Japan's official Nintendo Museum will soon open to the public, but a few lucky influencers were given the chance to walk around. A building full of stories There's a lot from Nintendo's past, so that means images of what you'll find as you walk around. That's what I'm looking for online. And although the museum tells stories that go back to Nintendo's beginnings more than a century ago, But the souvenir shop sent it to us.
Few people have shared photos of what they found in the Nintendo Museum's gift shop, but for what appears to be an exhaustive look at what customers will be able to purchase on the way out, You'll want to check out Game Watch. The site has photos of everything in the Nintendo gift shop, some of which will make you rush to book a flight to Japan. Wait a minute, even if you've already gotten to Japan. You'll have to figure out a way to take your bulky Nintendo controller back with you.
These are definitely the ones that caught my eye first among all the photos shared. So far I've seen a Wiimote controller, a giant padded Famicom version, and my personal favorite, a giant Nintendo 64 controller. They all look huge, and right now the museum is the only place in the world where you can buy them. Maybe one day they will ship it to them. Although I'm afraid to think how much it costs. If one day you can sell these in all of your Nintendo stores, we'd really appreciate it.
Nintendo's museum has giant controller cushions
Someone grabbed my N64 for me as they were walking by. Thanks.
The controller cushions are the best, though. But it is only a small part. The museum also has merchandise dedicated to every console ever made. And I mean every console, even the Wii U and Virtual Boy, have featured caps and t-shirts with their logos next to them. I feel like that's no accident. I even spied Nintendo's 1960s Ultra Hand toy in a photo of a Game Watch or 2024 game simulator, which has unexpected connections to modern Nintendo.
If you're planning a trip to Japan to visit the Nintendo Museum, you'll want to check ticket availability first. Museum tickets are issued using a lottery system. And it was already fully booked in the first two months.
Before creating video games, Nintendo produced playing cards and toys. One of those toys is the Ultra Hand, an expandable toy arm that you can use to pick up objects. If you haven't connected yet, This retro toy was the inspiration for Link's special ability in Tears of the Kingdom, which is likely why it's being recreated for sale at the museum. Now excuse me while I try to use Ultra Hand to pick up a Wiimote cushion while wearing a Wii U t-shirt.
