I'm super stoked for the release of Raiders! Doesn't look like they'll be an event for Rhythm Heaven Groove this week sadly, but they're going all out on Raiders it seems!

"Gear up for Splatoon Raiders at Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO!

The Splatoon™ Raiders game launches on July 23, and the Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO store is celebrating in style! Buy the game in-store to receive a gift with your purchase (while supplies last).

Be sure to swim by the store on July 23 between 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to get in on all the fun. There will be in-store missions for you to tackle, including Combine the Gadgets, Target Salmonids, game demos, and more! Complete a few missions and you can snag a giveaway item (while supplies last).

Entry to the event is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so be sure to mark your calendars. Catch ya there!"

Pretty neat launch at Nintendo SF, although I wish they had the Star Fox plushies available for purchase. They're up for pre-order now on MyNintendo, and they'll release and be in store this October.

The purchase bonus was a double-sided poster and a sticker sheet, which also has the main artwork on the back. When there's a double-sided poster, that's when you know Nintendo is serious with a game.

There was also an event, but I wasn't able to participate. You receive some sort of license for playing. If someone has a photo, please share here or in the Discord!

I hope everyone enjoyed the sour Starbursts I brought for Star Fox, ambassadors too! Also, I hope everyone enjoys the game and have a lovely weekend!

Oh, and one last thing! Tomorrow (June 26th) at 6PM PT, we'll be playing the online of Star Fox so join the Discord if you're interested!

Nice to see an actual announcement ahead of time for the launches. The FF7 Rebirth event mentions you receive a gift. The Star Fox one doesn't, but I'm sure there'll be something for it. The Star Fox details about flight training with a squad led by the ambassadors at the store.

Also, side note, but we'll be playing Star Fox in our Discord server the day after the game launches. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

This is for the big screen they have and also the 4 smaller tvs to the right. All playable ones have listed demo under their box cover.

Hello all, and happy Yoshi launch day! Not only was there a poster, but also these colored Yoshi hats! Yellow is on the other side of green, and blue is on the other side of pink. Apparently, there's only 250, but they might be saving some for the event this Saturday.

They had the usual big poster up near the stairs but also a really well crafted photo op with a huge magnifier you can hold! They did a great job with the display.

Lastly, I heard there was a leak under the sidewalk along the store, so unfortunately, the store has a bit of an unpleasant smell. They already had a worker this morning figuring out an estimate though, so it should hopefully be resolved soon.

Anyways, everyone enjoy your weekend! I look forward to the Star Fox launch, and we'll be doing a gaming night all together in the Discord after!

This event was truly special. I can't believe the store has now been officially been opened for a year. The store has been wonderful to have here on the West Coast, and hopefully more Nintendo stores can open around the world so more people can experience them. Our store has it's own uniqueness to it though, and it has been great this past year just visiting and meeting so many different people. I look forward to future of Nintendo San Francisco, and their events they'll hold down the line.

Tomorrow we'll be celebrating the anniversary in our Discord server so join if you'd like to play some games together! I'll be posting a poll shortly after this post in #announcements.
