Nintendo has claimed rumours about a Nintendo Store in London are "speculation".

Earlier in the week UK-based Nintendo fans were excited by a rumour that stated Nintendo was to open a store in the heart of London on it's most well known shopping street - Oxford Street. However, Nintendo has gone on record to claim that this is nothing but "speculation".

Speaking to VG247 a Nintendo representative said talk of a Nintendo store in London is "purely rumour and speculation," seemingly dismissing the notion completely. However, Nintendo is known for denying rumours until they are willing to announce details so we will have to wait and see.

The original rumour suggested that within two weeks a Nintendo store would be opened on Oxford Street. Details seemed to suggest that it would be a concession within a large department store, such as Selfridges or John Lewis, rather than a store in itself like in New York, seen above hosting a Justin Bieber acoustic session.
