Nintendo Unveils Upcoming Museum Showcasing Its Rich Gaming Legacy in Kyoto

This morning, Nintendo unveiled a unique Direct presentation that offers a glimpse into its upcoming museum located in Kyoto, Japan. Guided by the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto, viewers are treated to a virtual exploration of the completed exhibition and its exterior.

The Nintendo Museum is situated on the historic site of Nintendo's original headquarters, where the company first produced hanafuda and karuta playing cards long before venturing into video game development. In subsequent years, Nintendo transitioned into crafting toys and entertainment products for children, ultimately leading to the launch of Game & Watch and the pioneering Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System) during the early 1980s. The museum serves to document this rich history, showcasing the accessories and characters that have become beloved symbols of entertainment, both in Japan and globally.

Naturally, the museum will display every console that Nintendo has produced throughout its history, alongside a retrospective of the numerous design iterations that have persisted over time, reflecting its gaming philosophy and titles.
