Nintendo New York is the flagship store of Nintendo and is located in the Rockefeller Center in New York City. Originally called the Pokémon Center, it reopened on May 14, 2005 as the more generalized Nintendo World Store. Samus Aran can be seen on the outside of the store as a silhouette alongside other notable Nintendo characters. The store was closed for renovation in early 2016, and reopened with its current name, Nintendo New York.

The store sells various Nintendo related items like The Legend of Zelda merchandise such as Link plushies and shirts, Mario merchandise such as shirts and plushies and many others like the Pokémon series. The Pokémon series has its own section known as the Pokémon Center (named after the in-game building) due to its success in the media.
