Major overhaul planned for game store

Nintendo World in Rockefeller Plaza in New York City is getting a big upgrade.



The two-level store, which opened in 2005, will temporarily close on Jan. 10, and then reopen on Feb. 19, with a new look and a new feel. The overhaul will include an updated interior design, new demo units for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, a 15-ft. gaming screen and more fun elements.



In addition, a large bronze coin installed at the store entrance will display the store’s tagline: “Where everyone comes to play.”



“Nintendo is constantly evolving its experiences for fans,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive VP of sales & marketing. “The new Nintendo NY store is a must-see location for anyone that has a memory of Nintendo, or who wants to see what Nintendo has in store for the future.”
