For many people, Pokémon Center Singapore is one of the highlights of their trips to Jewel Changi Airport.
Come 17 Nov, another Japanese gaming company will be making their presence felt at the iconic shopping mall.
For nearly two months, Nintendo will be holding a pop-up store inspired by some of their most popular game titles.

Nintendo will unveil more of these merchandise items in time to come.
Those with a Nintendo account can also ‘check in’ at the store to collect stickers.
To verify their attendance, users only need to present a QR code — available near the store’s entrance — to a staff member.
There are 18 sticker designs available and users will get one at random for checking in each day.

In addition to the in-store offerings, Jewel Changi Airport will also be hosting a Super Mario-inspired event from 17 Nov till the end of this year.
