The Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan seems to celebrate one of the most influential and popular video game companies in the world. This massive project covers the entire history of Nintendo, from its earliest days as a toy and card game company to the video game giant we know today. These range from classics like the Nintendo and Game Boy, to weird experiments like the Virtual Boy, all the way to the company’s modern state. The company will open the museum to the public on October 2, but the distance may be daunting for many Nintendo fans, and tickets are currently only available through a lottery system.
So before you make the pilgrimage yourself, check out the gallery below to get a closer look at the wealth of exhibits and experiences the Nintendo Museum has to offer. Be sure to read our in-depth impressions for more details on what it’s like to see Nintendo history up close.
