The Nintendo Museum opened up yesterday, and tickets are randomly picked lottery style. I honestly can't tell if they did this out of greed or they knew that this place would be extremely crowded as there are no plans for one outside of Japan.
Honestly, other than being in a former Nintendo factory, this place doesn't seem special at all. It's no different to a Video Game Museum in Texas that I've been to. In fact, I think they copied the whole "play retro games with giant controllers" from the giant Pong console in that museum.

@berkberkman I always loved wood-paneled wall basements. I wish I had one growing up. Technically, I did, but they walls have always been painted over.
I went to that museum back in 2016. It was nice, but it was filled with information I already knew. The only souvenir I bought from there was a shitty, USB, NES gamepad because it was the only thing I could afford and I thought I could use it for gamedev, but the D-pad is registered as an analog stick on most devices, for whatever reason, which makes it extremely difficult to use or program for.
