Nintendo reveals exclusive Animal Crossing items set for Tokyo store

Nintendo has revealed more exclusive items set for sale at its new Tokyo store, which will open on November 22.

The Shibuya-based shop will sell exclusive items based on The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing series, as well as a special Mario x Pokémon line, in collaboration with the nearby Shibuya Pokémon Center.

Customers will also be able to experience Nintendo Switch software at the store including Ring Fit Adventure, Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Nintendo will hold a pre-opening event in the two days before the ‘grand’ opening, with a total of 250 groups of 500 people set to be invited to visit the store during this period. Attendees will be picked via lottery and can apply on the store’s website.

Tokyo is Nintendo’s second flagship store, following 2005’s opening of Nintendo New York.

The Super Nintendo World theme park at Universal Studios Japan will open in spring 2020, in time for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Following the Japan opening, Super Nintendo World is scheduled to come to Universal’s Orlando, Hollywood and Singapore parks, although a timeline for openings outside of Japan hasn’t been announced.

Nintendo announced its latest sales numbers on Thursday, revealing that the new Switch Lite console has sold more than 2 million units.
