Nintendo Museum Direct – August 19

This special livestream will be the first time gamers get to see the upcoming Nintendo Museum, which is scheduled to open in fall 2024 in Kyoto, Japan. Previously, would-be attendees have gotten to see renderings of the project along with some aerial shots of the construction site. But now, we’ll be getting an actual tour of the building.

The Nintendo Museum is set to be a place that houses the histories of Nintendo, including a wide variety of the company’s products. The livestream press release notes that there will be no game announcements or mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during the livestream, so viewers should measure their expectations for what will be on show here.
Recently, Nintendo reported its Q1 2025 results, which did see some drops in software and hardware sales year-on-year. The context of this drop is that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom released last year, which Nintendo specifically called out in the reports.
With the Nintendo Museum set to open this year, it’s an exciting time for Nintendo fans. Be sure to stay tuned to Shacknews as we bring you the latest on Nintendo. You can see more about the company’s earnings over on our NTDOY page.
