We say “Wii” to this news! On Wednesday, video game company Nintendo opened a museum in Kyoto, Japan. The exhibition presents the history of the company, founded in 1889, which initially manufactured playing cards. We also find all its consoles (like the Wii and the GameCube) and its games there. Even the prototypes that were never sold! Other attractions include a giant video game that visitors can play, created especially for the museum. Everywhere in the building, we come across Nintendo’s most famous characters, including Toad, who you can see in this photo. It’s a bit like entering the brain of Super Mario’s “dad”, Shigeru Miyamoto! The museum is already VERY popular.
