Nintendo’s First Museum to Open in October 2024

Nintendo has officially announced the opening date of its highly anticipated Nintendo Museum, scheduled to welcome visitors on October 2, 2024. Located in Kyoto, Japan, the museum is built on the site of Nintendo’s original playing card factory, symbolizing the company’s rich history.

Miyamoto Showcases the Museum’s Attractions

In a recent Nintendo Direct, hosted by Shigeru Miyamoto, fans were given a first look at the museum’s interior. The museum’s second floor displays a comprehensive collection of Nintendo products, ranging from the early days of the Famicom (NES) to the latest gaming systems. Miyamoto highlighted exhibits that showcase the evolution of iconic series like Mario and Zelda, as well as Nintendo’s non-gaming ventures, including a baby stroller and other unique products.

The first floor is dedicated to interactive experiences, where visitors can engage with giant versions of classic Nintendo controllers, such as the Wii Remote and Famicom controller. Miyamoto emphasized that the museum is designed to celebrate Nintendo’s commitment to “play and creativity,” inviting visitors to explore and experience the company’s legacy.

Limited Access to Interactive Exhibits

One unique aspect of the museum is that visitors will need multiple visits to fully experience all eight interactive exhibits. Each ticket provides a set number of digital coins, which are required to access these attractions. Additional coins cannot be purchased, adding an element of exclusivity to the museum experience.
