In an interview earlier today with Game Watch, Shigeru Miyamoto says he would like hardware to have a lifespan of longer than five years and that if a lot of people bring their Nintendo Switch consoles to Super Nintendo World then there is a possibility of interaction between the attraction and their Switch. Miyamoto selected a Mario Kart attraction and says it is a “it is a completely new style”.
Miyamoto again emphasises that he wants Super Nintendo World to help introduce their IP to young people and not just their existing fan-base as “gaming machines are not necessarily the first digital equipment [anymore]”. Nintendo wouldn’t be able to undertake such a venture without Universal Studios’ help as they would “need to hire tens of thousands of people”.
The article also states that part of the group supervising Nintendo’s characters have moved to the United States and are in direct communication with Seattle and Orlando Universal Studios. Miyamoto says that Universal Studios are huge fans of Nintendo and “know better than we [do]!” and claims that late President Hiroshi Yamauchi once said “We could make a Nintendo Park in Kyoto.”
The total cost of all the attractions is over 60 billion yen and that multiple attractions are planned other than the recently announced Mario Kart. There is no answer yet to the question of a Super Nintendo World in China and the focus is on opening up Super Nintendo World “while looking at the long-term vision”. Super Nintendo World is expected to open in time for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
