Nintendo have just finished broadcasting their Museum Direct.

The official opening date for the museum is Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024. A mere six weeks away.

As advertised, it was a short video detailing the museum, which was presented by none other than Shigeru Miyamoto, who is the creator of Mario, among his many other accolades during his long-running history with the company.

Who could be a better fit to present such an historically-focused video? Aside from the late Satoru Iwata of course, who would surely be smiling (and laughing) to see such a joyful celebration of Nintendo's history.

The ten-minute long tour video really shows off a variety of Nintendo history right from the very start of the company in 1889, right up to present day.

It surely looks like a fantastic celebration of the company and everyone involved in keeping Nintendo going over the many years.

The video is well worth checking out as well, as it's simply joyful to witness Miyamoto and the Museum staff enjoying partaking in the many interactive exhibits, in fact, just try to watch the video and not at least express some form of joy, as any Nintendo fan will surely enjoy the virtual tour.

Also worth noting if you're considering visiting the Nintendo Museum, the company is currently accepting drawing entries for October and November tickets.

Here are the conditions taken straight from the official website...

• A free Nintendo Account is required to make a reservation.
• Tickets are sold via a randomly selected drawing.
• Drawing results will be sent out via email, or you can check the Home page of the ticketing website.
• If you are selected, you will be asked to complete your purchase. Only credit cards can be used to pay for tickets.
