Nintendo And Universal Team Up To Bring Nintendo Attractions To Universal Parks!

Nintendo and Universal have announced a joint venture that will bring all of our favorite Nintendo franchises to life at Universal theme parks!

Promising “spectacular, dedicated experiences based on Nintendo’s wildly popular games, characters and worlds,” we’ll soon be able to expect a day where we can hang out with Mario and friends when on our family trips. While details on what specific games, franchises and attractions will be revealed at a later date, the declaration stating that their “most popular” franchises will be represented as “major attractions” means that we’re pretty much promised Mario and Zelda representation at this point. Ah, if only we could get the Animal Crossing Weed Pulling Experience, or the Earthbound themed, Giygas’ Wild Ride, complete with womb simulation, then I could die happy.

For longtime Nintendo fans, this is very exciting news. This may not be the first time Nintendo and its affiliates have dabbled in theme park shenanigans, (Nintendo’s Six Flags Wii Experience kiosks and the traveling Pokemon theme park in Japan come to mind,) but this event will mark the first full fledged park representation for The Big N. What this attraction will consist of, when it’s arriving and at what parks will participate is still unknown, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted as the news breaks.

What Nintendo franchises are you hoping make an appearance?
