Nintendo enthusiasts on the West Coast have a new reason to celebrate as the company unveils its second official store in the United States today, May 15. Located in the heart of San Francisco's Union Square at 331 Powell Street, the Nintendo San Francisco store follows in the footsteps of the renowned Nintendo NY in New York, which underwent a significant renovation and rebranding in 2016.
