A new Nintendo retail experience is coming to the heart of Toronto – a first for North America.<\/p>\n
EB Games Canada today announced that it will open a new Nintendo space at EB Games, marking Nintendo\u2019s first-ever store-within-a-store in North America, at its flagship location at 267 Yonge Street in Toronto.<\/p>\n
Opening to the public at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 17, the permanent, 1,500-square-foot space will bring Nintendo games, characters and worlds together in a dedicated retail environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something special about gathering around the games we love, and we believe physical retail has an important role to play in creating those moments,\u201d said St\u00e9phan T\u00e9trault, Owner and CEO of EB Games Canada. \u201cThe Nintendo space at EB Games is exactly the kind of retail experience we want to bring to our customers – immersive, exciting and designed to bring people closer to their favourite characters and franchises.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Nintendo space at EB Games will feature Nintendo Switch 2 hardware and software, playable games at demo systems, Nintendo-themed displays, merchandise and photo opportunities. The space will also offer a selection of My Mario merchandise, some of which will be available exclusively at the Nintendo space at EB Games in Canada.<\/p>\n
Together, the offerings will create a one-of-a-kind destination for longtime Nintendo fans, families and anyone looking to discover what\u2019s new from Nintendo.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re always looking for new ways for people to experience Nintendo games and worlds,\u201d said Susan Pennefather, Vice President and General Manager of Nintendo of Canada. \u201cThe Nintendo space at EB Games is an incredible place to explore what\u2019s new, discover merchandise and celebrate our iconic characters. We\u2019re proud to bring this concept to North America for the first time, right here in Toronto. We can\u2019t wait to welcome people inside.\u201d<\/p>\n
