Japan’s First Official Nintendo Store To Open Its Doors This Coming November

With a strong legacy over the years, Nintendo certainly is Japan’s pride, carving out a reputation set in prestige, consumer trust, and quality. It’s more than apt, then, that the industry giant is finally getting its very own, first-ever store in Tokyo, which is currently slated for launch on November 22, 2019.

Taking on the official name of Nintendo Tokyo, the store will be housed inside the highly-anticipated, brand-new Shibuya Parco shopping centre on the sixth floor. The location proves to be a paradise for geeks, lined with other game/anime-related shops, and an all-new Pokémon Centre that carries adorable pixel art merchandise.
