In response to the continued spread of COVID-19, Japan has now declared a state of emergency and issued stay at home guidelines for its more densely populated and affected prefectures, similar to those seen in the US and some other countries. This also means the temporary closure of non-essential businesses, including the Nintendo Tokyo store.
[おしらせ]新型コロナウイルス感染症の拡大防止のため、渋谷PARCO並びに #NintendoTOKYO は4月8日（水）より当面の間、休業となります。ご理解いただきますようお願い申し上げます。
営業再開については、こちらのアカウントにてご案内いたします。— Nintendo TOKYO (@N_Officialstore) April 7, 2020
The store, which has been highly popular since its opening late last year, will notify customers when they can return via its official Twitter account.

When he isn’t writing for Nintendo Wire, Ricky’s anticipating the next Kirby, Fire Emblem, or if the stars ever align, Mother 3 to be released. Till then he’ll have the warm comfort of Super Smash Bros. to keep him going.
