Saw a couple people in Cabana Bay wearing Mario / Luigi baseball hats already ... this is going to be the biggest thing in Orlando since HP.

Yeah, people are going to EU mostly for Nintendo-related stuff and stuff that happens to be similar to USJ's version like Yoshi's omiover and DK roller coaster. Man, crowd levels will be insane, not just for the opening day of the new park, but throughout the summer season as well.

It's been so, so incredibly fun to see this phenomenon happen naturally down here. Nintendo merch, apparel, and props are getting more and more common around the parks and general Orlando area and I am so happy to see it.

I remember being in high school when this Universal partnership was first announced, and no one wanting to bring their 3DS to school cause being a Nintendo fan in the Wii U era was the nerdiest, most niche and isolating thing you could be. Nowadays, everyone has a Switch with Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, BotW; Everyone took their family to see the Super Mario movie; you walk into any store or mall and you'll find really high quality Nintendo tie-in products everywhere; kids are dressing as Pokemon, Link, Mario, Luigi, Peach for Halloween again; and of course, we've now got theme park lands at the same level of Potter and Star Wars to call our own.

As a lifelong Nintendo fan, seeing how the Nintendo brand has grown since 2015 and the start of the Switch era has been so absolutely surreal and incredible. From the brink of obscurity and bankruptcy, Nintendo has grown into a cultural titan to rival the biggest brands out there, and all of this without sacrificing the creativity, fun, and high-quality experiences that made me love them in the first place. It's just so cool.

Super Nintendo World Direct happening tomorrow

Nintendo has been very quiet about their next console. However, they’ve been rather open about pretty much everything else. In fact, there has been an alarm clock revealed, as well as a Nintendo Music…

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! So happy to see Miyamoto-san experiencing another Walt Disney moment in a Nintendo themed land with characters of his own creation! I hope I get to cross the country to see this at Epic!

I believe they just keep separate stats per land, as it’s stored in the app for each resort and not in the band is all.
