It’s been a long time coming but Super Nintendo World is almost here at Universal Studios Japan. The theme park, which as of right now is heavily themed to Super Mario, is scheduled to open at the Osaka location on February 4th, 2021.
The news comes alongside several new photos showcasing everything from an imposing Bowser statue to the Mario Kart ride itself.
There’s also a video clip which gets up close and personal with the new fixtures.

Of course, with COVID-19 still disrupting travel across much of the world, it will likely be difficult for foreign tourists to visit the Mushroom Kingdom anytime soon. We’ll be sure to bring you more updates as they come in.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
