Mario_Friend1982 | 174 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Where can I find this kind of museum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alder | 243 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I don't know of a Nintendo museum anywhere (if there is I'd love to visit), but the Nintendo store in New York has some display cases with some interesting things, like E3 props (like the Master Sword held by Miyamoto) and the Game Boy toasted in the Gulf War. Not too much in terms of Nintendo history, but I think at one point they had the AVS there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 They had the AVS when I was there in 2008 but no idea if it's still there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkchylde28 | 1,546 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Didn't the Nintendo store in New York close down, along with just about all of the big name stores that were in that general area? Not sure what's become of the stuff since, but I suspect it's probably back at their HQ or in storage somewhere these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenjikuronin | 1,720 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The World of Nintendo Store in NOA's Redmond HQ has some things displayed. Or at least it did like ten years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 According to the website the NYC store is open for business, just overly picky about capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was the crazy rent and lessening of traffic in the area, same reasons that the Times Square TRU location was closing up (long before they went bankrupt), but someone above claims it's still open, who knows?

Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Well, let me save you the trouble. Photos from 2008 when I used to live in New York. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 @Code Monkey I scrolled up from the bottom so I was about to tell you to get your ass back there and buy that Skill Kid F4F statue. Then I saw that the photos were taken in 2008. T_T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alder | 243 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Here are some pictures from Feb 20, 2020 (just before COVID hit, and coincidentally the day of the ACNH reveal trailer) Edited September 2, 2021 by Alder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alder | 243 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 @Code Monkey looks like the Game Boy has lost some horizontal lines I wonder if they'd ever open it up to fix? Btw, have you heard the song Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton? I think of it every time I see your name, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept going back to look at it, kept thinking about it and then I just thought eventually I'd be moving back to Canada, how would I transport it? I decided not to buy it and have regretted it ever since because I still like looking at the photos. I don't know anything else about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen a sale in a while; 2500 total were made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit, what? Man, I was 50/50 on buying it, I even stayed around the store just so I could think about it a bit longer. I guess it doesn't matter, I wouldn't be selling it now anyway so price is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price only becomes relevant really if you decide you want one. Then it's a matter of "Boy I wish I bought it then...". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaC | 104 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Nintendo used to have their own museum/showroom at NOA headquarters. I believe this was all torn down after Reggie came into power. Woulda been a sight to see in-person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
