Today in the magical land of Japan, Universal Studios Japan had their (literal) groundbreaking event for Super Nintendo World. On top of finally getting a confirmation that there will be an actual Mario Kart ride heading to the land, we were also teased with a short little concept trailer of the land itself. The video shows Mario entering to the world through a pipe, while they tease being able to visit both Peach and Bowser’s castles. The land is still a far ways off as it’s not scheduled to open until 2020, but hey, it’s fun to think about what this could hold in the future. Check out the trailer below and get ready to buy a one way ticket to Osaka!

 

About 2 weeks ago, Nintendo and Universal teased eager theme park fans about what to expect from the iconic partnership. Today we finally got the answer (kinda.)

Late last night, Nintendo revealed that the now called Super Nintendo World will be hitting Universal Studios Japan by the year 2020, just in time for Japan to host the Olympics. The photo they teased us with is a beautiful piece of concept art featuring the mushroom kingdom in all its glory (green hills, Peach’s castle, Bowser’s castle, etc.).Sadly, no date has been given for a Florida or Hollywood release, but hopefully the company is working on that as well. Another thing to mention is that Nintendo has said that Mario thankfully won’t be the only Nintendo I.P represented by rides and locations (please Please PLEASE! give me my Donkey Kong Country mine cart ride.).
