This autumn, I can hardly wait to step into the Nintendo Museum in Japan! Starting September 3rd, they’re unveiling an art gallery packed with a diverse array of game artwork from their five-decade journey in the video game industry. Expect to see captivating character illustrations and intriguing concept art that have shaped Nintendo’s iconic games throughout history.
On Wednesday, the 3rd of September, the Art Gallery is set to debut on the second floor of the Nintendo Museum Exhibition Building. Here, guests will have the opportunity to delve into an extensive collection of game-related artwork, featuring both character sketches and initial design concepts.

The announcement didn’t provide much information about the type or era of the art pieces to be displayed in the gallery, nor did it specify how deep into history they would go. While Nintendo gained fame in the early ’80s with arcade hits such as Donkey Kong, their initial venture into gaming occurred in the early ’70s through lightgun games. Since 1985, when the Nintendo Entertainment System was launched in North America, Nintendo has consistently played a significant role in the gaming industry.
At the Nintendo Museum, you’ll find displays that pay tribute to Nintendo’s video game heritage, along with various mini-games that guests are permitted to enjoy. During TopMob’s trip in 2024, Dan Ryckert pointed out that unlike conventional museums, it features minimal text, descriptions, signs, and similar elements. However, he particularly enjoyed the room showcasing fully operational giant controllers from Famicom, SNES, N64, and Wii Remotes.
At the Nintendo Museum, you’ll find a wide variety of unique merchandise that’s only available there. Due to global interest, the museum has set purchase limits on these items to prevent resellers from stockpiling them. Visitors still need to book tickets in advance, and if you want to modify your reservation for September, Nintendo advises cancelling your old booking and reapplying by the end of June.
