A special Nintendo Direct later today will show the Donkey Kong area in Super Nintendo World
Nintendo will hold a special Direct presentation today, dedicated to its latest theme park attraction.
The Donkey Kong Country expansion for Super Nintendo World is set to open in Universal Studios Japan later this year.
The new Super Nintendo World Direct stream, which shows off the area in more detail, will air today at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm GMT.
Nintendo stresses that the 10-minute stream will be dedicated solely to the Donkey Kong Country area, and that “no game information will be featured”.
Donkey Kong Country was originally supposed to open in the Japanese theme park this past spring, expanding the size of the existing Super Nintendo World by 70%.
However, Nintendo confirmed back in April that the area had been delayed until the end of 2024.
The new Donkey Kong Country area is set to include a new roller coaster based on the games’ mine cart rides.
The coaster’s cars are elevated and placed over a fake track, designed to make it look like the player is jumping over gaps and breaks in the track.
