Nintendo is exhibiting us photographs of their Kyoto retailer and I need to be there
Nintendo goes to launch a Kyoto storefront (at Kyoto Takashimaya SC) to increase its present lineup in Tokyo and Osaka on October 17 of this 12 months, they usually’re within the “full hype mode” stage of selling for the time being. This spherical comes in the form of photos from the publisher’s official Nintendo Tokyo Twitter account, and the shop actually sells itself at this level.
Along with Mario-laden buildings like an enormous pipe (full with Mario’s head popping out of it) and a traditional “Mario stage” motif, there are decals for Zelda, Animal Crossing, Pikmin (which I virtually missed!), and Splatoon adorning the home windows. Whereas three of the 4 photographs showcase the spectacular and thematic outdoors of the shop, one in every of them provides us a have a look at the merch that can presumably be on sale

At a look, we spot:
- Large pipe statues
- Plush mushrooms and Mario characters/enemies
- T-shirts
- Luggage
Nintendo also gave us an official blog post, with a preview of extra merch.
It’s not going to be an all-comers scenario although, at the very least at first. Nintendo notes that “A complete of two,000 individuals will probably be invited to the pre-opening by lottery,” the place you’ll be able to rating visits on October 13 and 14. When you’re native or plan on visiting Kyoto on these dates, you can apply for the lottery here.
Good luck! I’ll probably be there as soon as the crowds die down the following time I go to Japan.
