Nintendo, Universal Theme Parks Designed To Be Fun
More than a year ago, Nintendo and Universal Parks & Resorts announced that the companies were collaborating on building Nintendo-themed attractions at Universal's parks. While they're still not providing much in the way of concrete details, the pair have released a video that broadly speaks to what they're hoping to accomplish. Spoiler alert: They want it to be fun.
In the video below, you can see Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto and Universal's Mark Woodbury talking vaguely about their goals. Essentially, the parks – which will be at Universal's Hollywood, Orlando, and Japan locations – will be A) interactive B) fun for all ages and C) will have multiple attractions.
They're still in the planning and creative phases, and the parks will open over the next several years.
Our Take
As a person who enjoys having fun, this sounds like it's in my wheelhouse. I only hope that it's a manageable amount of fun, and not so much fun that I become a husk of a person after leaving.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
