Video offers first good look at Super Nintendo World at Universal Epic Universe
Universal has released a video showing off the upcoming Super Nintendo World in Orlando.
Featuring Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong Country, the attraction will open in the new theme park, Universal Epic Universe, in the summer of 2025.
Universal Epic Universe will be the fourth theme park at Universal Orlando (along with Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay).
In the video above, the park’s creative team discuss the rides and attractions that will be available to visitors, who will enter Super Nintendo World through the iconic green pipe.
Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge is an augmented reality ride, Mine-Cart Madness is billed as a “thrilling family coaster”, and Yoshi’s adventure is an interactive ride which explores Mount Beanpole and offers unique views of the world.
The first version of Super Nintendo World opened in Universal Studios Japan in March 2021, with a second version opening at Universal Studios Hollywood in February 2023. Another is planned for Universal Studios Singapore.
It was recently claimed that Switch 2’s Joy-Cons will be larger than those on the current console, and will use magnetic suction instead the existing sliding rail technology.
While Nintendo has yet to officially announce a successor to Switch, it’s expected to launch a new console in early 2025.
