The Nintendo Museum shop is limiting sales of some items after just one day

The newly-opened Nintendo Museum in Japan has begun limiting the sale of certain items.

The museum only opened its doors to the public on Tuesday, but online marketplaces are already being flooded with items bought from the venue.

Seemingly in a bid to combat scalping, a post on the museum’s official X account on Tuesday confirmed that the sale of some items will now be limited.

These include a collection of keychains fashioned after Nintendo consoles, as well as large cushions that come in the shape of Nintendo controllers.

Online marketplace Mercari has over 1,000 listings for Nintendo Museum items, with some of the most in-demand, such as the large  Wiimote cushions, selling for over $215.

The museum’s shop, Bonus Stage, sells all sorts of memorabilia celebrating the company’s history, including T-shirts, mugs and other collectibles featuring all of Nintendo’s home consoles and handhelds.

Located in Kyoto, the museum is built on the site of the original Nintendo factory which produced playing cards in the company’s earliest days.

It has several exhibitions chronicling Nintendo’s hardware through the years, as well as their most iconic titles.

The first floor features a total of eight interactive experiences. Visitors are given a pass loaded with digital coins which can be used in these experiences.

One of them lets visitors try the Ultra Machine, an early baseball-pitching machine created by Nintendo in the 1960s. Visitors enter a recreation of a living room and have to try to hit targets with the balls.

Another experience reinvents Nintendo’s 1970s Laser Clay shooting ranges with a more modern take, as visitors use the NES Zapper and Super Famicom Super Scope to fire at targets on a giant screen.
