It later expanded into producing handheld electronic games. The museum will feature exhibits on the company’s history, including its early days, its rise to prominence with the release of the Game Boy, and its current status as a global leader in the gaming industry. Visitors will be able to see original prototypes of iconic games, such as Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, as well as learn about the company’s innovative technologies and business strategies. The museum will also highlight Nintendo’s commitment to creating immersive gaming experiences for players of all ages.
The museum is a collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It is a part of the American Card Game Heritage Project, which aims to preserve the history and culture of card games. The museum showcases the evolution of card games from ancient times to the present day, featuring exhibits on different types of cards, card games, and their cultural significance.
The museum’s interactive exhibits, including the game, are designed to engage visitors of all ages and provide a unique way to experience the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch, since its launch in March 2017, has become one of the most popular gaming consoles in the world, boasting an impressive install base of over 140 million units. Despite its massive success, the sales of the console have been slowing down, indicating a potential shift in the gaming industry’s dynamics.
