Nintendo New York
Nintendo New York (previously known as Nintendo World and Pokémon Center New York) is the flagship specialty store of video game corporation Nintendo. Located in 10 Rockefeller Plaza, at Rockefeller Center in New York City, the two-story, 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) store opened on May 14, 2005.
The two-floor store sells a wide variety of Nintendo video games and merchandise, including apparel, hardware, and accessories that are exclusive to the store, such as Japanese Mario character plushies, and special guides to a wide variety of Nintendo games. The first floor is normally used for general Nintendo merchandise, while Pokémon merchandise is situated in a dedicated section on the second floor.
The second floor features many kiosks with various Nintendo Switch games running, allowing anyone to play. The second floor also features a small museum featuring past Nintendo game systems and peripherals. Notable items include the Power Glove, an original Nintendo Entertainment System, and a Nintendo Famicom from Japan.
Nintendo New York regularly holds tournaments and shows for new games, giving early releases and prizes to winners. In addition, they have held screenings for multiple official Nintendo broadcasts including Nintendo Directs.
On November 1, 2001, Pokémon USA, Inc. announced the opening of Pokémon Center New York on November 16. The two-story, 13,000-square-foot (1,200 m2) would combine a functioning retail store with various interactive facilities, including an "Ultra Pokédex" and a Poké Ball prop that would engush fog and light effects. Game Boy Color systems on the second floor would allow attendees to try out various Pokémon games alongside receiving exclusive Pokémon for their games. Exclusive store items included the Pokémon Mini handheld console. The store was promoted as being the only physical space in the United States dedicated to the franchise.
In 2004, a message posted on the store's website announced that it would close on January 19, 2005, and reopen in the spring with a wider range of Pokémon items alongside products based on other Nintendo franchises.
On April 6, 2005, it was announced that the newly-refurbished store would become Nintendo World, and would specialize in all Nintendo franchises aside from just Pokémon, although the franchise would still have a major presence in the store on its second floor. The store reopened with a launch party on May 14.
On September 25, 2005, developer Shigeru Miyamoto visited the Nintendo World store to commemorate the release of Nintendogs and the 20th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.
