New year, new game room? Whether you’re converting a spare bedroom, finishing a basement, or just carving out a corner of your living room, here’s how to create the ultimate Nintendo-themed gaming space.
The Display Setup
For modern Switch gaming, a 4K TV with good HDR and low input lag is ideal — the Switch outputs at 1080p docked, but a quality 4K TV with good upscaling makes a noticeable difference. For retro gaming, consider keeping a CRT TV. Games designed for CRT displays look and feel better on them, especially light gun games.
Shelving and Display Cases
IKEA Kallax shelves are the collector’s best friend — the cube compartments are perfect for displaying amiibo, game boxes, and collectible figures. Add LED strip lighting behind shelves for a professional display look. Our collectibles section has plenty of display-worthy pieces.
Seating
Invest in a good gaming chair or a comfortable couch — you’ll be spending hours here. For retro gaming sessions on the floor (as nature intended), oversized floor cushions or bean bags work great. Our Pokemon Snorlax Bean Bag Chair is literally made for this.
The Finishing Touches
Wall art, LED signs, and themed decor bring it all together. Our Splatoon Inkling LED Sign and Question Block Lamp are popular choices. Frame some game manuals or posters for an authentic touch.
