On 22nd November, Nintendo is set to open a brand new official store in Tokyo, Japan. Amazingly, it's the first ever official shop to arrive in the company's home country, but the merchandise on offer is looking better and better every time a new announcement comes our way.
Today, we've been treated to a look at some of the Super Mario-themed goodies you'll be able to find. You can check them out in the image below - there are plushies, pens, notepads, mini towels, bags, phone cases, and more.
The lineup joins a number of collections we've already seen, including an adorable set of Animal Crossing home-based merchandise, a cool-looking Mario x Pokémon crossover line, and plenty more besides.
The store will be based in Tokyo's new Shibuya Parco shopping centre; if you're planning on visiting Japan in the near future, make sure to add this to your to-do list. And bring us something back, would you?

Damn I wish we had that here in the west. I would love to purchase all of that Mario goodness!
Let stock rise
I’ll take the lot!
What a surprise, I'm there in that time 😊
Neat, I'll slide over there when the lines aren't ridiculous.
I would love to have this stuff over here in the states. I
Want all of it! Since the literally insane amount of interest in the pop up Pokemon shop (queues STILL hours long to get in) surely the time is right to have a London store akin to New York and Tokyo? Come on Nintendo!
I'm becoming a broken record, I really want Nintendo to open a store in Canada. Seriously they are one of the few companies that would make sense to enter in to the retail field. They're similar to Apple in terms of brand recognition and rabid fanbase. A global network of retail stores in major urban centres would work for them. I know in Canada, stores in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver would be exceptionally popular and successful. Even Ottawa, as the seasonal kiosk in the Rideau Centre proved to be. I really don't understand why they haven't expanded their retail footprint. It took forever for them to open a store beyond Nintendo NY and that was in Tel Aviv....now we have Tokyo & even the Pokemon Centre London pop-up. But at this rate, we could be well in to the next century before they decide to actually open another store. Good grief.
Now these look great!
I want them
(Okay, here's more text. Happy now, Nintendo Life?)
I still can’t believe there isn’t a store out here in LA. Maybe at a place heavily trafficked by families like the Grove.
@DarthFoxMcCloud: Perhaps Nintendo is just being their overly cautious selves, as they usually are in regards to not producing stock that not end up being sold.
@Everyone_Else: Cool! If I ever visit Japan, I'll have to go there.
They need me
I need to write more
