After launching Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan, Nintendo is now working on plans for a museum called Nintendo Gallery.
Nintendo plans to repurpose an old factory building (Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant) and its surrounding land in Uji, Kyoto. The attraction will exhibit beloved Nintendo gaming products.
The company said in a statement: “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 Ogura 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.”
The Nintendo Gallery, where Nintendo’s historical products will be showcased, an exhibits and experiences will be available, is expected to be completed by March 2024.
“We want to expand our video game characters to a variety of settings – not just in games, all while keeping their value,” said Nintendo game developer Shigeru Miyamoto. “In other words, we’ll be collaborating with various other companies.”
