Super Nintendo World News Is Imminent, Says Universal Japan

checking how much money I need to visit it

@xpownz I haven't seen any prices yet.

Edit: The video is cool but there wasn't much shown, I guess they can't so much just yet as far as what the rides or attractions will be like.

It's already January 2020.
Seven month later to go August 2020.
Still wonder what we will see after 7 months left ?

@Kalmaro prices for flight, hotels, food in japan, yadda yadda...then add a few dollars for the park entrance and there you have it...kindoff

@xpownz It will be pricey but soooo worth it. I'm excited.

I hope USH gets something beyond Mario Kart from SNW (not counting Secret Lives of Pets Off the Leash which will use the same ride system as Yoshi) I’m personally hoping that one of the restaurants next to the Mario Kart showbuilding is rethemed to a Toad house or Princess Peach’s Castle.

Gee, it sure would be great to have this news as pArT oF a DiReCt

I'm up at that hour anyways, so I guess I'ma have to note this down. 🧐🧐🧐👀

I'll wait for the Universal Orlando version

What's "Universal Japan"? Is it a version of Japan that is consistent throughout the multiverse?
It seems that Super Nintendo is getting into the news business, specifically "world news" and a Japan that may or may not be consistent across the metaverse is reporting on it.

This will probably only be for the one in Japan. Still waiting for info on the US version

Maybe they'll build a bridge from Japan to America one day.

I haven’t taken a vacation in years. This could be a really good one.

Probably announcing a summer opening.

@xpownz
I'm going to Japan in September, and it's going to cost around £5000. Kept in mind, this is for 3 weeks and includes the flights, breakfast, hotels, theme park, tourist attractions, etc. Japan isn't the cheapest country to visit, but I'm sure I will enjoy it.

@matdub
I think they are talking about Universal Studios Japan. From what I heard, the Back To The Future Ride is still there.

@Xylnox The NA park will be sometime after, iirc. Yeah...not sure when but that's some kinda bridge, right? Ha.

@RadioShadow
BTTF the ride closed back in 2016 and is replaced by the not terrible Minion ride. It does use the same ride system as BTTF (unlike in the US parks), so they did have to change some things from the US version to make it work with the ride system (such as a longer intro)

@Lalivero Oh, I didn't know they were making a park in NA. That is cool.

I'm planning a visit to Japan in Sept, I really hope it's open by then.

This feels like a Direct for a theme park area!

I heard donkey kong will kill you if you sneak in.....
All you hear is the DK rap getting louder and louder

I will be in Osaka the last week of June... hope its open!

Nintendo stock will rise to sky when this will open, so many merchandise and money from the park itself will role in

Hadn't heard from it in awhile, so it certainly is good to hear it's on track

It's time but I haven't seen anything aside from that CGI trailer. Was that really it?

@nmanifold

They intend for it to be open before the 2020 Olympics.

There's your answer fish bulb.

I guess the best way to get to the Mushroom Kingdom is to go jump into the nearest pipe I see.

You now how they make CG game promo trailers that show no actual game play? Nintendo just made a CG theme park promo that shows no actual rides 🙄🤦‍♂️

Well I guess waiting in long lines and buying overpriced Toad Mushroom Melts wasn’t exciting enough to make it into the trailer.

I’m sure Wednesday morning when everyone is at work and the kids are in school, the park will be a lot of fun.

What is the point of that video? It looks really uninteresting.

@Agramonte
If you expect to see ride footage of a Disney/Universal ride 5-6 months before it opens. Don't

They dabbed, time to cancel the whole park

@Toy_Link you mean how Disney did 7-10 months before StarWars Galaxy Edge opening

https://www.cnet.com/news/star-wars-galaxys-edge-behind-the-scenes-video-arrives-from-disney/

Since I know someone is going to bring up "Why is it called super Nintendo World, if there's only Mario". I think it's important to note that the design phase for the USJ version was already finished by 2016.

The Zelda franchise hadn't had a huge sales success since Twilight Princess and no one knew that BOTW would be the big sales success it would become, becoming the best selling Zelda game.

Splatoon was too new. Metroid was too dead. Fire Emblem not enough of a wide appeal. etc.

Really other than Mario, the only other franchises that would've made sense in 2016 that appeal to a really broad audience are Smash, AC, and Pokémon .

Smash really doesn't have any interesting locales not from other Nintendo games. AC would be mini land material. Pokémon Company seems to be interested in their own mini Poke fairs.

@Toy_Link

I believe there is already evidence to suggest that there will be attractions from other game series.

Looks like a great big rickroll. See y’all in July.

@Franklin
I could see future Nintendo franchises expansions (especially for Orlando which should already have an additional DK area on opening day), but looking at construction pictures of USJ, it looks just to be Mario right now.
@Agramonte
Galaxy's Edge is a bit of a special case.. Disney was hyping that up to kingdom come as something that ambition and immersion wise would finally outdo that Boy Wizard across the street. It didn't completely meet that goal.

It's not ordinary for either of them to do it so far in advance, for example: SpiderMan Midway Mania, Runaway Railroad, BatB (Tokyo), the Happy ride staring Baymax (actual name) and Ratatouille (WDW) are all opening by the end of this summer and none of them have any footage beyond mockups at Glendale.

A little disappointed that they did not choose Kyary Pamyu Pamyu to make a videoclip.

I didn’t see a single shot of reality here.

So we have:

-Terrible ‘music’
-Mobile Gaming
-An Emphasis on Mario 3D World for some reason?

and no actual footage, just CG nonsense.

I think it’s safe to say this will be deeply underwhelming. It looks like everything I hate about Nintendo’s casual market, which I ain’t.

You can forget your dreams of fan appealing Zelda or Starfox based attractions. This park seems to be all about those casual coins. Did anyone see an actual ride or attraction?

@NotTelevision There’s a pretty big gulf between what you described and ANY kind of footage of an actual attraction.

This was all CG rubbish. It’s the equivalent of a cinematic game trailer. It’s safe to assume that the park is underwhelming if they haven’t actually shown a single second of it in the park’s own trailer, for crying out loud. Isn’t the place pretty much built?

@RickD When this comes to America the blocks will be 4 feet off the ground and there’ll be CPR Toads everywhere.

The song absolutely slaps and I'm here for it. Charli Xcx and Toad is the pop duo the world deserves

That video is just sooo cringe.

I don’t get it. What is this park

Will we just collect virtual coins and make photos with the green background? I want Donkey Kong rides!

Really I just hope that Mario Kart really rocks. Everything that I’ve heard so far about it sounds great, especially the AR elements. But, you never know Universal Creative has made plenty of missteps such as with Jimmy Fallon Tours or King Kong Screen Safari.

Video was fun. Song was fun and actually relevant to the subject matter. Has me hyped for when Super Nintendo World makes it over here in the states

I'm expecting a Mario Bros movie trailer soon, and a new game to go along with its release.

I got goosebumps watching this, however I very much realize that this hasn't shown anything as far as how the bands would function and what rides. Plus for fresh air and exercise I have Pokemon Go...hopefully RingFit if someone buys it for me Looks at NintendoLife Editor

I found it actually very anti-climatic by not showing hardly anything that park go-ers can actually do (other than wear a wristband — I'm sure it wasn't cheap to make the video which is a shame that the resources probably could have been better spent otherwise (at least in my opinion)

No offense, but I guess there are better places to visit in Japan. Let us know how much they want.

I'm definitely excited for SNW as well.
Is DK confirmed for either US Hollywood or US Orlando?
Also, I’m trying to figure out how the Mario Kart ride is going to work. (Is it VR, 4D like Toy Story Mania, or something else?)

@LUIGITORNADO We’ll probably get an update at the end of January when Nintendo has their financial report for the last quarter.
That’s when they have had updates on the Mario Movie for the past 2 years. 😀

"not real gameplay footage"
