Kyoto October 2nd 2024, late at night

On October 2nd 2024 the Nintendo Museum opened in Kyoto, Japan.

I was lucky to visit that first day.

Here's what I posted on Twitter that night:

It is after midnight here in Kyoto, and I finally found some time to process the (opening) day at the Nintendo Museum.

It is too early for a full report and review, but I give you 10 things that gave me joy today, and 2 things that can be improved (imo).

Good thing number 1: Nintendo!

This may be a bit obvious, but the Nintendo Museum is a Museum about Nintendo. Only Nintendo. The entire museum!

Good thing number 2: The Nintendo community!

We met so many cool, friendly and positive people today. As a place for this group of like-minded folks to meet each other, it is awesome.

Good thing number 3: the vintage games and toys collection on display!

For me very important, and I must admit I was a bit worried about this after the Nintendo Direct, but the museum did not disappoint at all in this department; it surpassed expectations.
