Nintendo OSAKA at Daimaru Umeda Store – Part II

● ・The Legend of Zelda Series

¡Hola! I’m Kuro from Mexico. I’m a student.
Today, I’m visiting one of my favorite places in Osaka, Nintendo OSAKA! Located inside the Daimaru Umeda department store, it’s just a short 5-minute walk from Osaka Metro Umeda Station.

In the previous post, I talked about the character statues scattered around the store and the must see sections featuring everyone’s favorite games like Super Mario, Splatoon, and Pikmin. This time, I’ll dive into other exciting highlights, including popular games like The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing, Nintendo OSAKA exclusive merchandise, gaming trials, and their ticketed entry system.

Let’s go!

First up is The Legend of Zelda series.

The Legend of Zelda themed pins caught my attention first. Heart Containers (1,100 yen incl. tax), Ocarina of Time (1,100 yen incl. tax), Majora’s Mask (1,320 yen incl. tax)…they have it all!

I’d actually seen these pins online and thought they’d be plain and flat, but in person, they are surprisingly 3D and really well made! Looking at these items I collect in the game instantly brought vivid images from it to mind. I should definitely get a Heart Container pin and “Life-Up”! (lol)

These key chains (1,540 yen incl. tax) are sure to entice any Legend of Zelda fan.
I mean, you can actually have the Boss Key in your hand! I could walk into the boss room anytime and open a dungeon’s big chest! And with Lon Lon Milk right beside it, I’d be all set to heal up mid-battle! lol

This heat sensitive mug (1,760 yen incl. tax) with Recovery Hearts can also heal you as you sip your coffee. When you pour in a hot drink, the hearts turn red one by one from left to right—how cool is that?! ❤❤❤

Whoever came up with this design is a genius. Just imagine ending your day with your favorite drink in this—your Heart Containers will be full, and you’ll feel great♪

Other Zelda items include stylish hoodies (8,250 yen incl. tax), notebooks (B5 size, 770 yen incl. tax), hardcover notebooks (A4 size, 2,420 yen incl. tax), practical items like tote bags (7,700 yen incl. tax) and coin purses (2,420 yen incl. tax), and Hyrule Crest and Triforce brain teasers (3,300 yen incl. tax). Whether you want to proudly show the world you’re a Zelda fan or keep it subtle—sharing it only with those in the know—you’re sure to find something that speaks to you here👍

● ・Animal Crossing Comes to Life

Now, let’s move on to the Animal Crossing corner.

I love these! Both the coffee grinder and the mug feature Brewster at The Roost Cafe! These are pretty stylish. I can totally see the Brewster using this set to serve coffee at his cafe.
“Coffee is 200 Bells a cup…Coo,” says the Brewster! (lol)

There are plenty of kitchen tools featuring your favorite characters to make your cooking more fun.
Storage containers and canisters have a simple black and white design that blends seamlessly into any kitchen interior.

Cutting boards with Animal Crossing characters (1,870 yen incl. tax), kitchen timers (2,200 yen incl. tax), and enameled cast iron Dutch ovens (5,060 yen incl. tax) are all well-made and great for cooking.

There’s of course more than kitchen tools here. Look at all these adorable Animal Crossing plushies and keychains! Blathers, Gulliver, Brewster, Tom Nook…the villagers are all here!

● ・Character-Themed Snacks & Souvenirs

Everyone loves snack souvenirs—especially when they have cute character designs!

Every generation of Super Mario series is represented in above snack sized cookies (2,200 yen incl. tax) and, best of all, they come in the green Warp Pipe! Let’s see…which generation have I played the most? (lol)

Splatoon Squid Cookie tins (1,595 yen incl. tax) include both squid- and octopus-shaped cookies.
They’d make a perfect souvenir for school or work!

These Spanish Christmas cookies (1,458 yen incl. tax) feature Tom Nook, Timmy, and Tommy together on the tin.
I can feel the warmth of the island. lol

You can collect the Petite Can Collection: Colorful Ramune – Super Mario by buying a set of eight tins or individual tins◎! Grab the whole set as souvenirs or pick your favorite ones for yourself.

My friends would definitely love any of the snacks from Nintendo OSAKA. The tricky part is deciding which one to get—it’s harder than I thought!

● Nintendo OSAKA Exclusives

These T-shirts and pens with the Nintendo OSAKA logo are sold exclusively at Nintendo OSAKA, and make a perfect keepsake for your visit.

These Sakusaku Chocolat cookie tins (2,484 yen incl. tax) can only be purchased here♪

The various goods featuring marching Nintendo characters are rare items, available only at Nintendo OSAKA, Nintendo TOKYO, and Nintendo KYOTO.
It’s the only place where these beloved Nintendo characters from across different games come together!

● Kirby’s Dream Land, Metroid, and Other Games

I’ve covered several popular games so far, but this is Nintendo—there are plenty more games as you know!
Here, for example, are Kirby’s Dream Land goods, with charming, colorful designs♪

And…OMG!!
They have Metroid goods! I absolutely love this action-adventure game!! You have no idea how excited I am to find this!!

You can also find non-video game items at Nintendo OSAKA, like Mario Game of Life, Mario Hanafuda Japanese playing cards, Mario playing cards, Mario Legos, Mario eco bags…basically, just about anything you might think of☆

I even spotted the popular Alarmo (12,980 yen incl. tax)! This smart alarm plays sounds from Nintendo games and reacts to every move you make with its sensor. Forget pressing a button with this alarm clock—you actually have to get out of bed to turn it off!
It’s a hot item, so grab one before it’s gone! If you really want one, I recommend you head to the store first thing in the morning.

● Gaming Accessories for A Complete Gaming Setup

You can’t really enjoy the games without a proper gaming setup.
Here at Nintendo OSAKA, you can get all sorts of games and gaming accessories to get you started, like the colorful Nintendo Switch controllers. I need to be careful not to buy another one—though it’s hard for me to resist these controllers in vivid pop art colors!

I even found the very first Nintendo controller. These are not just for show, they can actually be used to play Family Computer Nintendo Switch Online games. In fact, these original controllers are sold exclusively to Nintendo Switch Online members, and proof of membership is required at the time of purchase.
This old school controller reminded me of one of my most treasured possessions, the Nintendo 64 controller I got when I was five. I still have it and cherish it to this day!

● Test Out a New Game

The gaming corner is equipped with a gigantic screen!
I loved trying out new games on it—I think I might need to get one for home (lol)

It’s a great place to try out Nintendo’s latest games or the games you’d been curious about but hadn’t had a chance to play.

Be sure to also check out the original capsule toys!
The Nintendo Controller Botton Collection is super popular—where else can you get your hands on high-quality Super Famicom, Nintendo 64, and Nintendo GameCube themed capsule toys✨
Get special tokens and give it a try!

● Check X for Entry Ticket Info

I went on a weekday, so the crowds weren’t that bad. On weekends and holidays, though, it can get very busy at Nintendo OSAKA, as you might expect. On those days, the store uses a ticketed entry system.

▲South Gate Plaza

▲Tickets are distributed at the Nintendo OSAKA store

Before the store opens at 10 am, tickets are distributed outside Daimaru Umeda department store (1st floor) and at the South Gate Plaza. After the store opens, tickets are handed out at the store. This can change depending on how busy the day is, so make sure to check Nintendo OSAKA’s official X account for the latest entry ticket information.

Look! After completing my tour of Nintendo OSAKA, I picked up my favorite Zelda merchandise! The bag, of course, features a design of Nintendo characters—as if they’re coming home with me.
When I get home, I’m going to play Nintendo Switch! I’ve been inspired. (lol)

So, what do you think about Nintendo OSAKA? Is it on your list of places to visit in Osaka?

Nintendo OSAKA is a great place for both kids and adults, whether you’re a gaming fan or not. The designs are all high quality, and there’s something for everyone. As for me, I’ll definitely need to return soon. After today’s tour, my shopping list got even longer♪ Maybe I’ll see you there?!
