Many of us of a certain age can still remember the first time we picked up a Nintendo Entertainment System controller, quickly immersing us in the colorful worlds of Super Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong.
If these games played an important part in your childhood, Japan’s long-awaited new Nintendo Museum is a must-visit.
Opened to the public on October 2, the interactive space is set in the video game company’s former factory complex in Uji, about an hour south of the city of Kyoto.
Spread across three main buildings, the Nintendo Museum leads visitors through the company’s 135-year history with an exhaustive exhibition that includes rare consoles and prototypes, interactive games, experiences and even a themed burger restaurant.
