Here’s a look at Nintendo of America’s old headquarters being torn down and replaced with the new and improved NOA HQ, which houses cool things like an employees only Nintendo World Store, a new Cafe Mario employee restaurant, a big top floor conference room named Master Sword, and a directional system that separates the building into color coded quadrants named after Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario. This 300,000 square foot complex is as cool as it gets.

This is what NOA’s headquarters looked like for years.

This is what the old Nintendo building looks like now.

Nintendo is still in Redmond, Washington.

Nintendo of America’s new HQ sure is nice.

I never got a chance to visit the old Nintendo HQ, but hopefully will get the opportunity to go to the new one eventually. When I do (because I sure plan on it), I’ll be sure to come back with a fun story and cool pictures.
