How do you know that? Do you know this account?This account isn't a real insider. They're the Samus Hunter of the theme park scene.
I'm in the theme park scene lmao. I've followed rumors ever since I was a little kid.How do you know that? Do you know this account?
Damn, I already sent those tweets to a friendThis account isn't a real insider. They're the Samus Hunter of the theme park scene.
Just to be clear, it still could open on Mar10 Day. This account wouldn't know that though.Damn, I already sent those tweets to a friend
Time to file a retraction..
Ah yeah, broken clock and all thatJust to be clear, it still could open on Mar10 Day. This account wouldn't know that though.
We know it’s real if they tweet about the riff between Chris Pratt and Charlie Day affecting the world premier that you instigated due to their fight for your fandom.Ah yeah, broken clock and all that
If Pratt is fighting for my fandom then he's going about it in the wrooooong way LOLWe know it’s real if they tweet about the riff between Chris Pratt and Charlie Day affecting the world premier that you instigated due to their fight for your fandom.
I can understand the feeling, but the park is just starting out I think it is good to start with Mario and then build out the park with the other IPs.Opening on MAR10 Day is about what I’d expect for a theme park that calls itself “Super Nintendo World” but in reality is just Super Mario World (but not the video game, lol).
Yes, I’m still salty that the park only focuses on the Mario universe with absolutely nothing at all for other Nintendo IPs besides some random Pikmin cameos. =P
How can that even happen when apparently the Hollywood location is already short on space and won’t even have all the attractions that Japan gets? That’s what I recall hearing, at least—if that’s somehow changed then that would be nice.I can understand the feeling, but the park is just starting out I think it is good to start with Mario and then build out the park with the other IPs.
In the time the park will fill out with all of our favorite IPs, we just have to be patient.
Fair enough.How can that even happen when apparently the Hollywood location is already short on space and won’t even have all the attractions that Japan gets? That’s what I recall hearing, at least—if that’s somehow changed then that would be nice.
Regardless, rather than making everything Mario from the beginning (plus the first expansion also being from the Mario universe), they could have at least given us, like, a single Zelda, Pokémon, or Splatoon attraction or something like that. Even the shop is pretty much just Mario themed stuff from what I’ve seen.
And, like, I love Mario too…but when I think of a Nintendo theme park, I imagine something that actually features multiple of Nintendo’s most popular franchises at the very least, not just Mario. The wait has already been so long for this park, and by the time I’m able to visit it it’s still going to be just Mario stuff, so it’s kinda hard for me to even care about it at all…
If it is and always was supposed to be a Mario theme park rather than a Nintendo theme park, then its name should reflect that. =P Nintendo Land it is not, sadly…the theme park is, and likely has been throughout its development, a movie tie-in. Universal isn't making Zelda or Splatoon movies
the problem with making a Mario theme park was always naming it. Super Mario Land? Super Mario World?If it is and always was supposed to be a Mario theme park rather than a Nintendo theme park, then its name should reflect that. =P Nintendo Land it is not, sadly…
Super Mario Kingdom? Super Mario Universe? Super Mario Adventure? The Super Mario Experience? Or even just Super Mario World/Land; why not? There are plenty of options they could have went with if the intention was for it to be a Mario-specific theme park.the problem with making a Mario theme park was always naming it. Super Mario Land?

I think they're probably saving Kingdom and Universe for a rainy daySuper Mario Kingdom? Super Mario Universe? Super Mario Adventure? The Super Mario Experience?

There's Pikmin in there thoIf it is and always was supposed to be a Mario theme park rather than a Nintendo theme park, then its name should reflect that. =P Nintendo Land it is not, sadly…
Like, I get why they may have chosen the name, but that doesn’t mean they should have called it that if it truly is meant to only be Mario themed. It’s kinda false advertising and only leads to disappointment from fans who were expecting something closer to Nintendo Land.I think they're probably saving Kingdom and Universe for a rainy day
by calling it Super Nintendo Land they haven't used a name that would be better for a game
I already noted that:There's Pikmin in there tho
Though I’d hardly count that as anything more than a minor cameo, obviously. There are no Pikmin rides, no Pikmin Power-Up Bands, no Olimar mascot suit, and—as far as I’m aware—no Pikmin items in the shop or café. It’s all strictly Mario universe stuff, nothing more.Opening on MAR10 Day is about what I’d expect for a theme park that calls itself “Super Nintendo World” but in reality is just Super Mario World (but not the video game, lol).

I’d say that the Theme Park was first there as an idea. The whole park is clearly inspired by 3D World and Mariokart 8 visually. Doing a movie with Universal was an obvious step after that. In the end we don‘t know what was there first of course, but I would not call the park a tie-in, it‘s a much higher risk than a movie.the theme park is, and likely has been throughout its development, a movie tie-in.

The problem with that is…how can the park expand to include more IPs in the long run when, apparently, the Hollywood location is already cramped for space and won’t be getting the Yoshi ride, and probably won’t get the Donkey Kong expansion either? Unless I’m missing something here, it seems like that’s just it; there’s no room for any more. That’s why I’d have preferred them to squeeze what they can into the space they’re given rather than use it all on exclusively Mario. Hell, even just having some non-Mario Nintendo-themed stuff at the shop would be something easy they could do that could go a long way towards appeasing fans who want something more than just Mario from Super Nintendo World, but they’re not even doing that.Mario is the flagship IP, if the general public don't show up for it then they aren't showing up for less recognizable IP like Zelda or Animal Crossing. Leading with Mario always made the most sense, it would be nonsense for them to have done otherwise.
Maybe they could've done the 2nd land to be something other than DK but DK needs the win more than the other franchises at this point with how neglected it is from NCL. Universal Creative having an idea for a minecart rollercoaster seems to have been the driving force behind that IP pick which I'm thankful for.
Anyways we already know what IP were in the initial pitch to Nintendo from Universal, and unsurprisingly it was a majority of Mario, with DK getting a coaster and Zelda getting a theater show. Doing separate lands for each IP will get us better attractions in the long run than them all being fit in the same spot.
