A new Nintendo museum, showcasing the company's century-long history, is set to open in Kyoto, Japan on October 2, 2024. A recent video tour by legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto provides a glimpse into the extensive collection.

The museum, built on the site of Nintendo's original 1889 playing card factory, offers a comprehensive journey through the company's evolution. The tour highlights a diverse range of exhibits, from early Hanafuda cards and board games to iconic video game consoles like the Color TV-Game and the Famicom/NES. Visitors will see the progression of beloved franchises such as Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, alongside less-known Nintendo products, including a surprising "Mamaberica" baby stroller.

The museum features interactive elements, such as giant screens allowing visitors to play classic arcade games like Super Mario Bros. using their smart devices. Miyamoto's video showcases a captivating display of gaming peripherals and memorabilia, spanning various regions and eras of Nintendo's global reach. The museum promises a fun and engaging experience for Nintendo fans of all ages, celebrating the company's journey from playing cards to a global gaming giant. The museum's opening promises to bring many smiles to visitors.
