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!

 

Earlier this year it was announced that Nintendo would be partnering with Universal Studios in order to create new rides and lands for their parks.

While originally planned for Universal Hollywood and Florida, it seems like their vision for the project has expanded. The video below talks a bit about what both companies are planning on contributing to the deal, as well as the new announcement that this new area will now be coming to all 3 Universal locations! Nintendo has promised even more details soon, but in the meantime, it’s nice to dream. What are your thoughts on the announcement video? Tell us in the comments below.
