Nintendo San Francisco store to level up for the holiday season

It’s almost the holidays, and that means Union Square will be busy with tree lightings and the likely inclusion of the annual Macy’s Holiday Windows featuring adoptable pets. One of the new kids on the block is the Nintendo San Francisco store, which will transform for the season.

The changeover begins mid-November, and it will introduce Nintendo’s Winter Collection. It features attire, accessories and more meant to go with the colder weather. Think of beanies, cardigans and blankets. For those who want to cook in style for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, the Nintendo store will also feature items such as oven mitts and recipe organizers. The offerings aren’t all Mario and Mushroom Kingdom-themed.

The store is also offering seasonal products tied to “Pikmin” such as hoodies and “Animal Crossing” loungewear. At the very least, the Nintendo San Francisco store will be the place for launches of upcoming titles such as “Kirby Air Riders,” coming out Nov. 20, and “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond,” launching Dec. 4.

For those shopping for Nintendo fans. It’s going to be the spot to pick up hard-to-find items that aren’t available anywhere else. In a news release, Nintendo said it would offer customers seasonal offers, including a free holiday-themed gift wrap with purchases of $50 or more from Dec. 6 to 7. Those who spend $100 or more will receive a Nintendo holiday ornament from Dec. 13 to 20. Visitors should also check out the in-store My Nintendo kiosk for Platinum Points and a giveaway item. Just remember to have your Nintendo Today! with your QR code in hand.

Lastly, the Nintendo San Francisco store will also be redone with holiday window displays and decor. It will likely be a popular spot when shopping in Union Square this season. For those not in the Bay Area, Nintendo is holding a sweepstakes that will offer fans a chance to visit Nintendo San Francisco with airfare and a two-night stay included.
