Nintendo has broadcast a presentation tonight in which it has not talked about new video games or anything that has to do with the successor of Nintendo Switch. Instead it has dedicated the entire broadcast to Nintendo Museuma magical place that will become a must-see for all those who want to learn more about the history of the great N.
Throughout a 13-minute video we can see Shigeru Miyamoto giving a tour of the different facilities of this place in order to fully show everything that visitors to the venue located in Kyoto, Japan, can do and see. The museum will open its doors from October 2ndwith opening hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day, except Tuesdays and New Year's holidays, when it will be closed.
It is a paradise for those who are fans of games, consoles or any product that Nintendo has manufactured. More than anything because on one of its floors there will be countless display cases which will include each and every one of the machines that have been created to date, along with their respective models and the titles that Nintendo itself has developed for each of them.
In addition, these will be accompanied by their Japanese and Western covers, giant controls and television screens where you can take a look at what each of them really look like. And that's not all, because there is also another part dedicated to Other products that Nintendo has created since its inception beyond cards, such as board games and other more surprising ones like a baby stroller and even a kind of revolver.
The other floor of the museum is infinitely more interactive, because there are many activities for visitors of all ages. There are exactly eight experiences which use coins that must be exchanged to participate in them and which naturally must be obtained separately to enjoy them all. At least, the entrance fee comes with ten coins that can be used in some of these mini-games available all around.
Miyamoto has left us with a preview of three of them to try out a machine based on Ultra Machine, a device that launches baseballs and that you have to hit in rooms that try to recreate what the rooms of Japan were like at the time when this product in question was published. Another is a competition with 12 other people in which you have to win points by shooting with the NES Zapper or the SNES Super Scope at a giant screen.
For its part, the last of them has a giant screen and controls that require the use of two people in some cases, so you will need the help of a companion so that one takes care of the crosshead and another of the buttons to overcome a level of Super Mario Bros. Still, there are others who use the Nintendo 64 controller or the Wii controllers, which are really huge in size.
Beyond all this, you can find a workshop to create Hanafuda cards, a restaurant to eat and drink something and there will also be a store to buy merchandising products. Regarding the ticket price The price will be 3,300 yen (about 20 euros) for adults, 2,200 yen (about 13 euros) for teenagers, 1,100 (almost 7 euros) for children, and preschoolers will be able to enter for free.
