Nintendo Museum is a collection of old Nintendo games (Arcade, NES/Famicom, SNES/Super Famicom, Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy, Super Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance) and was developed by Nintendo EAD. It was released on Nintendo Switch on September 23, 2019. This compilation is based on the NAMCO Museum series.
There are 5 different volumes available. (with more of them getting made). Each volume has five to eleven games; all of these were ported from the original game's source code (albeit with tweaks and updates).
Each volume also had a "museum" mode where the player could walk through a virtual museum containing various curiosities surrounding the games including images of the mainboards, marketing material and conceptual artwork (all from the Japanese and American releases; none of the volumes contain any European materials).
Mario can be seen as a tour guide in the edge of the screen on a "museum" mode and in the every volume's intro.
