Gallery: Nintendo Gives Us A Closer Look At Its New Store In The US

Gotta spend that money people! Spend, spend, SPEND!

@Pigeon
But I don't have any money!

Planning to go in July. Also visited the Tel Aviv store several years back.

Why a statue of Skyward Sword Link? Surely BotW Link would be better for modern times?

@Pigeon

ME: But, Bowser, what is this place? What is it that you do here?

BOWSER: Merchandising.

ME: Merchandising? What's that?

BOWSER: Merchandising. Come. I'll show. Open up this door.

RED SHIRTED EMPLOYEES open double glass doors to the store.

BOWSER: Ha, ha, ha, come. Walk this way. Take a look. We put the company's name and characters on everything. Merchandising. Merchandising. Where the real money is made. Nintendo-the T-shirt, Nintendo-the printable coloring sheets, Nintendo-the LABO box, Super Mario Odyssey-the Breakfast Cereal, Nintendo-the ULTRA HAND. (fuses my wallet to the cash register)

RED SHIRTED EMPLOYEES: Ooooooo.

BOWSER: The kids love this one.

Last, but not least, Bowser - the Doll. Me. (pulls on the string)

BOWSER DOLL: May the Switch 2 be with you.

RED SHIRTED EMPLOYEES giggle.

BOWSER: Adorable.

It's a little frustrating that the store is opening up AFTER I moved out of the State.... But hey, less reasons to kill myself financially in order to attend events/releases.

@nohr7 I noticed the figure you can buy is also that version of Link. Maybe they wanna fall back on the classic green tunic Link because it’s the iconic green and they are using that in the movie. Or maybe it’s just an old statue but I doubt that since they are selling the figurine too

for some reason i say 0 games in these pics. More games Nintendo

Hoping for one in Amsterdam at some point. I'm glad this one is far away from me. My wallet is grateful for that.

Waiting for a permanent London or Paris store.

We taking bets on how long before it gets looted?

Wow hadn’t realized it was that young. Went to Nintendo new york before the rebrand a decade ago. Fantastic store and museum. Hoping to go to San Francisco this year but priorities have changed.

@speed_loafer Ah, Mel Brooks' Spaceballs. I love that film. Also saw the animated series as well. In fact, the episode "Grand Theft Starship" parodied a bunch of video games. And there was a version of Samus Aran in that episode! Plus, the episode "Outbreak" had a gag where Lone Starr used the wrong end of a dog whistle and summed a tornado that took him to some sort of fantasy video game world, just like in The Legend of Zelda.

Awesome looking store. I still have fond memories of visiting the Nintendo store in New York several years ago. If I ever make it out to SFO again, I will definitely check this out.

I visited the NY store on Wednesday so I can say I visited the Only US location at the time. My family and I really enjoyed it and was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended.

Wish they would open up a Nintendo Toronto store, would definitely go to that!

Very open floor plan + not much on the shelves = $$$$$

@speed_loafer I love a good Yogurt reference.

Before the Nintendo NY store, it was a strictly Pokemon store for a little while. I still remember going there and getting a little Miltank plushie when I was like 5 or 6 years old.

Krysta and Kit also did a tour:

so excited to see the memories made here! what a special moment in the world of nintendo 💫

Cool I can customize my joycons, can I get a dpad?

"No."

@Liam_Doolan oh cool! Thank you!

Visited the New York store. Looked around for five minutes and didn"t buy anything.

@MoldyPasta Last time I went to GameStop, they didn't have many more games than that either.

@MoldyPasta if it mimics the New York store, sealed games are behind the counter. They only sell Nintendo first party games and published games so they don’t have to have a massive selection since it only covers the active gen.

Can you say "dystopian nightmare"?

San Francisco is an odd choice.

Paris, Berlin, London, Madrid, Sydney, Singapore the list goes on for better choices.

Sadler indeed, he looks miserable.

Interesting to see Pokemon stuff there,
the Japanese stores don't have that, I guess because Pokemon Center stores are everywhere, sometimes even in the same building as a Nintendo store.
(By the way, if you ever go to the Nintendo store at the Shibuya Parco, of course also go to Pokemon Center, but also check out the Capcom store in that building)

Nintendo are missing a trick not having one of these in Europe. Doesn't even have to be in the UK, I would fly to another city for the sole purpose of visiting (and just an excuse to be a tourist in a foreign destination) but going all the way to New York or San Fran for it isn't feasible. We haven't yet had confirmation Super Nintendo World is going to be at Universal Studios when it arrives here. We need a Nintendo Mecca to flock to in Europe. It would probably be in Germany where the HQ is tbh

Awesomeness… now open one in Orlando!!!!

With Nintendo of America HQ being located in Bellevue, I hope a Seattle store is in the works! 🤞🏼

london. please.
