Super Nintendo World will open its doors to eager fans at Universal Studios Hollywood on Tuesday, February 7, 2023 and on a number of high-profile entertainment and news sites such as Los Angeles Times and Diversity they got access to the beautiful park to take a peek and take some nice photos of the experience along with impressions, which are worth reading on the two websites above.
“There is a story behind this whole experience, after passing through one of Mario’s signature green pipes, guests will find themselves in the castle of his beloved Princess Peach, who has just had her golden mushroom stolen. Part of our mission is to help her get it back. This is the reason and purpose of many interactive games. But clearly the order was that this was not going to be a place where you were going to play video games. This is where you will go in video game.”
“I definition of games is maybe a little different. I know some people like to say if the experience is somehow keeping score, it’s a game. There are other attractions that, on a one-dimensional level, kept the score. But from a fully immersive aspect, everything you do here is connected to your Power-Up Band. Then, dive into the reality of the Mario Kart driving experience, where you have AR glasses, physics sets, video mapping, LED projection — you’re in a full game that’s unique every time based on what you do. It’s pretty much next level.”
