The Philippines Is Finally Getting Its First Nintendo Authorized Store In SM Makati
Filipino gamers can finally power up their shopping experience this year. Nintendo will open its very first Authorized Store in the Philippines this May 2026. The Japanese gaming giant chose the heart of the Metro for its landmark launch.
SM Makati teased fans with a sneak peek of the upcoming shop on April 24. A large construction barricade now sits on the mall’s second level featuring a cheerful Mario and a bold “Coming Soon” message. Local lifestyle reporters from GMA News Online confirmed the exciting news shortly after the mall made the official announcement.

Fans no longer need to fly to Kyoto or book international shipping for premium gear. The Makati branch promises the ultimate gaming hub for both casual players and hardcore collectors.
- The Ultimate Game Library: Grab the latest gaming consoles, including the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. You will also find physical copies of iconic franchises like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Pokémon.
- Interactive Demo Zones: Test out signature gameplay mechanics before you buy. Dedicated play stations will let you jump right into the action and try out new releases on the spot.
