Nintendo is finally getting their own theme park (area). In February, Universal Studios Japan plans to open a $580 million Nintendo attraction, “debuting a long-delayed effort to introduce Mario and other beloved characters to real-world theme park visitors.” Super Nintendo World is expected to be a “life-sized replica” of Nintendo’s most popular games with rides, shops, and walk-through activities. One of the first attractions will be an AR Mario Kart roller coaster inside of “a recreation of Bowser’s Castle.” Visitors will be able to collect virtual coins by wearing wristbands while they explore and interact with various park features through a Switch console.
