The official Nintendo store in Japan, Nintendo Tokyo, re-opened earlier this month after certain COVID-19 quarantine rules were lifted. Yet, in order to enter the store, there’s an online lottery process and only a limited number of customers can be in the store at one time. Hoping to satisfy Nintendo fans, Nintendo is starting to release items that are exclusive to Nintendo Tokyo online via the My Nintendo Store.
Which series is receiving the honor of debuting on the My Nintendo Store? It’s Animal Crossing, of course! The “DŌBUTSU NO MORI” collection consists of home/kitchen items, hygienic supplies and toiletries, stationery, tech accessories, and apparel. Most items are available now to order, save for a few that won’t be delivered until October.
Sadly for anyone outside of Japan, you won’t be able to purchase any of these items as international shipping isn’t made available. At least we can look and maybe see if the new buying method makes it easier to import via resellers.
