendo could make your (oddly particular) goals come true. There are additionally Wii U gadgets, too. Maybe the best issues I noticed are large pillows based mostly on totally different Nintendo controllers. Lastly, I can sleep on an enormous and fluffy N64 gamepad. I hope some (or most) of these items finds its approach over to the Nintendo Retailer in NYC as a result of I’m scared of what scalpers are going to cost for an SNES ballcap.
Listed here are a few of the coolest issues we noticed within the store, however do additionally take a look at GameWatch for much more photographs of all the things within the retailer, together with costs on a lot of this stuff and extra close-up pictures of tinier merchandise.
