Nintendo is excited to announce the grand opening of its second official store in the United States, located in San Francisco's Union Square at 331 Powell Street. The launch on May 15 marks a significant expansion for the gaming giant, following the success of their renowned store in New York, previously known as the Nintendo World Store. The New York location underwent renovations and rebranding to become Nintendo NY, reopening in 2016 to continue serving fans with a fresh new look.
IGN had the privilege of visiting the new San Francisco store to explore what Nintendo has in store for its customers. Additionally, we had the opportunity to sit down with Doug Bowser, President of Nintendo of America, to discuss the strategic decision behind opening their first West Coast store at this time.
Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser is gearing up for the much-anticipated launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, set for June 5. During our interview, we delved into several key topics with Bowser, including the availability of the Switch 2 in the U.S. at launch and beyond, as well as the controversial Game-Key Cards and other exciting developments.
