Nintendo Museum Opens in Uji, Kyoto

Nintendo is opening a new museum on October 2nd in Uji, Kyoto, at the site of its former playing card factory and repair center.

It features iconic products like the NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, and Wii, as well as lesser-known items like the 'Mamaberica' baby stroller and the 'Copilas' printer.
