Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Alicia]

Minus F&F, they screwed that up haha

I dunno, cheesy acting and bad CG effects have been staples of the franchise since the first installment.

Came to catch up on the thread.

Here's an interesting thought. We know Nintendo is coming to Universal parks. It would be interesting to see if Universal Parks come to Nintendo. Could we possibly see Universal parks images and icons appearing in various Nintendo games? It would be great to see that synergy at work.

A Jurassic Park Jeep as a vehicle in Mario Kart would be pretty cool.

True. Even something as basic as clicking on the universal Globe icon and getting information about the Super Nintendo World would be nice.

Still, seeing Universal snuck in as Easter eggs or even possibly a small part of a game would just be cool.

Minions in a Mario game doesn't feel that far-fetched imo.

Throw in a Doc Brown's DeLorean, Dom's Black Charger, and Artemis' red motorcycle.

So Rocket League?

I don't really know where to put this, so I'll just put this here.

Augmented reality will bring together games and amusement parks | VentureBeat

I hope not. We already play games like this. The point of bringing them to a theme park is bringing them into the physical world.

Until Universal make an announcement, this sums up every time I catch up on this thread:

Something randomly overheard, asking if there's any truth to this. A working Mario Kart mockup (sans most theming) exists in one of the USF soundstages?

Probably. They usually have a mock-up for all future projects located in the backstage areas.

I wouldn't put Universal past it, as we have had mockups of Kong and Volcano Bay mentioned to of existed.

Time to go mission impossible I guess.

I mean maybe a small bit of track, not the full ride. They did have the Gringotts green screen for filming and some testing with the ride vehicle in the SS before.

I remember a big curved white wall when walking through Evil Dead at HHN 23....I figured it was for Gringotts

If they're willing to randomly stick in Mercedes huh, this should be a no-brainer.

The Bluesmobile.

With how great the hotels are in Disneyland Paris, DCA and Tokyo Disney Sea, I think a resort built into the park is a must.

You'd think they would have done that with Volcano Bay, but:shrug:

The Cabana Bay Towers are a close second.

Yes... one of the soundstages is packed to the brim with full mock-ups and blueprints/designs.

Good luck getting in there.
