Nintendo Museum: Before There Were Video Games

Back before Nintendo made video games, it made hana fuda cards. But hana fuda is boring, so after that, it did cool stuff. Stuff like Lego-thingies, releasing Twister in Japan, creating fake whiskey bottles you could shoot and guns, lots of plastic guns. Old school Nintendo, big gun freak. Brian Ashcraft

Hey witzboid, its at the Osaka Hankyu Deptartment store on the 7th floor past all the kimono stalls and random food vendors.

I went on the 2nd day to buy that limited mario kart shirt... sold out. I asked the sales rep if they would be selling it on the website, and he seemed to indicate a negative.

No joy =(

@SkyBison: Cheers mate! Silly me I just noticed Osaka in the read more tags too.

I really want to go up there, but takin the shinkansen to and from tokyo is gonna kill my budget.

My better half will be waiting with a frying pan also if I do use $$$ just to check out some groovin nintendo exhibit.

Awesome display, I wish I could attend. Especially for all of the pre-gaming toys they had on display. I like the hanafuda displays too, I actually have the Napoleon Hanafuda deck featured in DSCF8453.JPG.
