It may come as a surprise, but Nintendo have announced that they will be opening their first Nintendo Official Store in Japan. New York has had it’s own official Store for years, originally called Nintendo World Store which was changed to Nintendo NY Store on February 19th, 2016. The Nintendo Tokyo Official Store is scheduled to open its doors in later this year in Fall 2019. It will be part of the SHIBUYA PARCO (Tentative Name) Building which will also open on the same day.

We have the official press release below.
