Nintendo has recently opened the doors to a pop-up store in London called the Nintendo Experience Zone. Located inside the Argos store on Tottenham Court Road, the shop offers a wide selection of merchandise, including games, consoles, plushies, figures, and other collectibles based on Nintendo’s extensive IP catalog.

Offerings and details

The Nintendo Experience Zone is fully stocked with the latest games and consoles, along with accessories for various games and systems. Customers can also find exclusive merchandise made specifically for Argos. The store features products from major Nintendo franchises such as Zelda, Metroid, Animal Crossing, and Kirby, as well as items from Splatoon and Pikmin.

There is also a broad range of Pokémon-related products available, including accessories, plushies, toys, and board games. In addition, there are various stationery items, home accessories, and toys for children on sale. This variety adds to Argos’ existing lineup and further expands the reach of Nintendo merchandise.

How the collaboration came together

The collaboration between Nintendo and Argos for this pop-up store is the result of no less than seven months of planning. Peter Wray, Argos’ gaming buyer, shared his excitement about the project on LinkedIn and thanked the partners who even delivered their products by hand. This highlights the dedication and teamwork behind the pop-up store.

The Experience Zone appears to be staying open for now, although it is unclear exactly how long the store will remain in operation. It is being speculated that the project will stay accessible to the public over the coming months.
