San Francisco Nintendo Store Introduces Japanese-Exclusive Switch Service

Sure, let me give it a whirl:

—

Alright, imagine this: So, San Francisco is getting its very own Nintendo Store. I know, right? Finally! And, hold on to your hats, they’re offering Switch OLED customization! Yeah, something only Japan was cool enough to have till now. Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto — they’ve been flaunting it, while New York’s Nintendo store — like, seriously, c’mon? — hasn’t caught on yet.

Nintendo’s out there doing its thing, not just in your pocket with a Switch or a phone. May 15th is the grand opening day! Plus, they’re teaming up with Universal for theme parks in Japan and the US. Oh, and have you seen the Super Mario Bros. Movie? Crushed it! Sequels in the pipeline and a Zelda movie too — fingers crossed it’s epic.

Over on the West Coast, folks are buzzing about this first-in-the-nation Nintendo Store outside the Big Apple. And here’s the kicker — if you’re an OLED buyer, it’s your lucky day! They’re letting you mix n’ match controller colors, and let’s talk wrist straps and docks too — black or white? Decisions, decisions. It’s like DIY crafting but for your game console. No extra charge, just pick your colors, and bam — they piece it together for you in-store the same day. Sweet deal, no?

So, if you’re cruising by the store, get ready for exclusive merch. I’m talking miniatures of Nintendo characters — Link, Mario, Splatoon’s Inkling Girl — all tiny and collectible. But hey, heads-up: you gotta reserve a spot. Otherwise, it’s just gonna be a human flood wave crashing in on day one. Sorta like trying to snag that last-minute concert ticket — you know the struggle.

Still, there’s this mystery: will the new Switch 2 get the same level of custom love? Or not? Time will tell. But if you’re itching for a fresh OLED or can’t wait for that mythical Switch 2, a trip to San Fran’s new geek mecca might just be in order. Pack your bags, and maybe your patience!

So yeah, let’s just sit with that for a bit.
