Long wait is over. Next Spring in Japan, Super Nintendo World will open its doors. The company unveils the announcement of Nintendo World opening in a YouTube teaser of CG-video with the song of Galantis and Charlie XCX as its soundtrack. Previously, Nintendo's theme park was supposed to be open this summer of 2020, ahead of the Olympic Games.
In this photo provided by Nintendo of America, fans of all ages experience fun photo ops, game demos and other Luigi’s Mansion 3-inspired goodies at a preview event in Los Angeles on October 18, 2019. Luigi’s Mansion 3 is the latest game in the Luigi’s Mansion franchise, with Luigi returning as the reluctant and cowardly hero, tasked with saving his friends from a spooky hotel. Luigi’s Mansion 3 launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system on October 31, 2019.
However, the video didn't showcase what the themed park looks like. Instead, it showcased a dance sequence and unrealistic segments, showing how players go from hanging out at home with their Nintendo Switch to enjoying a real-life experience.
But, a website was also launched to describe what the visitors would experience. The site mentioned that families are allowed to travel the park on Yoshi's back, the fictional green dinosaur in Nintendo's published video games.
Super Nintendo World means you can now step into a real-life Mario Kart race!

It added that the visitors will be provided with a "power up band," which appears to be the wearable to enter the Super Nintendo World. On the other hand, Bloomberg reported that the band and a smartphone app will allow guests to battle bosses and collect coins, based on a briefing with J.L. Bonnier, the Universal Studios Japan's CEO.
What to expect with Super Nintendo World
Super Nintendo World will have state-of-the-art shops, rides, interactive areas, and restaurants. All of these will feature Nintendo's most popular games and characters.
The opening schedule was moved next Spring in 2021 because of the ongoing global pandemic caused by COVID-19. To give the Japanese residents an advanced experience, a "Mario Cafe & Store" will open next week, on Oct. 16 in Universal Studios Japan.
In this photo provided by Nintendo of America, a select group of kids enjoy meeting video game luminaries Shigeru Miyamoto, (R), the creator of Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, Takashi Tezuka, (L) the creator of Yoshi games and Tsunekazu Ishihara, (center rear) president and CEO of The Pokemon Company International on June 11, 2014 in Los Angeles, California. The kids got hands-on time with the hottest new games for the Wii U console and the Nintendo 3DS system, including a world-exclusive look at Fossil Fighters Frontier, an upcoming game for the Nintendo 3DS system launching in 2015.
Nintendo also showed off some of the branded merchandise and food the visitors can buy. These include a super mushroom drink, some cute Mario and Luigi hat-shaped pancake sandwiches, pouches, t-shirts, and cushions. You can check this website for more images of the Super Nintendo World.
