Travel Tip: Nintendo Sweden / Bergsala AB
Not one by TWO visits to Nintendo Scandinavia / Bergsala AB.
Welcome home to Marios gata.
Bergsala AB is located in Kungsbacka, which is just half an hour or so from Gothenburg.
Bergsala AB is also known as Nintendo Sweden.
The huge Nintendo sign can be seen from the motorway, and while it is easy to spot, it used to be even easier when there was a tower with Mario on top of it.
I have seen the building and signs before,e but i have never stopped there and checked the place out, so i decided this had to change this year.
Bergsala AB is naturally located on a street named Marios Gata.
Finding the street and so on wasn’t all that hard, but it is funny how something so close to the motorway can be so far away when you drive to it, we had to go in all sorts of roundabouts and odd streets to find it.
Found it, this is the backside of the building and clearly where all the Swedish Nintendo’s comes from – the warehouse.
I am sure a lot of people would love such a sign in their house right?.
The entrance, woohoo.
Oh wait, it is closed, looks like it ain’t open every day in the summer, oh well.
Luckily, i managed to take a few pictures through the windows, looks quite neat inside with all the Nintendo stuff there and all, nice display units and even a pinball machine there too.
I am not sure what one is allowed to do when visiting the place but it is pretty obvious that the couch is already taken.
And that goes for the other couch as well.
Look at that huge monkey donk (my son calls him that), donkey kong of that size looks like a bit of an overkill to some, i guess, but not to a collector hehe.
Ok, so this was all the pictures i took as the rest of the windows was not possible to do pictures from, the building is quite big and i do not know if they do tours or whatever to fans/tourists, what more is there to see?
On top of that column, there used to be a Mario figurine, it is gone now, but it will be back soon, as it was taken down for some cleaning and fixing.
The stop here was ok, shame it was closed.
Have you been inside? Drop a comment, please.
Updated in 2024: We visited again in 2024, pictures below from the new store. Yes, they moved to a different building just next to it, thought I had more pictures but they are gone 🙁 (notice how Mario is back up at least :))
