Nintendo will open its San Francisco store on May 15, it has announced.
Nintendo San Francisco is the second official Nintendo store in the United States, and follows the hugely popular New York location, which was formerly known as the Nintendo World Store, but closed down for renovations and rebranding as Nintendo NY before reopening in 2016.
The San Francisco store is located in Union Square at 331 Powell Street. Here’s what Nintendo had to say:
In addition to game systems and games, Nintendo San Francisco will offer a unique shopping experience filled with Nintendo’s characters, worlds and exclusive products including accessories, apparel, home goods and souvenirs available only at this location.
Reservations will be required to attend the grand opening (Nintendo said more details are coming soon), but it also announced the My Nintendo x Nintendo San Francisco Sweepstakes, which gives those who enter a chance to win a trip to the grand opening.
You and up to two guests can experience the city during a three-night, four-day trip and receive a tour of the new store during the Nintendo San Francisco launch event, Nintendo said.
The grand opening in May follows Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct in April, and will surely be packed with Switch 2-related products eventually.
