Introduction to the Nintendo Museum
- 🏛️ The Nintendo Museum is a two-story interactive celebration of everything Nintendo, situated in Kyoto, Japan, where the company was founded.
- 🎮 The museum is a place where fun is at the heart of everything, with a focus on the company's achievements and products.
- 📆 The idea to create the museum came about as Nintendo's century-old history began to pile up, and the company wanted to preserve its materials and history.
Nintendo's Philosophy and Approach
- 💡 Shigeru Miyamoto shares that Nintendo's traditional approach is to connect with consumers through products, not the company itself.
- 📺 Former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi's philosophy was that if a product needs to be over-advertised to sell, it's better not to sell it at all.
- 🤔 Miyamoto thinks that Yamauchi might not be in favor of the museum project if he were still alive today.
