The Nintendo Museum is finally opening this year and now that Nintendo has given us a preview in the latest Direct broadcast, we've put together this gallery capturing its retro history. As previously revealed, the museum is built on the site of Nintendo's original factory (the Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant) where it made Hanfuda and playing cards. Quality checks also happened at this location during the Famicom era.
Here's what you can expect when you walk in on the second floor - Nintendo products from past to present. It's mostly focused on Nintendo's video game history here, and there are even giant controllers hanging from the roof! Here's a look at the Famicom exhibit in this section. There are screens above playing the games, and if you listen closely, you can hear the sound coming from each title thanks to the directional speakers.
As mentioned, all of Nintendo's history is on display and this includes an exhibit where you can see an evolution of products played by moving your body. Some other areas show the transformation of the '? Block' from Super Mario, as well as how game graphics have developed over the years. One other area features Nintendo products from the era before the company made games.
In the bottom right of the images below you can see a diazo copy machine called a Copilas. And there's a Mamaberica - aka a baby stroller, alongside a look at board games and various other "family-friendly" toys. A light gun is also on display.
