The opening for the Super Nintendo World land at Universal Studios Japan has once again been delayed. The land at the theme park was set to open on February 4th after it was originally going to open in Summer 2020 alongside the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics.
The number of COVID cases has begun to rise in Japan once again and the Osaka region has once again been closed in a state of emergency.
"As a result of careful consideration of the current situation from various aspects when issuing the 'State of Emergency' to Osaka Prefecture on 13th January, the new area 'Super Nintendo World' scheduled for 4th February ... will be postponed after the state of emergency is lifted," reads a post on Universal Studios Japan website and translated by Eurogamer.
"We sincerely apologise to all the guests and stakeholders who are looking forward to the opening. The opening date will be decided and announced after the 'state of emergency' is lifted."
