First ever Nintendo Tokyo Store Grand Opening!

Wait, what do you mean this is the first Nintendo store in Japan?! 

Japan’s most-valued company finally got its very first permanent home in Shibuya, Tokyo and we just had to check it out for ourselves.

The grand opening took place on November 22 at 10:00 am. The JC team arrived on opening day around 7:30am underestimating the lines two and a half hours before the doors opened.

Lines on lines on lines!

The last half hour was full of gamer fanatics pushing and shoving one another to get to the door the closest. Crowd control was managed by allowing smaller groups to enter the building before the scheduled opening.

As you can see, we got snuggly with strangers real fast.

The Nintendo Store is the first thing you see once you reach the top of the 6th-floor escalator. The classic Nintendo red glowed around the entire shop giving any Nintendo fan chills.

The store was stocked with merchandise including plushies, clothing, keychains, bags, Nintendo switches, games, and even crackers! Seriously, whatever Nintendo thing you’re looking for, they have.

How hilariously cute are these Mario-themed purses, bags and wallets?!
