    Museum visitors are given 10 digital coins they can use to play the games, but be warned: it’s not possible to buy additional ones, so players will need to strategize and choose wisely.

    This is so idiotic, yet somehow still 100% on brand for Nintendo.

        Pretty much all modern arcades just charge you for entry. No one pays for the individual games anymore because no one would do it in this day and age as it would be seen as overly expensive.

          There’s an arcade in my town called 1984 where the entry fee is only $20 and you can play all day, going for food and coming back no problem.

          At least it was. I haven’t been in a while.

      I’m assuming it’s to make sure there’s not long waits to try them. Giving a set number of tokens to visitors means they can roughly control the amount of time someone spends with those games. One person can’t just buy 100 coins and spend all day on the same game.

      Could have just done a ticketing system reserved in advance with fixed time blocks, though. But then your museum tour is on a schedule.

      No one at Nintendo knows how to run a successful business anymore. They’re just profiting off their forebears decisions.

      The switch was a really interesting games console, that they did absolutely nothing with.

    Never thought I’d say this, but I’d be down to vandalize this “museum”.
