Nintendo's first store in Japan opens this Friday, and it looks like a Nintendo-lover's paradise - here's what it's like inside

Nintendo Tokyo was opened for a press event on November 19 ahead of its grand opening on November 22.

Nintendo launched a bunch of new licensed products to prepare for the opening of Nintendo Tokyo.

The store is filled with exclusive merchandise and art dedicated to iconic Nintendo characters, like Super Mario ...

... while Nintendo's biggest franchises have dedicated displays, like this "Legend of Zelda" stand with a statue of Link, the series' protagonist.

Even "Splatoon," Nintendo's newest video game series, has a statute at Nintendo Tokyo.

Nintendo Tokyo and Pokémon Center Shibuya are technically separate stores, though they are neighbors. The highlight of the Pokémon store is this life-sized Mewtwo statute inside of an incubation chamber.

Pokémon Center Shibuya has a different interior design than Nintendo Tokyo. Items like the graffiti-style Pikachu plush on display will only be available in the store.

This "Animal Crossing" tea set is a perfect example of how the Nintendo brand has expanded way beyond video games.

At Nintendo Tokyo, every version of the Switch — the company's newest console — is on display. Customers can also use demo stations to try new Switch games.

Nintendo Tokyo will officially open on November 22.
