Nintendo New York (previously known as Nintendo World and The Pokémon Center) is an official store of Nintendo located in New York City at the Rockefeller Center. The store was opened on November 16, 2001 as The Pokémon Center and on May 14, 2005 as Nintendo World. Visitors can purchase Mario and Nintendo merchandise. Additionally, visitors can play Mario games on the Nintendo New York's Nintendo 3DSs and Wii Us. On February 19, 2016, the store was reopened after a one month renovation and had its name changed to "Nintendo New York".
Upstairs, there is a museum section, though the items on show often change. The second floor also contains a Pokémon section, where a lot of Pokémon plush toys are sold.
Nintendo New York often sells exclusive or rare Nintendo items, as it is the only official Nintendo store in the United States. They also give out special Nintendo shopping bags at checkout, with various character illustrations on them. The store often changes its décor, based on what games have recently been released.

Visitors can frequently take part in tournaments, and can chat with a screen with Mario or Luigi on it.
