Not going to lie, the land looks like a one and done kind of experience. The mini games are awesome but they're highly simple. I feel like the novelty might wear off a bit over time.
That's a big might.

Nintendo just needs to bring in non-Mario things into the park as soon as possible. Apart from Pikmin, everything in the park is Mario-related. This might be off-putting for those who are Nintendo fans but don't have much interest in Mario. Even the DK area that will be part of SNW soon can be seen as "Mario-related", since DK always appears in some Mario games like Mario Party. SNW currently looks just as awesome as Harry Potter, but it can wear off a bit over time.
Potter’s interactive wands do the same thing every time, and yet I’ve never heard anyone ever complain about those.I also don’t get the “this isn’t built for repeat visits”. Most park lands aren’t?

With the stamps to earn in Nintendo, and a way to keep track of your score, I’d say it’s far more repeatable. But again, this isn’t really a real problem in practice .
Yes, big time. The parks to us out of state tourists are often quite a different experience than locals, that go often. We also tend to appreciate the 'full experience', not just limited to rides. Even though I'm an AP holder, and go at least two Orlando vacations in normal times, the park experience always seems as new and fresh as my first trips. There's a lot to do and experience, even if there's not a new ride...... In actuality, in my personal case, a new ride never ever actually influences whether I'll make the trip. it's just icing on an already baked delicious cake.MOST guests only do a park once every few years, maybe once a year. Only fans/passholders repeat experiences ad infinitum. The biggest market for the major parks is the once every few years/once a year guests-- they spend on hotels, food, and merchandise far beyond what most passholders spend. It's a splurge and they spend to get the full experience. Yes the novelty will wear off if you go once a week, but for most guests that's not the reality.
People go to Disney with the same attractions year after year and love it BECAUSE it's the same (in fact they complain when it's not).
7 years old and everywhere you turned kids and adults were having a BLAST with them, just last month.Potter’s interactive wands do the same thing every time, and yet I’ve never heard anyone ever complain about those.

The reason they can limit it to locals and not allow others from outside to visit is that they’re keeping number of cases down by not allowing others from outside visit.So Japan won't even let vaccinated tourists in though the Olympics yet the locals can crowd it up here. Total clowns.
An unvaccinated local isn't safer than a vaccinated tourist. By the time the Olympics roll around and we have even more data people are going to be laughing at their paranoia.The reason they can limit it to locals and not allow others from outside to visit is that they’re keeping number of cases down by not allowing others from outside visit.

Mario has the greatest reach of all the Nintendo franchises. They definitely need some Pokémon stuff too (as long as they can work something out with TPC). But other than that, what other Nintendo stuff do they need to get ASAP?Nintendo just needs to bring in non-Mario things into the park as soon as possible.

I realize Zelda and Animal Crossing have had a recent (unusual) surge. Zelda is definitely fit for a ride. Animal Crossing maybe a store or restaurant. What else do they have? Kirby maybe, but how many people actually play Kirby, versus those who know him from Smash. Star Fox, Metroid, Kid Icarus, F Zero, and Earthbound are all incredibly niche. Splatoon maybe?
Mario and Pokémon are the big two.
