Japanese Nintendo site Nintendo Every is reporting that overseas visitors have recently been cause for concern at the recently opened Nintendo Museum. This is because visitors are taking photos in areas that they are unauthorised to take photos ,which means they are disobeying the rules at the museum. One post containing photos of the various console prototypes, which is only meant to be seen by visitors, received 7,700 likes and 1,200 reposts and has since been deleted. VGC’s Andy Robinson also published photos of the console prototypes and has since deleted the post which also went viral on X. Another video post causing Nintendo ire, which was published on X, saw Chris Mack unplugging cords connecting the controllers in the SNES area to check whether the games are running on an emulator, which it seems they were.
Japan: Overseas visitors causing disturbances at Nintendo Museum
Tentri, Sonic – is this you guys ?
Yes it is me, all of them, Sonic is not involved in any of this it was all me. I cloned myself so I can create more chaos and I also told Miyamoto to fuck off and hit him with the huge Wii controller. Safe to say I’m banned, next target is the Kirby cafe where I will cosplay as king DDD and steal all their food in the kitchen
I’m honestly super confused on why people would act like this anyway.
Cuz they are the r-word and I don’t blame Japan for hating tourists.
I’m so shocked….not!
I wish people should never act like this in a area they are not supposed to be in.
Blocks
Of course they are. Japan must hate tourists at this point.
There’s always a small group of people that ruin good things for everyone else. Why can’t everyone be civil? Is it really that hard to follow rules and not act like an unsupervised 5 year old?
Five year olds would literally touch and break things, while running around like vermin.
This is just the equivalent of leakers IRL/AFKB. Nintendo has physical items/design from their offices’ darkest depths, reserved for a specific musuem in their own home neighborhood, thousands of miles (and literally over several seas) away from your average 9-to-5 westerner who jump onto these internet platforms or brick-and-mortar stores.
Doesn’t apply to me, I have neither the budget, the travel skills or linguistic skills to even get over there.
Welcome to the real world, Nintendo.
must be americans…
Slow down there guy
Well Andy Robinson is from the UK… But, netizens always like to dog Americans for crap when half the time Canadians, Europeans, or Australians are at fault.
“ITS NOT US ITS ACTUALLY THEM!!!” not calling you racist but this discourse kinda is, let’s just say every country has bad apples and tourists in general are at fault
I think it is a great shame on the people (and their parents) where rules have been disobeyed to such an extent that the value of, for instance, an international visitor from Australia visiting Japan for the sole purpose of discovering such exciting news firsthand at the Nintendo Museum becomes diminished with financial repercussions, because the value is cheapened by the online experience that has been made on invalid legal grounds (against the rules of the license the Museum grants visitors).
I note sorrow to the legacy of Yamauchi-san for this to have occurred, and hope that it will be resolved in good order.
Best wishes to the great success of the Nintendo Museum as an international institution in video game development and culture. I trust it keeps powering through with the great legacy it has set!
For the record Japan is actually very tourist friendly. I just got back from there and Obviously some people dislike tourists, but 90% of people I interacted with were not only polite but had an active personal interest in me as a foreigner (assuming there was time for such an interaction)
I mean yeah most people will be friendly to you as long your not jerk and respectful, unlike these examples in the article.
“It’s disappointing to hear about disturbances at the Nintendo Museum—everyone should be able to enjoy the experience without disruptions, kind of like savoring alpastor in peace at a favorite taco spot! Just as alpastor’s unique flavors deserve appreciation, so do the exhibits and memories on display at the museum. Let’s hope visitors can be more mindful, so everyone can fully enjoy this iconic gaming history.”
NSO games are also running on Nintendo -made emulators since day one. So I don’t understand the thought process of these manchildren thinking that they “owned” Nintendo for proving Nintendo are using their own emulators on their new Museum.
I mean, are we surprised? This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of thing sadly, and it won’t be the last. Disrespect all around, and then when they are held accountable they want to play victim attention. How hard is it, to know the rules of the place that you’re going, before you go.. and just follow them?
But no, just constant entitled behavior… Because this is where we are now.
