It's the second mall store in Europe and the first in Germany: Nintendo is opening a pop-up store at Westfield Ruhr Park in Bochum, available in March and April. It will also hold the first German selection of toddler line My Mario.
From March 19 to April 11, 2026, Nintendo will open its first Pop-Up Store in Germany. The German Nintendo Pop-Up Store follows the concept of the London Nintendo. It s the second Nintendo store of its kind in a shopping center in Europe.

The store is part of Westfield Ruhr Park in Bochum, at Am Einkaufszentrum 1, 44791 Bochum. Apart from the expected merchandise selection, the store will also hold the first official product line of toddler series My Mario in Germany.
