Nintendo is set to open its second official U.S. store in San Francisco’s Union Square in 2025, nearly 20 years after its first location launched in New York's Rockefeller Center. Named Nintendo San Francisco, this new store aims to offer fans a unique opportunity to engage with Nintendo’s extensive range of products and characters. While specific details about the size and offerings of the San Francisco store remain under wraps, it is expected to be a significant addition to the city’s retail landscape, especially given the recent closures of major stores in the area. Additionally, this marks a continuation of Nintendo's expansion, following the opening of Nintendo Tokyo in 2019 and subsequent stores in Kyoto and Osaka.

Nintendo’s first U.S. store, Nintendo New York, has been a major attraction since its opening in May 2005 at the historic Rockefeller Center. Known for its extensive selection of merchandise and interactive experiences, the store spans two stories and covers 10,000 square feet. Similarly, the San Francisco location is anticipated to offer a robust retail experience.
