Museum visitors are given 10 digital coins they can use to play the games, but be warned: it’s not possible to buy additional ones, so players will need to strategize and choose wisely.

This is so idiotic, yet somehow still 100% on brand for Nintendo.

It almost reads like a satire article, it's quite ridiculous.

It sounds more like a shitty arcade.

Pretty much all modern arcades just charge you for entry. No one pays for the individual games anymore because no one would do it in this day and age as it would be seen as overly expensive.

There's an arcade in my town called 1984 where the entry fee is only $20 and you can play all day, going for food and coming back no problem.

At least it was. I haven't been in a while.

No one at Nintendo knows how to run a successful business anymore. They're just profiting off their forebears decisions.

The switch was a really interesting games console, that they did absolutely nothing with.

It's not a business, it's a museum

echodot@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Which is a business.

No, a museum is part of culture and arts. They aren't there to make bank.

An art museum is. This is run by Nintendo, it's advertising/ commercial

The games there better not run on any emulators.

First ride will be a court room with Weird Al’s “I’ll sue ya” playing as elevator music

Followed immediately by the world's first execution over counterfeit entrance tickets. $60 bucks is $60 bucks.

"...filled with framed lawsuits and litigations against their fans."

They can go suck on a tailpipe and die in the sewer.

What are they exhibiting? Lawsuits?

So when's the cease and desist coming?

Just don't post about your visit to YouTube.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'd be down to vandalize this "museum".
