Nintendo Tokyo, Nintendo's first ever dedicated shop in Japan, opens

Nov 23 (soranews24.com) - A massive photo safari of the treasure trove of amazing stuff waiting at Nintendo’s brand-new Shibuya destination store!

The opening of Shibuya Parco, the shopping complex that houses Nintendo Tokyo, attracted massive crowds, with more than a half-dozen of the more popular shops having their own entrance lines in which people started queuing up well before the doors opened at 10 a.m.

Despite being its first dedicated shop in its home country, Nintendo has not come soft in its merchandising mix. There’s an immense catalog of brand-new, never-before-offered stuff in the shop, much of which won’t be available anywhere else in the world.
