Hooray! Universal Studios Hollywood Will Be Getting Its Own Super Nintendo World

I do hope someday they'll open a Mario park in Europe.

Love the way they can open a whole new world in 1 year yet Disney paris can’t even manage to open a 1 ride world in 3 years

Ugh... but then I'd have to go to California. Or I suppose I can wait until Orlando's location opens up, but is Florida really that much better? Japan is still an option I suppose.

(Only kidding. I'm just an entitled Texan at heart)

I mean I might be able to go, but I live on the east coast over in NC so it’s a long ways away, hopefully the one in Orlando opens soon but I might get to go soon? I doubt my family is going to want to go

Yes! Woohoo! Hopefully restrictions will ease up so I can go!

I do think there will be one in Orlando someday. If not ig we have one in America at least. I would love to go to Japan one day and experience both the country and Nintendo world, not sure if I’d be comfortable on a plane or not unfortunately

Cool. Just in time for me to have moved out of L.A. in 2021

I live on the East Coast, so definitely Orlando for me. But cool to those on the West Coast tho

I hope europe next!

I’ll wait til Florida location opens up.

Hopefully I can go then, I kinda wanna see California some more anyways, I only spent a week and still didn't see too much.

@Desrever Florida....SUCKS. Okay probably not, but I've lived there until recently, I was just sick of it. xD

So yeah, Cali better, lol

Edit: Never mind, I don't know why I thought it was the Florida theme park...

Are people in the US really not willing to take a 4-hour flight to go to the west coast to see something they love. Crazy to me as a Canadian that would fly to California for a nice Vacay and Hang out with Mr. Mario.

@Degenerate_Mii Do you mean that people are moving out of Hollywood? Because I don't really think that that would affect the insane amount of tourism very much.

Glad it’s in Hollywood! For obvious reasons, can’t exactly elaborate on why I’d absolutely not go to Florida anytime soon but despite being the opposite side of the world, I’ll take Cali any day.

@honshu
I guess it's different mindsets when it comes to vacationing. If one takes a vacation, the closer the better, as it would be within a reasonable driving distance.

Taking a flight, you now have to factor in additional costs, such as the flight itself, vehicle rental if necessary; this on top of the usual expenditures (lodging, food, etc.). Not to mention planning around the flight itself; how to get to the airport, setting aside time in case of delays.

It's a lot more work, and I feel if the trip requires it, that it be a more involved affair, requiring more time and planning, and thus if you're going to go through the hassle, may as well be a longer trip.

Just my two cents as a yank.

Definitely bucket listing this, though I do admit it would be easier and cheaper for me to travel to Universal Orlando. Either way, I'd almost have to fly. #YayMidwest

Kind of a stupid place to open that in the US lol. Guess CA really wants to stick it to FL. I mean who wouldn't want to spend time in the ass end of the US.

The sites in CA are awesome, the people and their cities.... not so much.

@Desrever as an entitled Texan.... you should really remember the Free State of Florida is infinitely better than California in pretty much every way.

@Desrever As a CA resident, just wait for Orlando’s. It’s not worth coming here

@NotSoCryptic 🔥🔥

Waiting on the Orlando park to open, it'll probably be superior too, just like how Disney World is better than Disney Land.

@Desrever FAIR ENOUGH LOL, California kinda sucks.

This is such a disappointment. California is garbage. I'd much rather see this park opening in Florida. I would genuinely just go to the park in Japan instead and I live in the U.S. Bad look Nintendo.

This feel like a letdown to be honest, this is Mario Day and all we got is an announcement for Super Nintendo World coming stateside in 2023? The least Nintendo could've done is announce a new Mario Odyssey, remake of an older title or even drop the trailer for the Mario Movie.

@honshu people fly all over the place for a lot of things. But LA is one of the worst places on earth right now.

@Degenerate_Mii

What timeframe are you putting on a "few years"?

And what defines a state being "dead"?

I would love some big rollercoasters, the ones in Japan look a bit tame.

@Degenerate_Mii

You do comment on rumours and speculation,
hence my quoting of you.

It'll take at least a year before the crowd becomes tolerable.
I'll hold off on any version until the DK coaster opens. The Mario Kart ride never actually moving fast reduced my desire to visit.

ACTUALLY SCREAMING YES LET'S GOOO

Kids: "Daddy we want to go to Disney Wor.."
Me: "NO! We are going to Super Nintendo World!!!

In this comment section: California sucks.

@Hero-of-WiiU theres a Super Nintendo World in Florida that is planed to open in 2025/2026

@ATaco why?

Y'all talking about how much of a disappointment this is for not opening in Florida... they're building it in Orlando right now. Just wait a few years LOL.

guys its a theme park im sorry if it makes you mad

in my next trip to USA, i need urgently to visit Super Nintendo World when it open on florida.

@Lord the French work at a more relaxed pace 😂

@Giancarlothomaz Not really sure tbh. That's the predominant sentiment in the comments.

@nessisonett I definitely understand. It would have been nice to spend less on a plane ticket to go there, but I'm perfectly fine with it being in LA.

waiting for orlandododododo

I am stoked that we'll be getting one sooner than the one that's opening in Florida in 2025. Why the gap between next year and 2025 though I probably won't know. But excited to take one or more of my gaming buddies to this hopefully if COVID-19 stays out of this

@NotSoCryptic nope florida is not better then california.

@KingBowser The one in Florida is being built in Universal's entirely new themepark Epic Universe, thats why it's longer

Epic Universe in Orlando will be a huge improvement over anything California has to offer. Florida is where it's at. As a fellow Texan who has spent way too much time in both CA and FL Florida is the way to go!

California's version of Universal Studios is like a big old participation trophy. Florida Universal is really mind blowing (Harry Potter World, Marvel Superhero Island - Spiderman 4D ride, Hulk Coaster, it's all just so amazing). Do NOT waste time on the Fast & Furious ride, though. It leaves guests Lethargic & Pissed.

@MostHandsieBoy You realize besides going to see Mario world there are actually other quite amazing places in California. LA sure isn't everyone taste but you don't need to spend all your time there. Its easy to say the same about Florida.

@Browny I understand where your coming from just generally I personally don't let a distance for a vacay dictate where I want to go. If I want to go somewhere I make the plans and I just go. Life is to short.

Neat. I'm not really a "go on vacation" or "leave the apartment" kinda guy tho

Jesus, so much California hate around here. As a transplant to SoCal myself I get that its not everyone's taste, but letting your politics keep you from something you'd otherwise enjoy is kinda mind boggling. I guess enjoy your self righteousness? As someone who lives down the street from Universal, I'm stoked!

To be fair though, when it's eventually in Orlando it will likely be bigger, as the Universal City plot is limiting. I'll gladly go there too

If the Europe version ever opens, you'll probably still have to wear a mask.

Well we knew that. I'm pretty sure it was mentioned at some point.

@OnlyItsMeReid Don't worry, I'm sure they'll probably open it up in Florida too.

@honshua Maybe it's not that they're unwilling, but with prices skyrocketing, people struggling with finances, and everything else going on, it's prob not a good time to plan big expensive vacations.

If there is really only 2 rides in the Japan Theme Park, then that park is WAY overrated!!!

I heard Disney World in Florida was supposed to get a Super Nintendo World in 2025.

Is that still on?

Is it a full blown standalone park like the one in Japan or more like a subsection of the Universal park?

Glad it wasn’t canceled due to COVID19. Will go sometime during opening year.

I was hoping to go to Florida next year as I never been to Disney World only Disneyland California. But now I am wondering if I should go to California, it will be my only chance to see Nintendo World.

@honshu why yes, I do realize that. Do you realize their are airports in California that are not in LA? I can fly to any one of them and not be in LA.

LA is the pits no rational person would spend a second in that awful place.

@StefanN it appears to be a subsection. Land, and permits, ain't cheap in SoCal.

@SportyMarioSonicMix similar to early Disney. Ifyou haven't noticed Nintendo is making a play on becoming the video game equivalent of Disney.

@SportyMarioSonicMix Not Disney World, Epic Universe that is being newly built.

@SportyMarioSonicMix Yes - Universal is moving full steam ahead with "Epic Universe" in Orlando. Instead of just patching Nintendo World into the older Universal park they are building a massive, separate theme park on its own (with Nintendo Land, Universal Classic Monsters - Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.). Check out the planned maps for Epic Universe online, it is really impressive.

I luckily live in Southern California and have a Universal Platinum pass. Every time I'm there I see the construction area and it makes me over the hill excited You get a good look of it on the escalators on the way down to the lower lot where it's at. I'll definitely be dropping by once that store opens. They've had a small area already of stuff and I got a dope Mario Kart shirt. Looking forward to boozing on Duff Beer while walking around Nintendo World!

…….…I don’t understand how this article is “news” when it was already announced years ago this would be arriving to Universal Studios Hollywood….I suppose the opening date?

Makes sense to open this up in the original theme park anyway, as LA is the entertainment media capital of the world.
