As you may know, Nintendo has been working on a museum in Kyoto (Nintendo’s hometown) for quite some time, without saying anything about when it will open. Although we also do not have a premiere date to offer yet, the company now says that work on the building is complete, and that the museum will open its doors in the fall.
During today’s financial report, this was revealed as “Examples of initiatives to expand the number of people who have access to Nintendo IP”but they also make it clear that they want to get better at expanding their brands to reach people who have otherwise had difficulty connecting with their characters, writing:
“Going forward, we will continue to create touchpoints with consumers by promoting various initiatives that use Nintendo IP in a wide range of fields.”
The latter includes the upcoming The Super Mario Bros. The Movie sequel, The Legend of Zelda movie and several Super Nintendo Land parks (with existing parks to be expanded with Donkey Kong Country).
Basically, there will be even more Nintendo in the future. But having said that, how eager are you to visit the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto?
