Nintendo TOKYO officially opened in the renovated Shibuya Parco in Tokyo last week, and despite it being both rainy and the coldest day of the year, that didn’t stop Nintendo fans from lining up by the thousands to get in.<\/p>\n

The store officially opened up at 10:00, but you first had to line up to get a timeslot ticket and wristband to enter. We arrived just after 9:00 am and got a 10:30 am entry ticket. At 10:00 am, we were directed to stand in a line that stretched from the store entrance on the 6th floor all the way to the roof of the building on the 10th floor.<\/p>\n

It was absolute chaos getting into line, with both Nintendo TOKYO staff and Shibuya Parco staff being out of sync with communication. Although our ticket said 10:30, we were unable to enter until about noon. Early reports from fans indicated that people arriving at 10:00 am were receiving tickets with time slots beyond 1:00 pm and labelled with customer numbers beyond 1,000.<\/p>\n
