Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Galaxy Defender]

I came here to post this. The merchandise for Nintendo is going to be unreal. Once a major announcement is made for Orlando, I'd be surprised if a temporary shop isn't made for CityWalk.

I would sooooo love to have a Donkey Kong/King Kong shirt.

I think all Universal Resort rooms should be Nintendo Enabled. Just pick up a Wii controller from the front desk and play new Nintendo demos in your room for free.

That takes me back to the 90s where rooms had a SNES and a vending machine where you could rent games.

Close, but I want both the big guys on it.

Now this is the kind of comment that gets discussions seriously sidetracked.

I can seriously see Universal doing just about anything to get a Nintendo store in CityWalk. CityWalk needs retail and they need something to differentiate their space from Disney Springs.

Something like this but replace Donkey with Kong and Diddy with Donkey.

"It's on like the Kongs"

I am hoping for a t-shirt with Donkey Kong and King Kong both throwing barrels off the top of a building.

I can't remember, did they start selling Harry Potter stuff in the Universal Studios store for any significant amount of time before Hogsmeade opened?

I want to say not at all. I believe a few items were added when the land opened in June 2010 but was majorly expanded in response to the complaints of the retail spaces being so small, crowded and even having waits to get in.

Even with Diagon, some of the new merchandise didn't come on until it was open for a few months.

Personally, I see Nintendo being a high end retail store that can act as both a little museum of Nintendos history; but also sell merchandise off of their most popular games.

Not to mention the possibility of selling their games, consoles; plus having demos all around of various games. And also some sort of place where tournaments can be held for Universal, it'd be a perfect way to cash in on those wanting to get stuff as they exit out of the park.

Have you see the Nintendo World Store in NYC?

Just got my Nintendo X Vans in and ready to rock them when Nintendo Land opens. These are pretty rad too and the box is amazing. The box looks like the old NES.
