Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[ThreePack Shagur]

I'd say with good confidence that Nintendo will have a presence in Japan before Orlando.

Like a Meet & Greet or merch. store?

Oh, speaking of M&Gs, allegedly the Nintendo M&G costumes will be super cool

Universal has really been strong on their last couple of Meet & Greets. Transformers & The Raptor are M&G's that even an adult can enjoy. Kudos to Universal.

Huh, and I thought it would just be the same ones they've already been using.

 

[grizzlybarely]

Talking Mario would be really cool. He has plenty of catchphrases.

if there is a Link meet and greet they should get Navi musion or something being annoying with Hey look listen!

Yeah, maybe something like a preview store/M&G similar to USH's Potter store? Or maybe something like Attack on Titan/Biohazard temp attractions.

"Can't let you do that, Comcast!"

It will be the big attraction itself if it happens. Perhaps everything else, but that is beyond my circle of life at this time.

Let me add that there is a big big trick to this attraction but many in UC don't know how they are going to do it... don't know what the big boys at the top of UC have technology wise.

I have researched it myself and the tech seems like a big traffic accident of solutions that don't quite work. I am vexed. :saywhat:

Another mention of Universal Studios, this time by Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime while discussing the new account system ("My Nintendo").

“Meaning playing a smart device app from Nintendo, it recognizes that you’ve done that and you’ll be rewarded for that activity. Purchase games for our dedicated game systems, My Nintendo will know, you’ll be rewarded for that activity. Play games, watch videos, conceptually go to Universal Studios, the thought process is that this is a more robust and sticky way for you as a consumer to interact with all things Nintendo, for it to be tracked, and then for you to be rewarded for all that activity. Given that much larger vision, the mechanics of the program needed to be completely rethought and redone. And that’s why we sunsetted Club Nintendo to create this new program.”

That's..very fascinating. It could mean its either for purchases in the shops, or maybe special perks in the way of interactivity. Either way, that's fascinating.

The antigravity parts in Mario Kart?

Incidentally perhaps, but there are hundreds of other possibilities.

Antigravity and water

So far we've only heard OFFICIAL news from the Nintendo side, right? Nothing from Universal themselves?

The last thing I heard about Okinawa was now for a Disney park, that was a few days ago, although I was half asleep and don't remember where I read it.
