Nintendo is going to hold another direct meeting, but this time it is not to introduce games or new consoles, but to introduce the Nintendo Museum. Nintendo officially announced that it will broadcast the "Nintendo Museum Direct" at 7 am on August 20, 2024, which will last about 10 minutes. This video will lead global players on a journey through time and space, and visit the Nintendo Museum, which is scheduled to open in the ancient capital of Kyoto, Japan in the fall of 2024, in advance, and introduce some of the facilities in the museum.

Visitors will have the opportunity to see the glorious journey from the iconic red and white machine to the latest generation of Switch games, and feel the unknown stories and creative sparks behind each classic game. In addition, the museum will also collect and display precious documents and physical objects from the development history of Nintendo, providing fans with an excellent opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the brand culture.

Nintendo officials have made it clear that the focus of this direct meeting is not on the direct release of the Switch's successor model or new games, but on the preview and sharing of museum content.

The Nintendo Museum was originally named "Nintendo Art Museum" and was later officially named. It is located at the former site of Nintendo's Uji Kokura Factory in Uji City, Kyoto, Japan. The factory was built in 1969 and was originally used to manufacture playing cards and hanafuda. It was later renovated and became a customer service center for product repairs, but it was closed in 2016 and has not been used since then. In 2021, Nintendo announced that it would transform the factory into a museum.

It is reported that the Nintendo Museum will display various Nintendo products throughout Nintendo's history and become the first building to permanently display Nintendo's past history.

The Nintendo Museum will open in the fall of 2024. A cap-shaped block with a big question mark on the roof of the "Nintendo Museum" is also drawn, which is a game element from Nintendo's classic work "Mario". We will be able to see more about the interior settings of this museum at this paper meeting.




This is not the first time that Nintendo has renovated its properties. Previously, the former Nintendo headquarters building in Kyoto, Japan was renovated and opened to the public as the Marufukuro Hotel.
