The Nintendo New York Twitter account has revealed the second floor of the store will be closed until 11:30am on 15th January due to a private event. Here's the official tweet below:
So, what could be happening? It's hard to say at this point. All we do know is that this type of event has happened before and details haven't always been revealed. If we do find out anything, we'll be sure to let you know.
In the meantime, feel free to wildly speculate in the comments below.

This does NOT mean a Direct is happening. In fact, you can go on Twitter and get enough info for your own Direct. #howbadcanibe
it's probably been rented out by some rich person for a mingle-party, or something like that
Private event ?
Or Private Party ?
Btw, it's so exciting to see a Nintendo shop for real over there.
Here in Indonesia that will NEVER have any Nintendo shop (except small game shops in Mall).
Malls in Indonesia are just bunch of Boring shopping centre, Boring boutiques, Boring toy shops, Boring cinemas, Boring Restaurants / Cafes, Boring Game Arcade, Boring Events celebration at Mall, etc. 😒
There is NO such an Interesting place like Nintendo shop.
This can only mean one thing. Bowser and King K. Rool will finally have that wrestling match. Wario and Waluigi will be epic on commentary and Mario will slip back into the referee's shirt once again.
The undercard will be the Pearl and Marina grudge match and Danny DeVito and Ryan Reynolds in a Pikachu Cosplay street fight. Also, a battle royale with all the Links.
it seem prime 4 release date has been leaked for november 2019 by a retailer.
@PrincessBowsette yeah because unofficial leaks by Czech gaming stores always pan out as real lol. Love when placeholders send people freaking out that it's legit. So pathetic.
@SpacedDuck true but prime 4 releasing during the holiday time frame cant be rule out since its been in development for a while.
Just so you know. They like to do this all the time. Gather buch of fan and show new stuff coming. This is definitely MP4.
@PrincessBowsette all well and good but seeing 50 sites saying that Primes release has been leaked is comical and honestly embarrassing for the industry. The world has enough dweebs following around celebs to see them eating and walking their dogs, we don't need that crap in gaming.
@SpacedDuck im not disagreeing but we cant rule out prime 4 releasing at the end of 2019 i mean nintendo has pulled the impossible before.
Oh it’s nothing. I’m just gonna shop there on the second floor for a while. I’ll be quick. I promise
It’s Barron Trump’s birthday party.
It’s so weird seeing photos of that place empty. I’ve been there several times (including a couple weeks ago) and it’s always a zoo.
Like the Bungie-Activision breakup, this means nothing for Nintendo.
A Direct is going to happen, but private events at NIntendo NYC are actually quite common and aren't indicative of anything.
I wish there was a Nintendo store in my area. The best thing we have is Gamestop but everyone has that lol.
PS5 launch party.
Super Mario Sunshine 2....a man can dream....lol.
@MasterGraveheart and on the first floor, Tom Nook is selling tickets to watch
Wow, cool story bro!
@Anti-Matter , if you near Jakarta, try visit pse Enterprise at mangga dua, they invite gamers for a event (mostly Nintendo games), play, win, having fun, and interesting grand prize.
@christ15 : Posts on this site must be in English.
Word on the street is that Funky Kong did a massive sh*t on the 2nd floor and they’re having to get the cleanup crew in that day.
Eyes Wide Shut.
@christ15
Hmm...
Mangga Dua Plaza.
I think I will check it by any chance.
BTW, I live in Surabaya, East Java.
@Silly_G
This is Mangga Dua Plaza Jakarta.
@MasterGraveheart Remind people to be wary of Captain Syrup selling fake tickets, and that after the event Princess Daisy will hold a sports tournament.
It's a special direct for the 23 people who remembered bowsers inside story was coming out today
Companies have private events all the time. Doesn't mean anything interesting is coming out of it for us customers.
@CurryPowderKeg79 : They edited it after the fact. Their original post was what appeared to be in another language (possibly Indonesian/Javanese) written in a system using Latin characters.
@CurryPowderKeg79 @Silly_G I wonder why we can't see if a post is edited here.
Alright since no one else will, I'll be the one to wildly speculate a filmed Switch Pro reveal will be filmed there. But in reality it's likely nothing of interest to the general public.
Chuck norris announced that he will buy a switch on that date. His announcement alone is worth an event 😂
Totally totally the direct we’ve all been waiting on
@SpacedDuck @PrincessBowsette if you look Metroid Prime 4 on Amazon, you will see a release date for Dec 31 2019. It’s been up there for a while. I’m surprised that no one is talking about it either.
@thesilverbrick if you go to the Nintendo store on a Wednesday at 11:45am, it will be slow. I have been to the Nintendo store a few times and it wasn’t packed. Every retail store has down times
Shigeru Miyamoto just wants down time. He's jet-setting the globe, and it just so happens he'll be in NYC that day. I just wanna say, Miyamoto, Kit, Krysta, Reggie, & Shantae for Smash dlc, Confirmed!
I can see some trailer taglines now:
Kit, & Krysta take more than a Minute, to win the battle!
Reggie's body is ready!
Miyamoto creates his victory!
Shantae magically moves herself to victory!
lol
@Anti-Matter dude I'm in the UK and I went to New York 3 months back just for the store! And it was worth it! I would like a Ninty shop in Europe (Germany?) Be easier and cheaper to get to lol ... But on this article, I think that Samus has come from far away to rent out the store to show them a private demo of Prime 4 😜
@dublae when sites put the final date of the year as a release it is a placeholder dare and nowhere near official.
Ugh I can't wait till my bday this year. Heading to NYC and going SHOPPING! Gonna buy so much Nintendo Merch...haven't been there since the rebrand.
@super-nintendo That would make me very happy. Just imagine how much they can expand on the Super Mario Sunshine formula. I am afraid that ship has sailed though.
Sounds like Nintendo may have a company related visit to their store in NA/NY. And plan to host a little party upstairs as they likely talk about expansions either to the store or adding another.
Its probably some rich kids playing Smash.
Metroid 4 would be amazing but can’t see happening here personally:(
@Sir_funkington Check the top comment.
Lol fake news. They do this all the time.
