Japan Times:

Nintendo […] will open its much-awaited first museum on Oct. 2 featuring vintage video games and an interactive shoot-em-up with Super Mario characters.

The museum in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, is located inside a renovated old factory built in 1969, where the gaming giant began life making Western-style and Japanese playing cards and later repaired consoles.

Though I never had a Game Boy, I’m very much a Nintendo gamer: I’ve owned a Super NES, Wii, GameCube, and Switch—and I’m relatively confident I still have them and all my games in boxes somewhere. So while I’m not saying I’d make a trip to Japan just to visit the Nintendo museum, I’m not not saying that either.

The related video tour gives more insight into what the museum looks like, and shows off some of the early devices, their large game collection, and various interactive features.

Update: By happenstance, today marks 33 years since the Super NES North American release. Happy birthday, SNES.
