Planned Nintendo store in S.F. Union Square has tourists abuzz

SAN FRANCISCO -- Generations of people around the world grew up playing or still play Nintendo games, so it's not surprising that nearly everyone Kelsi Thorud spoke to in Union Square was excited to hear that the company was planning to open a store in the area.'I started playing when I was little, like 6 years old and then I just carried on with the consoles and everything,' said Tracy Turnbull. Tracy Turnbull is visiting from Germany.

Ernesto Novoa is a Bay Area local, and he's not too sure the Nintendo store will bring in the type of business needed to fully revitalize the city. 'Because a lot of the people here that live here are professionals, they live in the city, they're doing finance or tech and I don't know if that demographic has time to play video games,' said Novoa. Ernesto says the city needs to take a broader approach to attract more people here.
