What People Are Saying About Nintendo World Store
Featured Review

In Short – Anyone stepping into this high-tech wonderland can't help but notice the wild-eyed children running around, shouting excitedly as they crowd around any one of the many flat-screen televisions set up around the store. White, pod-like chairs surround a circular table where focused gamers fiddle with the tiny Nintendo DS. Upstairs, clusters of TVs each equipped with the Wii invite group play. When enthusiastic gamers actually take a game break, they can find plenty of merchandise for sale including Nintendo consoles, portable systems, games, accessories, T-shirts and more.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Check out the small collection of Nintendo artifacts in the center of the second floor, where you will find the very first products the company ever created, a still-working damaged Gameboy from the Gulf War, and other Nintendo rarities.
- Know Before You Go:
- Items can be returned for a full refund within 30 days of purchase, provided you keep the original receipt.

Playing with Power!
by timx13
I needed to go to the Nintendo World store to pick up a gift for a friend, who is a big Nintendo DS fan. I could have just ordered what I wanted on-line, but I’ve always wanted to check out the Nintendo Store, so I made the trip. It was awesome! I admit, I’m a gamer, but I don’t have any Nintendo products...this needs to change! The store was nicely laid out and clean--which doesn't happen too often in a place where you can demo the games and game systems, usually there’s a filthy broken controller hanging off of a display case, with a broken game looping on a tv screen. Not at the Nintendo store though, everything worked, the staff was really nice and smiley, but not in a creepy way.
I also loved the museum part of the store; looking at all of the original Nintendo stuff made me nostalgic, and also realize how cool Nintendo always was. They’ve always tried to take video games and make them more accessible to people who may not play video games. Great stuff, great store, great experience. I’d recommend this to anyone who just wants to experience something new.

Mad Fun
by DarWallace
I love games of all kinds, so it wasn’t surprising that I found myself in the Nintendo World Store. But what did surprise me was that it was sooo much fun. I actually just ducked in there to get a copy of the Mario Sports Mix for my nephew, and left with a Nintendo 3D for myself. The store was super sleek, kind of like being in a video game, and mad fun. I checked out demos of the newest games at stations sporting large flat screen TV’s.
But that’s not all I took a tour of the Nintendo museum, and checked out the “gear” they were selling, and walked away with a few things. The staff was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive, being totally ok with my endless sampling of the games. I could have spent hours there but I had to run back to work, but I’ll be back again with my nephew but I’m sure it will cost me.
