Viberum Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) So on January 19th, Nintendo World will be closing its doors for a mass renovation. The store will be closed for AN ENTIRE MONTH!!! However.... they are reopening on February 19. (That date isn't special for any other reason amirite guys ahahah) During the renovation, Nintendo will be updating its interior with bigger TVs and new activities for everyone. I, for one, am excited for Nintendo World's new appearance, especially since I'm a frequent visitor there! (If you guys haven't figured it out yet, Feb 19 is also the date Fe: Fates will be released in the US.) ......COINCIDENCE!?..... yeah probably. http://gematsu.com/2016/01/nintendo-store-nyc-major-renovation UPDATE! NintendoNY will be reopening this friday!! Woooo!! Along with Fire Emblem Fates! The store will be having a reopening ceremony at 12pm to celebrate!! (Ribbons 'n scissors 'n everything!) They also announced that every purchase from the store will net you a free Mario or Zelda Coin! There's going to be a Pokemon Event for the rereleased of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow! There's also a Splatfest!! I'll be heading there with a bunch of my friends!! I'm so excited!! Can't wait to see how the new store looks!

Jedi Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Would be cool if Fire Emblem got some stuff there, the date being the same does seem a bit suspicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm moreso hoping for that this could lead to more Nintendo stores, but that seems like a pipe dream. #westcoastwoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angienessyo Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Too bad I won't be there, I don't live in NY but go out there one a year for business and always swing by the store. Having been there for Pokemon XY and Smash's launches I would be a little scared of how big a crowd there would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erdall Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) After the most recent drop of Nintendo's economical actions, let's hope they'll do a great renewal to its own image through these kind of things and attract more people. Though more proper advertising is what they should need above anything else than this, to be honest. It's seems they're also trying to appeal to more people with the FE series.

Dark_Melee64 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Would be cool if Fire Emblem got some stuff there, the date being the same does seem a bit suspicious! I agree! I would love to see some Fire Emblem have its own kinda spot light. Idk if the word spot light is the word I want to use but like its own little world. Well I never visited NW before but hopefully I would get to go one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) First Sakurai promotes FE, now Nintendo World?! Mind blown away. I'm not even close to that area. Vegas has no such thing :/. They should release the items like Azura necklace and some FE merch. Lets hope that's the case with the date and them selling FE merch Edited January 6, 2016 by Radiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet. There might be circumstantial evidence if Fates is the only game from Nintendo released on that date. However, it's possible that the renovations needed to be done anyway, and the reason why they're reopening in time for Fates is because they anticipate more activity in that location.

Yeah I was just kidding though. FE just has been getting promoted a lot lately. Edited January 7, 2016 by Radiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I was in there once before and I thought it was amazing then although I bet they will make it even better. It would be nice if they could acquire more space as it was pretty packed in there only being two floors and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viberum Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I know I'm a few days late but never late than never! Nintendo World is now closed for renovations and will reopen its doors on Feb 19th!! Nintendo World will also be relinquishing its name for a new one! Starting next month, the store will be called Nintendo NY! Updated OP Edited January 22, 2016 by ChocolaChao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solkia Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I wish it was under demolition instead. Every time something is exclusive to Nintendo World I die a little inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Too bad I don't live anywhere near NYC. I do wish Nintendo World stores would open up elsewhere in the country so I COULD maybe go to one someday. But I tell you, I WILL someday! I'm not giving up on that, no way.
