Nintendo’s long-awaited museum lastly opens to the general public quickly. The place is full of 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 Change. However maybe the perfect a part of this museum is definitely its reward store, which is full of among 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 offered out for the following two months. Nonetheless, what I’m actually enthusiastic about isn’t strolling by way of the writer’s lengthy historical past of Mario, Zelda, and Metroid video games; as a substitute, I wish to go on a procuring spree within the museum’s reward store. GameWatch posted a plethora of pictures of the place on-line and it’s wild to look by way of. The store consists of shirts, mugs, pens, and different objects based mostly on each Nintendo console. Sure, even the Digital Boy!
Did you ever assume to your self, “What I really want is a espresso mug that includes the colours and brand of Nintnedo’s failed 3D handheld console, the Digital Boy”? Nicely, you reside an odd life, however fortunate you, Nintendo could make your (oddly particular) goals come true. There are additionally Wii U objects, 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 things finds its method over to the Nintendo Retailer in NYC as a result of I’m petrified of what scalpers are going to cost for an SNES ballcap.
Listed below are among the coolest issues we noticed within the store, however do additionally take a look at GameWatch for much more pictures of every part within the retailer, together with costs on a lot of these things and extra close-up pictures of tinier merchandise.
