Fans of Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon and Pikmin rejoice! The Nintendo POP-UP STORE is opening in Singapore from 17 November 2023 to 1 January 2024 at Changi Airport's Jewel.

For the first time in Southeast Asia, fans of the beloved Nintendo series will be able to purchase special featured merchandise that were previously only available in Japan in Nintendo's Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto stores. But that's not all, as Nintendo will also have a taste of Singapore for those who pop up at the pop-up.

To celebrate the store on level 4 at Jewel, six types of exclusively designed postcards will also be available for shoppers.

Those who spend S$80 of more in a single transaction at the store will receive one of these limited-edition Singapore Special postcards, while stocks last.

These feature iconic Singapore landmarks, such as the Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay and the Old Hill Street Police Station (currently home to Singapore's Ministry of Communications and Information).

One key highlight of the product line-up will be a special illustration featuring selected characters from the various series, with the iconic Mario himself leading the way. There's also a colourful array of items available for purchase, with more being unveiled closer to the opening date.
