What if they actually do a replica of Nintendo Land? The thought is too much for me to handle. Really good move going with Universal.
Dear lord I've been waiting to hear this for so long....
This is simply one of the best things that I have ever heard. I love theme parks.
Theme park + video game themes sounds amazing.
This is something I can get behind! Glad I stay 2 hours from Universal theme park. First a new Thomas the Tank Engine theme park and now this! Phenomenal!
I was hoping there would be an entire theme park dedicated to Nintendo, but this is a step in the right direction.
What? I must still be sleeping...
Good move Nintendo.
That's cool
YES! FINALLY! I'm all for this!!
Disney should just buy them out. It seems like it's a win for both.
I'm really hoping a sizable portion of this isn't simply reskinning the Marvel rides where the Hulk just turns into "get launched out of a pipe on Yoshi". Was rather disappointing when Harry Potter did the same with Dueling Dragons.
Considering Disney now owns Marvel and most of it's IP's this makes it a no brainer for Universal since they are already having to pay royalties to their competition so getting on board with Nintendo could give both Nintendo and Uni that nice edge.
This is excellent. They should make a seperate theme park in itself rather that just adding Nintendo based attractions to existing theme parks (unless I read the article incorrectly).
