While I understand the museum's focus on its products and interactive booths, I really hope there's a section about its past employees and CEOs. I know a lot of people might find it boring, but I appreciate learning about the people who helped build, and grow the company to what it is today. Such as Hiroshi Yamauchi, Shigeru Miyamoto, Koji Kondo, Eiji Aonuma and the late Satoru Iwata. I understand that maybe the company wants to stand as a whole, but it's these people who committed so much for this company, and who can inspire others, that I find the most fascinating.
I was thinking the same. I was at a video game exhibition in San Diego once, and at most they had half a sentence on the directors, while art museums have the biography of the artists usually in giant letters on the wall.
Iwata really encapsulated what it meant to be a good leader who was passionate about spreading the joy of play and creativity. It’d be a damn shame if they didn’t mention him
What I love is that Miyamoto-San was there since the beginning, and he says all the time “I remember this building before the museum…. I played this system on release…. I was part of the design of this….” The man is a living legend

I visited Japan in 2014 and visited Nintendo headquarters. I knew there was nothing to do there, but wanted to visit the building as I've been a lifelong fan. Security guards immediately rushed out to chase me away but my friend who spoke Japanese told the guards I just wanted to visit and take a photo with the sign - which I did and treasure to this day. I wish this museum was open back then, finally a spot in Kyoto for fans to congregate 😊
I did this way back in 2007 after Kotaku posted a vaguely worded article on how to find the building. No one was there to chase me off thankfully, but it was neat to see in person, even if it was just an outside of a building. Now I have an excuse to go back to Kyoto AND go see the building again (so they can direct me to the actual museum).
@@Cooingluigimario3894 It was a dream fulfilled to go to Japan and I'm forever grateful to my friend. Honestly everyone watching this video should visit, Japan is a beautiful country!
@@internetperson8911 I wonder how many foreign fans have visited that building. I used Google Maps to locate it and also walked by the older HQ, but that building was completely fenced off so I took a picture of the logo on the building 😅
I love that he hasn't lost his love for gaming. Watching him play the zapper game, the look of pure childlike joy on his face was so wholesome! I think after all this time most people likely would have turned too corporate to enjoy that, but that's what makes him unique!
I’m 41 now and have lived in Switzerland, Pakistan, and the US. Nintendo has been a part of my life at every stage, bringing me, my friends, and my family countless hours of joy and happiness. I can’t think of Nintendo as anything other than family. Thank you, Miyamoto-san, Iwata-san, Yokoi-san, Uemura-san, Aonuma-san, Yamauchi-san, Mr. Fils-Aimé, and everyone else who has made billions of children smile. I hope this joy can be extended to underprivileged children in various parts of the world.
Seeing two of the staff struggling with waving a giant Wiimote is hilarious!!!! Also the only museum I know of with a shooting gallery and baseball pitcher. And those singing Toads are the icing on the cake
I've actually gone to real life baseball pitching places (thought expensive) and I've come across shooting galleries at carnivals and state fairs before, even one at the Spiral tower in Niagara Falls but that one was broken at the time. If you have ever played on rail shooters/carnival games on the WIi or the shooting game from Wii Play, this is right up your alley.
@@kevinkite3418 nah I don’t think they told her/them not to, she was probably just both excited and trying to remain respectful and not steal the attention.
@@MilkWasABadChoice17 It's like his son, imagine how proud he must've self. He's pretty much the reason the whole museum exists. He's one of those men that can say that he has fully achieved his dream in life. This is basically the perfect life for him and I hope more people can get to feel like that when growing up, myself included
Indeed. I was lucky to start my gaming journey with the NES back in 1990 when I was just 3. 😌 Lived through all their home consoles. Now I'm so busy with work life in my late 30s that I have a hard time touching my Nintendo consoles, let alone my Sony consoles. 😅😅😖
I’m beyond excited about this museum. The combination of interactive exhibits, historical displays, and giant controllers sounds like a dream come true. I can’t wait to visit and dive into Nintendo’s rich history and innovative experiences.
It feels like I walked into a really excited person’s personal collection that the have been working on for years and they want to show me everything. It looks great
8:50 I like how the Nintendo Zapper and Super Scope in the light gun shooting gallery use Splatoon like paint splotches to indicate where a shot hits, referencing how both have been made into weapons in Splatoon. Cool detail!
Nintendo will always be apart of who I am as a human being, and the fact that this museum will welcome others to become apart of its wonder and magic is truly what playing games is all about, what Nintendo is all about. It's amazingly beautiful.
Let's be real here: he IS Nintendo. They wouldn't have been a successful company without him. Every good series they have (possibly aside from Metroid) is because of him. He is MR. NINTENDO.
@@RPGreg2600 Nah he literally created their video game division. Imagine no Mario, no Zelda, no Donkey Kong, etc. They wouldn't be making game consoles today without him.
I genuinely hope I get to go here one day. Maybe not right when it opens up but sometime in the future. It feels amazing to be a NINTENDO fan these days.
Genuinely, that was one of the coolest museum tours. Heck, the coolest gaming museum I've seen. Absolutely love the non-game/game history and the interactive games. Definitely on my list of places to visit if i ever make it to Japan!
I really want to visit Japan now. This looks so cool, especially the giant controllers you can use to play games like Super Mario Bros. and Wii Sports Resort.
I love how Nintendo’s creative process goes into everything they touch. Playing games with a large controller made with 2 or more people in mind is such a genius idea for interactivity in this museum, considering each of Nintendo’s home consoles have their own hook that makes them stand out. Utilizing each system like this is such a clever way to pay homage to the company’s history of consoles. Praying the stateside version comes soon. 😭
People at Nintendo basically just think “I wish I could do this” and make something that allows them to. I’m sure they thought “man, museums sure are boring”, and went from there lol. They don’t limit themselves and aren’t scared to break the standards, or even objects! as you can see in the baseball activity.
I do think what they should include is a memorial for all of the staff and crew that at one point worked with Nintendo, hosted competitions with Nintendo, and many people both online and in real life whom made Gaming with Nintendo what it is today. Especially listing the photos of the presidents/CEOs of Nintendo from the very first one to the previous presidents will help people understand how the great leaders at Nintendo helped swim the tides for what would be an ever-changing rapid tech developing world that we can't imagine having it go this fast without some sort of origin thanks to electronic games of the 1940s and 1950s.
Out of the respect for Nintendo's golden history and personal nostalgia, this is one reason that makes me wish I've lived in Japan. It just resonates so many happy memories I've had with family and friends.
Japan is not a good place to actually live, it's the kind of place you stay for a week, see the sights and have fun experiences and then leave. Or so I've heard, I've always thought the same way as you.
@@RedTHedge For an American it's probably not a good place to live. A completely different culture to ours and different laws. For a Japanese person who lived there their entire life, it's normal to them. They are part of the culture and help make it.
@@MeeBacon While you see right and part of the reason would be culture shock, there are a lot of valid reasons not to be there. In fact most people that have told me or said publicly it's not the best place are Japanese people living in Japan. So I'd assume they're right since they actually live there.
This is amazing! The fact they encourage people to play together, even in a museum, is exactly what Nintendo stands for! I bet Iwata would have loved this if was still here. Keep up the excellent work Nintendo, thank you for the years of fun.
Yep, 2039 will be Nintendo's 150th anniversary of the founding of the company, and it's 18 years older than the Hershey Company, but four years younger than the invention of Dr. Pepper in 1885.
@@SuperFlashDriver wow that's like 15 years away also I can't believe Nintendo started in 1889 when they started out as a playing card company, kids toy company, taxi company and now a video game company it's absolutely awesome.
@@thetruemarioandsonicfanboy Yeah, tell me about it. The last time they celebrated their 100th anniversary was back in 1989, near the end of the 1980s....And 15 years from now will be their 150th anniversary of the company's founding....Wild to think about.
Nintendo deserves this Museum and you can see the Joy in Miyamotos face when he gets to use everything. I'll probably make sure to give it a visit in the future
This made me shed tears of joy. Look how far that company has come, and how this absolute legend helped shape it to what it is today. This museum looks like a dream, and I wish I could go there.
@@jiovanysoltero923 I love that I've been into more than just the company as a gaming company. I've come to love playing Hanafuda because of them. I have an appreciation for literally the entire city of Kyoto for being the sum inspirational effort to produce The Legend of Zelda. I love they named a video game icon after the building landlord. It's the weird ephemera of Nintendo I love the most. I love the Famicom stripe carts. I love the red and gold of the controllers. I can't get enough.
Thank you for making this museum Nintendo. Please, I pray, keep your spirit and remain the company you are with the philosophy you have. One day, if lucky, I shall visit this special place and I look forward to tjis moment from the bottom of my heart. All the best for your next console!!!!
Nintendo: *creates the most competent family friendly games that are actually enjoyable* Also Nintendo: *sold rifles and glocks at some point for some reason*
They were one of the first form of arcade games. Very early "light guns" setup in old bowling alleys that had closed, that they renovated to become "indoor shooting galleries", that used fake guns. Back then, there was no laws against making toys that look exactly like real guns, so yeah.
I am a fan of museums and Nintendo so I really love this and I will for sure visit it one day. As a European I also love that there are also PAL games in the games exhibit. I also love how they made those interactive experiences as part of the museum, it feels really magical.
I can only imagine how nervous the workers must've been to be playing with Miyamoto-san. Like just imagine how your brain is running like "oh shoot i gotta be on my best behavior it's the absolute GOAT no one will believe me".
I hope that this museum will eventually have a section dedicated to all the video game music as an interactive archive: maybe even a "Music Maker" room based on the program from Mario Paint.
This is awesome! It's almost like someone heard my reservations about visiting Japan, worrying there wouldn't be enough that would interest me beyond shopping to make it worth the trip, and said, "I know just what ought to do the trick."
This is now on my bucket list. Thank you for making this happen Nintendo. You guys really didn’t have to be this creative but you did it anyway as you tend to do.
Don't know if it's just because it's still hot out of the oven, but this video having live chat replay on when the actual directs have those turned off is really funny EDIT: Oh there it goes

I visited Japan in 2014 and visited Nintendo headquarters. I knew there was nothing to do there, but wanted to visit the building as I've been a lifelong fan.
Security guards immediately rushed out to chase me away but my friend who spoke Japanese told the guards I just wanted to visit and take a photo with the sign - which I did and treasure to this day.
I wish this museum was open back then, finally a spot in Kyoto for fans to congregate 😊
Thank goodness ur friend was there :D
I did this way back in 2007 after Kotaku posted a vaguely worded article on how to find the building. No one was there to chase me off thankfully, but it was neat to see in person, even if it was just an outside of a building. Now I have an excuse to go back to Kyoto AND go see the building again (so they can direct me to the actual museum).
@@Cooingluigimario3894 It was a dream fulfilled to go to Japan and I'm forever grateful to my friend.
Honestly everyone watching this video should visit, Japan is a beautiful country!
@@internetperson8911 I wonder how many foreign fans have visited that building. I used Google Maps to locate it and also walked by the older HQ, but that building was completely fenced off so I took a picture of the logo on the building 😅
At least it was them and not the...Nintendo Ninjas O_O
the toads at the end were the best thing i never knew i needed
It’s unironically both hilarious and adorable to me!! 🥹😂
Caught me by surprise, perfect ending.
Kids are going to be making loud noises with these when they see it at the Nintendo Museum
13:11 for the people who want to listen to it in full glory.
Fr
I lived in Japan for FOUR YEARS and just moved recently. NOW is the time you decide to announce the place of my dreams?! 😭
rip 😔
time to move back
How wealthy are you
@@dangerousgrace7478 I’m in the military! 😊
I love that he hasn't lost his love for gaming. Watching him play the zapper game, the look of pure childlike joy on his face was so wholesome! I think after all this time most people likely would have turned too corporate to enjoy that, but that's what makes him unique!
I’m 41 now and have lived in Switzerland, Pakistan, and the US. Nintendo has been a part of my life at every stage, bringing me, my friends, and my family countless hours of joy and happiness. I can’t think of Nintendo as anything other than family. Thank you, Miyamoto-san, Iwata-san, Yokoi-san, Uemura-san, Aonuma-san, Yamauchi-san, Mr. Fils-Aimé, and everyone else who has made billions of children smile.
I hope this joy can be extended to underprivileged children in various parts of the world.
+chaivalla Don't forget Yamauchi-san. He set the tone for all of the others you mentioned to shine.
@@johnlucas1543 Yes, added to list.
Seeing two of the staff struggling with waving a giant Wiimote is hilarious!!!!
Also the only museum I know of with a shooting gallery and baseball pitcher. And those singing Toads are the icing on the cake
I've actually gone to real life baseball pitching places (thought expensive) and I've come across shooting galleries at carnivals and state fairs before, even one at the Spiral tower in Niagara Falls but that one was broken at the time. If you have ever played on rail shooters/carnival games on the WIi or the shooting game from Wii Play, this is right up your alley.
3:49 I love how the mario 2 section is completely blank
Nowadays kids have it so easy in life, having mushroom dispensing blocks.. I had to create rifts in the space-time continuum.
@@satzukaze And that's where Dr WD Gaster from Undertale and Deltarune fell through.
10:30 imagen working on this museum and have the honor to play mario with his creator, must be magical
Indeed. It just felt a little lifeless how they didn't even allowed the woman to have a voice in this video.
@@kevinkite3418 nah I don’t think they told her/them not to, she was probably just both excited and trying to remain respectful and not steal the attention.
@@cube4547 That and I imagine nervous lol I wouldn't want to be the one to mess up a jump for him
10:30 This in itself is history. Watching Miyamoto-san himself play Super Mario Bros is just something special.
@@MilkWasABadChoice17 It's like his son, imagine how proud he must've self.
He's pretty much the reason the whole museum exists.
He's one of those men that can say that he has fully achieved his dream in life.
This is basically the perfect life for him and I hope more people can get to feel like that when growing up, myself included
@@vittosphonecollection57289not that deep bruh
@@raulito837 For you maybe you just see it as a videogame, but for him it's like a credits sequence of his whole life
Adding this to the list of “Reasons Why I Want To Visit Japan” 📝
Same and nintendo world but I have never been on vaction to another country and I live in europe
I have visited Japan before the direct I have been to super Nintendo world
I visited the museum last wee. Fantastic day out. It brought back so many memories.
If Miyamoto standing menacingly with two lightgun-toting bodyguards doesn't become a meme, I will live in infinite despair for all eternity
SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!
"Wii are going to zap you to death."
@@legomarioboy08this made me laugh way too hard XD
When someone mentions emulation:
Same.
I have never seen a museum look this fun.
Then you haven't probably been to many museums.
Same. I want to go to this Nintendo museum.
it looks fun but it looks like part of Nintendo World. i wish this was more like a proper museum
Couldn’t agree more. I wish I didn’t have school, were rich and weren’t so far away, as I live in Spain. ☹️
I totally want to go there
It makes it so unique and captures how creative Nintendo is and was by the many diffrent ways they showcase things!
A beautiful historic time capsule!
the staffers struggling to wield the giant Wii Remotes is sending me
No comment let me fix that☺️
Miyamoto is a world treasure, and we're incredibly lucky to have him in our lifetime.
Indeed. I was lucky to start my gaming journey with the NES back in 1990 when I was just 3. 😌
Lived through all their home consoles.
Now I'm so busy with work life in my late 30s that I have a hard time touching my Nintendo consoles, let alone my Sony consoles. 😅😅😖
I almost cried watching this, the love and care put into this museum oozes through the screen
I’m beyond excited about this museum. The combination of interactive exhibits, historical displays, and giant controllers sounds like a dream come true. I can’t wait to visit and dive into Nintendo’s rich history and innovative experiences.
You're a big fan of Nintendo?
@@stripedrajang3571 Aren't we all.
It feels like I walked into a really excited person’s personal collection that the have been working on for years and they want to show me everything. It looks great
Respect the legacy of Nintendo and how far they've come.
The toads at the end making a major chord with the 9th and the 6th is amazing
I gotta take pictures with them cause they're adorable ❤️ and hilarious at the same time or should I say TOAD SELFIE 😁🤳🏾
It’s essentially just notes in the pentatonic scale there’s no need to categorize such a series of notes as a chord lol
Miyamoto is still a kid at heart, he was having the time of his life.
I love how happy Miyamoto is to show all of this off. His childlike sense of wonder really shines through.
I love how when Miyamoto was swinging the bat, the background music was the ocarina of Time mini game song
I can’t believe more people aren’t mentioning this!
same, i wish the oot ost played in my daily life
Miyamoto looks really great for his age. No disrespect. I'm being honest.👍
@@Billigoat21 just imagine when you’re doing your homework it plays the battle music because you’re battling your homework
it was pretty much. a classic zelda minigame come to life😂
Did not expect this museum to be very interactive. I love it!
I wish i could go and pay a visit.
Yeah! TBH, the attraction here look more fun than at Super Nintendo World.
Same here
Emphasis on "pay".
I never visit japan once but I always wanted to go to Japan as part of the vacation. Japan always gets the good stuff.
@@sonicgalaxy27 : "Japan always gets the good stuff."
They do!
Stuff like THIS is why Nintendo is KING!! 👑
Indeed. Innovation and Gimmick are the keys to fun! 👑
Nintendo all the way.
chill out
Yah wait until someone dares to show them a drawing of mario
Wrong. Sony is better than Nintendo by every margin by revolutionizing the gaming sphere.
8:50 I like how the Nintendo Zapper and Super Scope in the light gun shooting gallery use Splatoon like paint splotches to indicate where a shot hits, referencing how both have been made into weapons in Splatoon. Cool detail!
Nintendo will always be apart of who I am as a human being, and the fact that this museum will welcome others to become apart of its wonder and magic is truly what playing games is all about, what Nintendo is all about. It's amazingly beautiful.
Let's be real here: he IS Nintendo. They wouldn't have been a successful company without him. Every good series they have (possibly aside from Metroid) is because of him. He is MR. NINTENDO.
fr
They may have been successful, but surely not as successful!
@@RPGreg2600 Nah he literally created their video game division. Imagine no Mario, no Zelda, no Donkey Kong, etc. They wouldn't be making game consoles today without him.
I genuinely hope I get to go here one day. Maybe not right when it opens up but sometime in the future. It feels amazing to be a NINTENDO fan these days.
You'll probably never get the chance tbh
@@christianbell8347 Why be so negative for no reason man
@@b.k4957 Because his life turned out poor, gave up and assumes everyone else's lives sucks as much as theirs.
@@Devin11246 They were just being honest. One trip alone will probably cost thousands...
@@Key-Knight87 Not everyone lives paycheck to paycheck their entire life. Many people travel to other countries, you act like it’s a rare thing.
I love that it's not just a video game museum, not just a whole history of Nintendo, but also has a look into Japan itself. It's so cool!
Genuinely, that was one of the coolest museum tours. Heck, the coolest gaming museum I've seen. Absolutely love the non-game/game history and the interactive games. Definitely on my list of places to visit if i ever make it to Japan!
I really want to visit Japan now. This looks so cool, especially the giant controllers you can use to play games like Super Mario Bros. and Wii Sports Resort.
I love how Nintendo’s creative process goes into everything they touch. Playing games with a large controller made with 2 or more people in mind is such a genius idea for interactivity in this museum, considering each of Nintendo’s home consoles have their own hook that makes them stand out. Utilizing each system like this is such a clever way to pay homage to the company’s history of consoles. Praying the stateside version comes soon. 😭
Same! The only thing I'm sure they will need is to clean the giant controllers often
People at Nintendo basically just think “I wish I could do this” and make something that allows them to. I’m sure they thought “man, museums sure are boring”, and went from there lol. They don’t limit themselves and aren’t scared to break the standards, or even objects! as you can see in the baseball activity.
@@lightdarksoul2097 I didn’t even think about hand grease haha. That’s gonna be time consuming to clean up 😭
@@mileven3ggo3njoyer yeah but Japan way more than America is conscious of that kind of thing
I do think what they should include is a memorial for all of the staff and crew that at one point worked with Nintendo, hosted competitions with Nintendo, and many people both online and in real life whom made Gaming with Nintendo what it is today. Especially listing the photos of the presidents/CEOs of Nintendo from the very first one to the previous presidents will help people understand how the great leaders at Nintendo helped swim the tides for what would be an ever-changing rapid tech developing world that we can't imagine having it go this fast without some sort of origin thanks to electronic games of the 1940s and 1950s.
This is one of the most insane museum ideas ever, love to se every corner of Nintendo history shown in here.
Miyamoto’s friendly attitude just makes it so appealing to come visit, hope to visit soon!
Out of the respect for Nintendo's golden history and personal nostalgia, this is one reason that makes me wish I've lived in Japan. It just resonates so many happy memories I've had with family and friends.
I never visit japan once but I always wanted to go to Japan as part of the vacation. Japan always gets the good stuff.
You wouldn’t survive in Japan champ
Japan is not a good place to actually live, it's the kind of place you stay for a week, see the sights and have fun experiences and then leave.
Or so I've heard, I've always thought the same way as you.
@@RedTHedge For an American it's probably not a good place to live. A completely different culture to ours and different laws. For a Japanese person who lived there their entire life, it's normal to them. They are part of the culture and help make it.
@@MeeBacon While you see right and part of the reason would be culture shock, there are a lot of valid reasons not to be there. In fact most people that have told me or said publicly it's not the best place are Japanese people living in Japan. So I'd assume they're right since they actually live there.
That museum is a monument of dreams and happiness
No its the monument of paradise.
@@sonicgalaxy27 It can be both!
When I saw the big Wii remote I screamed “ITS A BIG WII REMOTE!!!!” This genuinely looks so cool, definitely need to visit Japan when I’m older
you deserve a million likes and visits, Nintendo
This is amazing! The fact they encourage people to play together, even in a museum, is exactly what Nintendo stands for! I bet Iwata would have loved this if was still here. Keep up the excellent work Nintendo, thank you for the years of fun.
Miyamoto is the only one that can show how good of a game designer he is while showing a museum lol
I love Nintendo and Miyamoto San’s enthusiasm. Truly a treasure
Nintendo is one of most important and iconic companies in the cultural history of humanity - a museum is 10000% appropriate
11:00 All we need is 2 speedrunners in here to see if we can get someone to beat SMB1 before the timer ends
I have grown up with Nintendo since i was a child , Nintendo feels like apart of my family ❤️
Wow the Nintendo museum looks absolutely amazing and also happy 135th anniversary to Nintendo since they first started in 1889.
Yep, 2039 will be Nintendo's 150th anniversary of the founding of the company, and it's 18 years older than the Hershey Company, but four years younger than the invention of Dr. Pepper in 1885.
@@SuperFlashDriver wow that's like 15 years away also I can't believe Nintendo started in 1889 when they started out as a playing card company, kids toy company, taxi company and now a video game company it's absolutely awesome.
@@thetruemarioandsonicfanboy Yeah, tell me about it. The last time they celebrated their 100th anniversary was back in 1989, near the end of the 1980s....And 15 years from now will be their 150th anniversary of the company's founding....Wild to think about.
@@SuperFlashDriver yes it is very wild indeed ✌🏻😎
@@thetruemarioandsonicfanboy Yyeeeepppp.
Nintendo deserves this Museum and you can see the Joy in Miyamotos face when he gets to use everything.
I'll probably make sure to give it a visit in the future
You can tell that Mr Miyamoto had a lot of fun making this video 😂
I would too, this museum looks amazing!
Definitely adding this place to the bucket list.
Agreed!
Say less!
I’ve always wanted a Museum Revolving around Nintendo’s History.
Well, now you have one.
This made me shed tears of joy. Look how far that company has come, and how this absolute legend helped shape it to what it is today. This museum looks like a dream, and I wish I could go there.
I guess they raided Scott the Woz's collection for this museum!
"Hey all Scott here wait why is nintendo at my door"
So those were theives from the mobile game episode
@@ZeroJumpeven they knew Zip-Lash blows lmao
but did they get the Wii loaded with WiiWare games
he was supposed to get robbed tomorrow...
The 135 year evolution of Nintendo, all in one museum. Now that’s HISTORY!
Edit: 109 likes in 3 under 3 hours?! Damn, I’m proud. :)
Just thinking about that “135 years” of Nintendo sinking in. I am glad to be alive to witness this historic moment with everyone.
@@jiovanysoltero923 Frfr. I’ve been a Nintendo guy since I was 7, when I got my GBA.
@@jiovanysoltero923 Same here dude. I can't believe all of us Nintendo fans and gamers made it this far to witness its masterpiece.
@@jiovanysoltero923 I love that I've been into more than just the company as a gaming company. I've come to love playing Hanafuda because of them. I have an appreciation for literally the entire city of Kyoto for being the sum inspirational effort to produce The Legend of Zelda. I love they named a video game icon after the building landlord. It's the weird ephemera of Nintendo I love the most. I love the Famicom stripe carts. I love the red and gold of the controllers. I can't get enough.
@@jiovanysoltero923 Crazy to think that over half of their history happened before videogames even existed
Thank you for making this museum Nintendo. Please, I pray, keep your spirit and remain the company you are with the philosophy you have. One day, if lucky, I shall visit this special place and I look forward to tjis moment from the bottom of my heart. All the best for your next console!!!!
They really made the Museum Direct worth a watch. This is something i would LOVE to visit.
Nintendo: *creates the most competent family friendly games that are actually enjoyable*
Also Nintendo: *sold rifles and glocks at some point for some reason*
And had Love hotels i think😌
They were one of the first form of arcade games. Very early "light guns" setup in old bowling alleys that had closed, that they renovated to become "indoor shooting galleries", that used fake guns. Back then, there was no laws against making toys that look exactly like real guns, so yeah.
Ends justified the means
And were protentially affiliated with the yakuza back when they were selling playing cards
Also a taxi service at one point.
I am a fan of museums and Nintendo so I really love this and I will for sure visit it one day.
As a European I also love that there are also PAL games in the games exhibit.
I also love how they made those interactive experiences as part of the museum, it feels really magical.
From the looks of it, there are definitely PAL versions of the NES games at least. :)
訪れた全世界の人が共通の思い出として世代を問わずに懐かしさと楽しさで笑顔になれる。こんな博物館は世界にここだけしか無いと思う。
13:15 BEAUTIFUL
Love you Toad! 😀🤗
Toads are the best obviously
@@ItsToadTime_Wiiu Obviously 💁🏻♂️. Especially Green Toads :)
@@RealJackHQ yeah! There's something about them even tho yellows my fav color green toads just seem cool
I can only imagine how nervous the workers must've been to be playing with Miyamoto-san. Like just imagine how your brain is running like "oh shoot i gotta be on my best behavior it's the absolute GOAT no one will believe me".
Imagine your the employee who was playing Mario with him, this man invented Mario imagine the embarrassment if you miss a single jump
Let's be honest, if you were playing against him in that shooting game you would let him win wouldn't you?!
9:16 meme potential.
Nintendo when rom sites exist
don't mess with the Nintendo Ninjas[TM]
It's so nice how he played with the museum staff. I might have to go to Japan to go to this museum, man!
I hope that this museum will eventually have a section dedicated to all the video game music as an interactive archive: maybe even a "Music Maker" room based on the program from Mario Paint.
I find it awesome how a small company from Japan conquerred the world through fun and technology.
Steve jobs the only thing I fear is nintendo
9:55 imagine if 3 insane people speedran Super Mario 64 here
I was in Japan last month and I wish I got to stay longer so I can experience this museum. I have to go back there soon.
The way Miyamoto was screaming while shooting the "Zapper" was hilarious!
One could practically hear an excited squeal in his voice.
8:30 The last thing you see after creating a fan mod for a Nintendo game.
Lol, when you port Super Mario 64 on a smart fridge:
8:30 We need to turn it into a meme
@@vittosphonecollection57289 I've heard of people who've played Doom games on those fridges, or even calculators!
Those singing toads at the end restore my will to live!
"Expensive therapists hate this one trick!"
Nintendo pulling the most interactive museum I’ve ever seen. They truly are gamer in their heart.
Amazing
I can’t wait to go to Japan one day
Forget super Nintendo world I want to go here!
Start saving up for plane tickets. Flights to Japan are not cheap.
Why noth BOTH 🤩🤩
Nostalgia is a powerful thing. I can't wait to take a trip there and explore the museum. Well played, Nintendo.
This is awesome! It's almost like someone heard my reservations about visiting Japan, worrying there wouldn't be enough that would interest me beyond shopping to make it worth the trip, and said, "I know just what ought to do the trick."
This is now on my bucket list. Thank you for making this happen Nintendo. You guys really didn’t have to be this creative but you did it anyway as you tend to do.
Don't know if it's just because it's still hot out of the oven, but this video having live chat replay on when the actual directs have those turned off is really funny
EDIT: Oh there it goes
Nintendo understood what the word " FUN " means .. you can see it in their consoles & games, and now in a Museum
Thanks to Nintendo, I had a great time with my family in the living room.
