Nintendo’s Boss Once Took Over French Landmark Le Louvre to Make a Spectacular Moment Overnight

Nintendo is known for doing crazy things when it comes to promoting their games or even the devices. And one can hardly deny this fact whatsoever. It’s also because there are multiple examples from the past where the Japanese giant did something unimaginable.

A similar incident took place almost a decade ago, when Nintendo director and famous designer, Shingeru Miyamoto, visited France in 2013, to promote a new console during that time, the 3DS. To everyone’s surprise, the place he decided to go to was the most-visited museum in the world.

When Miyamoto went to the Louvre museum in France to show off the Nintendo 3DS!

A Twitter account that keeps track of the most epic moments from Nintendo‘s history recently shared a photo via a tweet. This photo was not any ordinary one though, as it featured designer, Shingeru Miyamoto. However, what’s even more astonishing about this image is that he can be seen inside Louvre, the immensely famous museum located in France.

In case anyone is not aware, Louvre is the most-visited museum in the world, while also being a historical landmark. It is home to some really amazing works of art such as the Mona Lisa, and Venus de Milo. The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace. The latter was built in the late 12th to 13th century under Phillip II.

Contrary to the aesthetics of the place where he was, Mr. Miyamoto, in the picture, is seen holding a Nintendo 3DS inside the Louvre museum. One can say he was trying to promote the hardware which was the newest console from the Japanese gaming giant.

All things considered, it can be termed as one of the most creative, and of course artistic, ways of spreading the message about a Nintendo console.

Without a doubt, this seems to be a unique method to attract the attention of the visitors towards the 3DS. Because generally, it’s not something one can usually witness while being in a grand museum.

Meanwhile, when it comes to what’s Nintendo doing these days, the Mario maker is currently preparing for the launch of its next batch of exclusives. So far, in 2022, the developer has offered tons of blockbusters. Some of them include the likes of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and recently, Splatoon 3.

But there are more releases on the way, which will make their debuts on the Switch. There is Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Bayonetta 3, and also Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. These titles are yet to launch before the end of this year.
