This is what we call fan dedication! Actually, French Nintendo collector, Fabrice Heilig is what we would call a dedicated SUPERFAN!
Not only does Fabrice have an extensive collection of all things Nintendo, he has gone the extra (massive) step to recreate Nintendo’s 19th century Kyoto office in his backyard. Fabrice has created what all collectors yearn for – extra space (to house his collection), which he has done in style and in keeping with his love of all things Nintendo.
We must say, the result is incredible! Fabrice has faithfully recreated the iconic Nintendo building, with a tasteful fit-out to match the traditional Japanese style. If he wanted to charge for visits, we’d be his first customer!
Read more about the process of recreating this amazing building (with a ton more pics!) at Before Mario. This is amazing stuff.
Let the planning begin!
Foundation done and now the framework!
Laying the traditional Japanese roof tiles!
The level of detail is unbelievable – bravo Fabrice!
