Nintendo Museum to Launch Mii-Personalized Tickets on October 2, 2024

Nintendo is set to make video game history once again with the highly anticipated opening of the Nintendo Museum in Uji, Kyoto, Japan, on October 2, 2024.

As home to decades of landmark consoles, iconic characters, and franchise memorabilia, the museum promises an immersive experience for gaming enthusiasts worldwide.

One standout innovation awaiting visitors: each entry ticket will be personally adorned with the user's Mii character, offering a uniquely tailored welcome to every fan. The personalized tickets are more than just a collector’s item.

First reported by Nintendo Wire and later confirmed through details provided on the official Nintendo Museum website, guests who secure a reservation using their Nintendo Account will receive a physical ticket printed with their registered Mii character.

This feature, quietly highlighted in the museum’s online User Guide, can be found under the 'What you can do when assigning' drop-down in the ticketing section.

According to the published information, 'upon entry to the museum, each visitor will receive a play ticket with the Mii character set to their Nintendo Account printed on it.' This integration of Nintendo’s digital ecosystem into the physical museum experience leverages the widespread use of Mii avatars, introduced with the era of the Wii, Wii U, and now prominently supported on the Nintendo Switch.

Not only does this ticket system add a personal touch, it also tracks individual records and scores from the interactive stations spread throughout the museum.

For groups or families visiting together, any visitor without a Nintendo Account will have their scores attributed to the registered account used for booking, ensuring everyone’s accomplishments are recorded during their visit. The Nintendo Museum aims to bridge generations of fans, showcasing everything from retro consoles and classic NES games to modern favorites launched on the Nintendo Switch and distributed via the Nintendo eShop.

In preparation for the grand opening, Nintendo has published comprehensive guides on the museum’s official site regarding ticket reservations, exhibit highlights, and entry procedures.

Fans are advised to book early, as demand for admission—especially with the unique Mii-personalized tickets—is expected to be extremely high. With this innovative approach, Nintendo demonstrates its ongoing commitment to blending digital identity with tangible experiences, further enriching how fans engage with the company’s storied legacy.

As October approaches, excitement continues to build among both local and international visitors eager to see their Mii and their name take pride of place on a museum ticket in the home of Mario, Zelda, and countless gaming legends.
