It’s official, the Nintendo Museum opens in October 2024

I hope they have an entire Nintendo Direct exhibit focusing on Mr. Iwata and some of his stuff, like the L-cap he wore in the year of Luigi Direct 2013. Iwata’s legacy deserves to live on forever. Just give me a whole room full of Nintendo Direct memorabilia and other products shown in Nintendo promo videos like Nonspecific Action Figure lol.

Maybe there could even be a gallery of photo portraits of some of Nintendo’s senior staff – like when you go to a hospital and all the doctors’ pictures are framed on the wall. That would be a good way to introduce us to new employees that we don’t know that well yet. Maybe everyone could get a little plaque recognizing their contribution to the company.

I don’t know if this is necessarily a Japanese thing, but a room where you can browse a complete collection of old Nintendo Power magazines would be great. Maybe they have all the copies in a sealed display case, but they have a big interactive screen where you can see high-resolution scans of every page of every issue organized by month.

What they didn’t show, but which I think is ABSOLUTELY necessary, are hardware prototype designs, as well as a section dedicated to concept art and other beta elements that were scrapped for one reason or another.

The more I think about it, the more ideas I come up with that they could do. They could save some of their old E3 booth displays and put them in the museum, like the ones from BotW, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Smash Ultimate, as well as the Animal Crossing display they had back at PAX.

Maybe they can even do a bedroom exhibition where you and your partner can enjoy a magical stay in one of their love hotels — **gets shot**
