Miyamoto Says There Are No Plans To Expand Nintendo Museum To Other Locations

In a few weeks time, Nintendo will be opening a Nintendo Museum in Kyoto Japan, housing numerous exhibits chronicling the history of the company from toys to videogames.

In an interview shared by Game Watch, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto answered various questions about the museum’s conception and future. When asked about whether there will be more Nintendo Museum locations popping up elsewhere, Miyamoto said they had “no intention” of doing so, stating that the main goal of the museum was to educate employees and the public about the company’s history and legacy, rather than serve as a business venture.

This was not created as a business project, but rather to help Nintendo employees understand Nintendo better, and to help the general public learn more about Nintendo. So we have no intention of expanding it to other locations. If anything, we are thinking about how it can be developed further within this museum.

For example, I’ve been calling this interview room an ‘art gallery,’ and it’s going to be a place where you can see things like Mario’s drawings, topographical sketches, and illustrations from Splatoon and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

In the future, if we have more visual works, I’d like to be able to show them somewhere. So I’d like to be able to keep up with Nintendo’s developments.

The Nintendo Museum opens on October 2nd 2024.
