On November 22, 2024, a Nintendo Authorized Store was opened in Bangkok, Thailand, after being announced by Nintendo's Thai distributor Synnex at the 2024 Thailand Game Show on October 18.

Nintendo New York
- Main article: Nintendo New York
Opened in November 2001 as The Pokémon Center and expanded into Nintendo World in May 2005, Nintendo New York is the oldest official Nintendo store. Located at the Rockefeller Center in New York City, the store also contains a museum.
Nintendo San Francisco
A sister location in Union Square, San Francisco, California is planned to open on May 15, 2025.[9][10]
Defunct stores
In May 2012, Nintendo opened a store at the Al Faisaliah Mall in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; the store was operated by Shas Samurai, Nintendo's Saudi representative.[11] However, the store is no longer listed on the mall's website, indicating that it must have closed.[12] The store likely closed sometime between 2019 and 2022: a page for it on the mall's website existed as late as August 2019,[13] and it was no longer listed as early as July 2022 (the mall had been renamed to Mode Mall at the time).[14]
