Zapper & Score SP

This game, part of the exhibition on the first floor, is a fast-paced shooting experience. Players can choose between the Zapper, known for its rapid-fire action, or the Super Scope, designed for precise aiming. Test your skills by taking down classic Nintendo villains like Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and Chain Chomps, and compete for the highest score. Up to 13 players can participate simultaneously, making it a great challenge for groups. Each booth is limited to one player, though parents can accompany their children inside. The game requires four digital coins per play.

Nintendo Classics

This exhibit brings classic gaming to life with titles from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and Nintendo 64. The games remain true to their original versions, but the controllers have been slightly modernized while maintaining the feel of the originals. Players can choose between single-player, dual-player, or multiplayer modes. Each session lasts five to ten minutes and only requires one digital coin.

Craft Room & Play Room

The Craft Room & Play Room offers a hands-on workshop where visitors can create their own Hanafuda playing cards and try them out in a digital-enhanced play area. Visitors can choose a design from 12 monthly patterns, then color, fold, and assemble four cards. The Play Room, where you can use your customized cards, enhances gameplay with image recognition and projection technology, bringing a modern twist to the traditional hana-awase version of Hanafuda. You can take your handmade cards home as a souvenir after playing.
