Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO

★★★★★

“My kids specifically wanted to come to San Francisco for this store & wow did we have the best time!! So nice, we visited twice! The first time we waited in line outside about ten minutes to come in & to our surprise, the staff was clapping for us & welcoming us in. Super cool. My kids loveee Splatoon the most, so they raced downstairs to see the display. Their squeals & smiles told me they loved it a lot. Pretty sure we bought the entire section! Luke, who checked us out, was super friendly & even snapped a photo of my Super Mario Kart custom nails 💅🏼 awesome! Day 2 was my daughter’s 19th birthday 🎉 so they dressed in all their Splatoon gear we previously purchased & the staff who welcomed us in all commented excitedly on how cool they looked! We managed to fill two more bags up that included Pikmin, Mario & Princess Peach (my fave). Gabe checked us out that time & he was equally as friendly as Luke & let my kids choose a Splatoon receipt annnddd gave them special little cards. Thank you so much for an amazing experience. We can’t wait to visit again!”

“I'd say this is my favorite Nintendo store I've been to yet. I liked the fact that everyone needed to register for a set window to get in. It was busy inside but not too crazy. Everything wasn't wiped out like I expected. The checkout line wasn't that bad either. I also got some free stuff and Nintendo points which was nice. Overall I had a good time and it was a highlight of my trip to CA.”

“Fantastic store and experience. I’ve only been to the New York location before, and I have to say, this one is a bit larger and much better organized. Not too crowded and easily accessible. There were a lot of selections from different game series, and the staff were super helpful with questions and requests. I even asked one of the cashiers for one of the Nintendo San Francisco stickers at checkout as a souvenir, and he gave me a whole sheet to keep. Overall a great experience.”

“Must visit if you are in SF and a fan of anything Nintendo One of only two locations in the US. Definitely check it out as they have an assortment of store exclusive apparel/merch plus an overall great selection from various franchises (Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Pikmin, Splatoon, etc.). Located right off a cable car and bus stop on Powell right on the corner next to Union Square. You can't miss it. We went during the early parts of the Pokemon World/XP event so luckily for us, the wait outside was maybe 15 mins tops. I noticed over the weekend they had to implement a queue system due to the increased traffic. Staff do a good job of making sure the store isn't crammed and shoppers have plenty of room to browse their huge selection (it's two floors!). I didn't expect to buy as much as I did (Animal Crossing home items were very nice) and of course all the Pokemon plushies available. I was so tempted to buy Zelda and some Mario merch, but had to show some restraint. Staff is great here, very happy and cheerful. Helpful if you need anything, especially sizing on apparel. They were constantly restocking and making announcements on new merch they were bringing out. In some ways, I'm glad I don't live so close to this store or I'd be spending way too much time and money here.”
