Latest Nintendo theme park images show more construction

Further images showing the construction of the Super Nintendo World theme park at Universal Studios Japan have been published.

Twitter user @lcastudios_usj has been documenting the progress of construction, which began in June 2017 and is set to be completed ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games next spring.

Super Nintendo World will house themed attractions, shops and restaurants. Universal Parks & Resorts CEO Tom Williams recently said it will initially include two rides, Super Mario Kart and Yoshi’s Adventures.

The park also feature an interactive element involving magnetic bracelets that guests can use to interact with the land’s environment.

Visitors will be able to track “scores” gained through interactions and rides, said Williams, and this scorekeeping will interface “with your game console so you can build on it and come back again”.

Following the Japan opening, Super Nintendo World is scheduled to come to Universal’s Orlando, Hollywood and Singapore parks, although a timeline for openings outside of Japan hasn’t been announced.
