The Nintendo Museum is a video game museum located in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It is owned by the video game company Nintendo and displays a wide variety of products from across the company's history. The museum opened on October 2, 2024.




History


The Nintendo Museum was first announced in 2021. It sits on the site of the old Ogura Plant, where Nintendo used to make trading cards as well as repairing toys and consoles. It will feature a new gallery that will "showcase the many products Nintendo has launched over its history" while focusing on the company's "product development history and philosophy with the public" dating back to its origins. Construction of the Nintendo Museum was finished in May 2024. A Nintendo Direct on the Museum aired on August 19, 2024 with a opening date of October 2, 2024.
Nintendo General Manager, Shinya Takahashi, stated that the museum will feature "a wide variety of Nintendo products from the company's history". Uji Mayor, Atsuko Matsumura, hopes that the new museum will be "appealing to video game fans". There are currently no plans to expand the museum to other locations outside of Japan.
On August 20, 2024, Nintendo announced on its official website that the museum will operate on a lottery-based system. Tickets will be sold through a random drawing, and visitors will be able to apply for a specific date in advance. Once selected, they will then proceed to pay for the tickets.




Attractions


Alongside the museum exhibit, which takes up the entire second floor of the building, the Nintendo Museum features a number of interactive experiences based upon various toys previously produced by the company including the Ultra Hand, Ultra Machine, Love Tester, Game & Watch and NES Zapper. Additionally, visitors can play a variety of classic video games on home consoles up until the Nintendo 64 or complete certain challenges in games using gigantic controllers which require two players to operate. The museum also offers a workshop for an additional fee, in which guests are invited to create their own set of Hanafuda cards, or learn how to play games with the cards.
