Museum visitors are given 10 digital coins they can use to play the games, but be warned: it’s not possible to buy additional ones, so players will need to strategize and choose wisely.
This is so idiotic, yet somehow still 100% on brand for Nintendo.

It almost reads like a satire article, it’s quite ridiculous.

Pretty much all modern arcades just charge you for entry. No one pays for the individual games anymore because no one would do it in this day and age as it would be seen as overly expensive.

There’s an arcade in my town called 1984 where the entry fee is only $20 and you can play all day, going for food and coming back no problem.
At least it was. I haven’t been in a while.

I’m assuming it’s to make sure there’s not long waits to try them. Giving a set number of tokens to visitors means they can roughly control the amount of time someone spends with those games. One person can’t just buy 100 coins and spend all day on the same game.
Could have just done a ticketing system reserved in advance with fixed time blocks, though. But then your museum tour is on a schedule.

Followed immediately by the world’s first execution over counterfeit entrance tickets. $60 bucks is $60 bucks.
Nintendo when I agree to the terms and conditions so my children can have fun for an hour

Someone takes a photo “six years dungeon!”
First ride will be a court room with Weird Al’s “I’ll sue ya” playing as elevator music
It's a museum.
Art galley of all the famous…cases they won, special wing reserved for the patents xd
The games there better not run on any emulators.

It sounds more like a shitty arcade.

No one at Nintendo knows how to run a successful business anymore. They’re just profiting off their forebears decisions.
The switch was a really interesting games console, that they did absolutely nothing with.
It’s not a business, it’s a museum
Which is a business.
No, a museum is part of culture and arts. They aren’t there to make bank.
An art museum is. This is run by Nintendo, it’s advertising/ commercial
Never thought I’d say this, but I’d be down to vandalize this “museum”.
Hmmm
What are they exhibiting? Lawsuits?
Only museum that people would actually enjoy if oil activists thew soup on the exhibits
So when’s the cease and desist coming?
“…filled with framed lawsuits and litigations against their fans.”
They can go suck on a tailpipe and die in the sewer.
Just don’t post about your visit to YouTube.
Will I be detained if I have a device with an emulator installed while visiting the museum
