Following the launch of Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan, Nintendo is planning to open a museum known as the Nintendo Gallery in the city of Uji, Japan in the spring of 2024.
Plans are in motion for Nintendo to repurpose an old factory building and the land it sits on in Uji in the Kyoto province. The old factory is known as the Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant and was built in 1969. It was designed to make playing cards and act as a customer service centre for the repair of Nintendo products.
The Nintendo Gallery will feature much-loved Nintendo gaming products from the past. Guest experiences are also planned for the site.
In a statement, the company said: “Nintendo has been discussing the possibility of building a gallery, as a way to share Nintendo’s product development history and philosophy with the public.
“To this end, the Nintendo Uji Oguru Plant will be renovated to accommodate the gallery, a decision reached after taking consideration of the city of Uji’s plan of redeveloping the nearby Ogura Station area.”
