Annunciato a dicembre 2016, Super Nintendo World sarà il parco divertimenti made-in-Nintendo in collaborazione con Universal Studios.
Universal Studios Japan ha precedentemente annunciato che l’apertura del parco divertimenti a tema Nintendo si terrà prima delle Olimpiadi di Tokyo 2020.
Ora, diversi anni dopo l’annuncio, è sbucato in rete un concept che mostrerebbe l’aspetto e alcuni punti chiave del parco divertimenti.
Guardate un po’ qui:
Ecco alcuni punti chiave dell’attrazione:
- Gli ospiti entrano nel parco attraverso la facciata del Castello di Bowser
- Presente un cartello con la scritta “Mario Kart”
- Disponibili nel parco i servizi di ristoro “Toadstool Cafe”
- Presente un tour familiare chiamato “Yoshi’s Adventure”
- Il Donkey Kong Country sarà situato sotto la “Yoshi’s Adventure” e sarà accessibile tramite un tubo
- L’aereo di Funky Kong sarà adibito a negozio di articoli da regalo all’aperto
- La casa sull’albero di Donkey Kong fa da sfondo ad un palcoscenico di incontri
- Ci saranno personaggi interattivi nel parco, come Rambi il rinoceronte
- L’attrazione principale sono le montagne russe
Vi ricordiamo che tutto ciò non è ancora stato ufficializzato da Nintendo ma se anche la minima parte di questo si rivelerà reale non possiamo che non prenotare un viaggio in Sol Levante.
Vi lasciamo con il comunicato ufficiale, in lingua, di Nintendo rilasciato a dicembre 2016:
