Super Nintendo World, coming to Universal Studios Japan by 2020!
$432 million Super Nintendo World is coming to Universal Studios Japan by 2020
So... who's going?
Universal Studios Japan will be the first site for "Super Nintendo World", a themed area with rides and attractions featuring the gaming giant's famous characters, the two companies said on Monday.
The area will open in time for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and will cost more than 50 billion yen ($431.78 million).
In November, Nintendo announced that it would be creating Nintendo-themed areas in Universal Studio locations in Japan, Orlando and Hollywood. The announcement on Monday confirmed the timeline, cost, first location, and features of the area.
"Super Nintendo World will be comprised of expansive and multilevel environments filled with unprecedented, state-of-the-art rides, interactive areas, shops and restaurants, all featuring Nintendo's most popular characters and games," Universal Studios Japan, said in a press release.

Damn, nearly half a billion dollars to develop one area of a theme park? That has to be some sort of record. I'll go if they let you use your amiibo to skip the lines 
bump!

My wife's family lives in Yokohama and we are planning on going back next Summer (COVID dependent). My boys (7&3) have gotten really into Mario games. This is a no brainer, looking forward to checking it out (as well as riding the only remaining Jaws ride).
