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.[16] However, the store is no longer listed on the mall's website, indicating that it must have closed.[17] The store likely closed sometime between 2019 and 2022: a page for it on the mall's website existed as late as August 2019,[18] and it was no longer listed as early as July 2022 (the mall had been renamed to Mode Mall at the time).[19]

In late 2023 and throughout 2024, several pop-up stores opened around the world, selling previously exclusive merchandise from the Japanese Nintendo stores.

The Singapore store was located on the fourth floor of the Jewel Changi Airport and open from 10 AM to 10 PM daily. Customers required free entry tickets to enter; each ticket had a designated time period. Customers could only buy up to five of the same item. There was also a Nintendo Check-In Station that allowed visitors with Nintendo Accounts to receive a free sticker of a random Nintendo character.[22] The second opening is accompanied with the "Jewel Circuit Challenge" event. Some regions received discounts for Mario Kart Tour items to commemorate the event.[23]

The Hong Kong store was located at K11 Art Mall. Similar to the Singapore store, customers could receive one of five stickers, one had artwork of Mario.[24]

The Taipei store was located in Shin Kong Mitsukoshi at Xinyi Place. Customers with a Nintendo Account could get one of five stickers; their designs were identical to those from the Hong Kong store.[25]

In addition to the pop-up stores in Asia, several were at conventions in Europe: Japan Expo Paris,[26] ZURICH POP CON,[27] Lucca Comics & Games,[28] and Manga Barcelona.[29]
