New Nintendo Store Opening in San Francisco

Nintendo announced it will open a new US store in San Francisco, California, which will appropriately enough be called Nintendo San Francisco. There’s no exact location noted for it yet beyond Union Square, but the company said people can expect to see it in 2025.

This is one of multiple Nintendo stores for people in the US. There is already a physical location in New York City. It’s often home to special events or displays like the Gulf War Game Boy. The My Nintendo Store is open online for direct purchases from the company. There is also an official Amazon storefront with more merchandise.

By checking the Nintendo New York social media account, we can get a better idea of what to expect from the San Francisco location. For example, the company announced a Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door launch event. That will take place on May 25, 2024, with people able to attend and get art cards between 11am ET and 2pm ET. It features a gaming wall with demos. It also noted the physical storefront sells tie-in merchandise like the Animal Crossing Isabelle’s House Visit Lego set, which you can find at other retailers or exclusive items like shirts.

Nintendo San Francisco will open in 2025.
