The Nintendo Museum has been delighting fans for years. On March 3, 2017, the gaming world received an amazing gift that has been our entertainment, a place of solace away from the real world, and our peace. The Nintendo Switch handheld console entered our homes when we needed it the most. Since then, we have enjoyed an array of amazing games from RPGs, FPSs, cozy, sports, action, and adventure genres. For many decades, the Nintendo Museum has displayed past, current, and future consoles, toys, and more. This year, with the arrival of the Switch 2 (hopefully), it seems fitting for it to be on full display as a future classic.
Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo hosted their Direct and Treehouse Presentations this year in March and April, releasing new information about the Switch 2, including its flagship launch game, Mario Kart World. The new Joy Cons will connect magnetically to the console, and the new GameChat feature will enhance gameplay with friends and family. While fans still have many questions about the Switch 2, we know when we will be able to have our hands on our own.
Nintendo Museum Adds Switch 2 Exhibit
Nintendo has recently made room for visitors to see the new Switch 2 in the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan. The museum will host visitors of a hands-off Switch 2 exhibit. The rest of us in the world have to wait until videos of the locals taking us to the museum vicariously through them. It has a new, sleek design, a larger screen, access to past GameCube games, and more.
If possible, those who visit the museum will have a slight competitive advantage over the rest of us. Early access to seeing the console, their button mapping game plans, and seeing it in real time is an experience to remember forever (lucky you)! The historic museum holds multigenerational displays of video games, toys, and more.
Final Thoughts
As the Switch 2 looms in the minds of gamers all around the world right now, some will get to see it in person soon. What are your thoughts about this? Is it too soon for the Switch 2 to already be in the Nintendo Museum, and it is not even released yet? If you live in Kyoto, Japan, have you seen the Switch 2 at the Nintendo Museum?
If so, what are your thoughts about it so far? Should Nintendo expand its museum across the world or keep it solely where it is? To those who live in Kyoto, Japan, or are visiting the Nintendo Museum in person, don’t be gatekeepers; let us in on what you experience!
