Though many video game companies have thrived during the coronavirus pandemic thanks to digital sales, with the NPD Group reporting that American consumers spent $11.6 billion on games in Q2 2020<\/a>, physical storefronts have not been as lucky. However, parts of the world and the United States in particular are beginning to open up again, as evidenced by the Nintendo Store in New York City announcing it will accept\u00a0general admission again starting tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Nintendo New York re-opened August 7 on a reservation basis<\/a>, with customers able to shop for 30-minute intervals between limited periods of time on Tuesdays through Sundays. There will still be limitations in place for the store’s wider\u00a0opening, with customers being asked to limit their time and follow proper safety procedures like wearing masks, using hand sanitizer, and following floor markers throughout the space.<\/p>\n

Arguably the biggest limitation for prospective customers is that Nintendo<\/a> New York will not accept cash payments, according to its official Twitter post earlier today. Rather, everyone\u00a0will be required to use credit, debit, or some other contactless method like Apple Pay. The amount of people allowed in the store at once will also be limited to an unspecified number on a “first come, first served” basis, despite the lack of reservations.<\/p>\n
