There's a couple around the country, and Joe Santulli of Digital Press Videogames just did a kickstarter that raised a lot of money to start building one on the West Coast. Who knows when work will be underway and started though...Quote:

I was slightly disappointed since I literally expected almost everything to show up, being a museum and all. They had all major consoles and handhelds on display though, including the Nomad. I think I remember seeing a series of Game & Watch stuff too. There were tons of cabs set up with consoles inside them ready for play. I remember seeing one rigged up for a SNES with Super Mario Kart, a Game Cube with Sonic Mega Collection, and an area that had a huge screen with 4-player SSBM setup.
The Museum of Play in Rochester NY is the preeminent video game museum in the United States. Though just like the Smithsonian, and I imagine with the Digital Press effort, these organizations are so US-centric that they really do the history of videogaming a disserviceQuote:
