Gaming News Nintendo grits its teeth: visitors didn’t follow these rules in its museum

The big story of the little craftsman

There’s a lot to say about Nintendo! Founded in 1889, the Kyoto-based company first made a name for itself with cards and then toys before becoming an indispensable giant in the world of video games. We can no longer count his consoles, his accessories, his ideas and his franchises that have marked the history of our favorite industry. Therefore, it was ultimately rather normal that the manufacturer developed its own museum to properly highlight its incredible origins. Logically, the doors of the Nintendo Museum opened in Kyoto in October, after a slight delay due to a particularly ambitious project. The group had to transform the Nintendo Uji Ogura factory, built in 1969, into a real center that would welcome fans from all over the world.

Unsurprisingly, the museum traces the Japanese brand’s rich history and offers a whole range of exclusive goodies for purchase. This building is part of a general policy aimed at promoting the company beyond video games. It is thanks to her that the Super Nintendo World amusement park in Osaka exists (which was also exported to Los Angeles and will then also arrive in Florida and then Singapore), and it is also thanks to her that the Super Mario Bros. -Films are created and The Legend of Zelda is produced. With the Switch 2 announcement seemingly imminent, there’s no doubt we’ll be talking a lot about Nintendo in the coming months.
