Nintendo used one of its old card manufacturing plants in Uji, Kyoto, as the museum’s official premises. Here, the companycreated its legendary Hanafuda cards, but also traditional playing cards.

In one area of the museum, you’ll find several rooms in a row where you’re able to try the company’s Ultra Machine, a ball pitcher from back in the day.
Not to mention, we are especially psyched about the section whereyou can shoot light guns. Here, you’re able to test your aiming prowess with up to 12 other players as you take on the hordes ofSuper Mariomonsters.
Nintendo’s Legacy On Display
In the Nintendo Museum, you can see all the company’s consoles throughout the years. They even showcase different game system versions for various regions.
We especially liked the area where you can see how your favorite series, such as Super Mario andDonkey Kong, evolved over the years.
While visiting the museum, you canrevisit the classic Super Mario on a grossly oversized controller. Games played on gigantic Wii controllers are even more hilarious as it takes two people to manage them.
All in all, the museum cleverly blends education with fun. So, the next time you’re in Kyoto, make sure to check out Nijo Castle, Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the Nintendo Museum.
