Nintendo has announced that the Nintendo Museum will open on October 2nd.
Based in Kyoto, the museum was built on the site of the original factory where Nintendo produced Hanafuda and playing cards.
In a 10-minute video hosted by Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo showed the interior of the museum for the first time.
The second floor of the museum displays the products Nintendo has released since its inception, with a focus primarily on video game systems and games.
One of the exhibits shown in the video is a large display based on Famicom and NES with the boxes full of games and accessories for every title released by Nintendo in every region.
Other sections show the development of the Mario and Zelda series as well as the Mario questions block.
Another area will showcase some of Nintendo's other non-video game products, such as a stroller, board games, remote-controlled cars and light guns.
Miyamoto then goes to the first floor of the museum, where there is a huge screen on the floor. Visitors can use a smart device to play the traditional card game Hyakunin Isshu.
There are a total of eight interactive experiences on the first floor. Visitors receive a pass with digital coins that they can use for these experiences.
One of these experiences allows visitors to try out the Ultra Machine, an early baseball throwing machine developed by Nintendo in the 1960s. Visitors enter a recreation of a living room and must attempt to hit targets with the balls.
Another experience reimagines Nintendo's 1970s laser clay shooting ranges in a more modern version, with visitors using the NES Zapper and Super Famicom Super Scope to shoot at targets on a giant screen.
A third experience lets players try out classic Nintendo games with giant controllers designed for two-player play together, such as a giant Famicom controller, a Wii Remote, and a Wii Fit Board.
“The Nintendo Museum is a place where you can learn more about our commitment to creating experiences that focus on play and creativity – two things that are essential to Nintendo,” said Miyamoto.
“We hope to share this feeling with you when you visit the museum.”
