Today, Nintendo unveiled its new museum to the media, showcasing iconic video games that have captivated fans for decades. Ahead of its official opening next week, the museum offered visitors a sneak peek, including interactive experiences like playing games with giant controllers. The Nintendo Museum will open on 2 October in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture. The museum features nostalgic video game consoles like the Family Computer (known as the Nintendo Entertainment System outside of Japan) and Nintendo DS, along with classic game software packages.

I fell like Nintendo is already overrated. This is the icing on the cupcake right here.
 
We used to own a Sega Genesis. I always did like the Final Fantasy games, though. Most of my friends had various Nintendo systems, and I have to admit that they were fun to play.

That picture of the people walking around is interesting. The pictures they are walking on are karuta, or apparently uta-garuta (just learned this way to say it today), which each have a poem from Hyakunin-Isshuu. I wonder how that's related to Nintendo?
