There\u2019s no shortage of fascinating Nintendo-related places to visit in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

You could explore shops for boxed Famicom games, sit down and eat a Kirby burger, or play Punch-Out!!<\/a> in its original cabinet at a retro arcade. Yet one attraction was hidden from Nintendo diehards for years. A cafe run by a former Nintendo employee where the world\u2019s most iconic game developers meet to eat and drink surrounded by priceless memorabilia that fans would give anything to own.<\/p>\n

Once only a rumor whispered amongst Japanese game fans, the haven for Nintendo hardcores named ’84’ is now open to the public. Often stylized as \u201d84 hashi\u201d but just pronounced \u201chashi,\u201d it refers to the final level of the original Super Mario Bros.<\/a> (eight-four) and the owner\u2019s name, Toru Hashimoto.<\/p>\n

While the cafe was only reserved for people in the gaming industry, Hashimoto has recently opened it up to tourists. Fans can reserve their spot in the 84tour, allowing them to step inside a truly unique time capsule of Nintendo history.<\/p>\n
