READ TIME: 3MINS

Super Nintendo World is an ambitious project for Universal, not just because it’s a world famous intellectual property that they are bringing to life, but also because it’s a “world” that they are planning to bring to multiple parks around the world!

Universal Studios Japan saw the opening of the groundbreaking, immersive Super Nintendo World last year in 2021. Now, with the promise of the land also coming to Hollywood, Orlando and Singapore, we’re left asking the question “when can we expect to see the land open at the other parks?” Well, thankfully, that question has officially been answered for one of the parks on that list! In honor of Mario Day on March 10th (MAR10… ba dum ts) Universal Hollywood officially announced that the new land will open next year, 2023!

So what does this mean for the park? Well, the Future Presentation retail store located in the Upper Lot of the park is being rethemed to Super Nintendo World, and it’s ready to open any day now! Along with the confirmation of the land opening next year, the speculation seems to be pointing to the land opening early summer 2023 to capitalize on the influx of tourists during the busy season. For Orlando, while nothing is officially confirmed, we’re expecting Super Nintendo to open with Epic Universe, which is scheduled to open in 2025. Singapore’s version is going to open with the park’s latest expansion, which is about to begin construction any moment as the Madagascar land is set to close later this year.

But now the discussion is for you! Are you excited for Super Nintendo to be coming to the United States? Will this be a big draw for you to book a trip to any of the Universal resorts that are receiving the land? Let us know down below!
