Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[happy bunny rabbit]

But one of the things that makes Pokemon a bit unique is the constant addition of characters; if there's a way to make an experience that can change easily to incorporate different groups of the 800+ Pokemon and introduce some "replayability" then it makes sense to have something like that.

I think it could have SOME screens, maybe more background stuff and not the focus of the scene, and they could update those, but I hope they have some impressive AAs for the most popular and beautiful Pokemon

i think a better question would be what generation would universal use for Pokemon.I'm hoping for gen 1 bc its the best.

I imagine the gen with the most representation will be 1, I imagine somewhere around half

Also I love how we're speculating on a dark ride that has not been rumored at all haha

Yea. Best thing for Pokémon would probably be a mix of AAs and screens. AAs for franchise favorites, screens to change it up a bit for reridability/new game promotion

In the same Theme Park University article that shows that ride system, they themselves admit that is not what Mario Kart will be using.

Click-Bait article is click-baity... but at least they admit it. :shrug:

Good, because that ride system looked really bad. I agree with the poster that said we want to be able to experience the scenery....not spend the whole time trying to control our car like a spinning teacup.

So, following today's Direct, I have a question I hope @AliciaStella can answer..

Is Captain Toad coming to SNW as apart of Yoshi?

I do not know who that is... but yet I can emphatically say, yes. Yes, he is.

Then allow me to indluge you in a taste of the magnificence that is Captain Toad..

Just to give an example of how popular Nintendo will be...the video below is from today at the Nintendo New York store...this was Nintendo announcing Super Smash Brothers coming to switch.

I think yeah, they have a rabid fanbase, but theme parks need GP appeal to be successful, I agree Nintendo will be very profitable at Universal wherever it goes, but this doesn't really prove that to me

Captain Toad ride would be nice!

The Nintendo community (gaming) have yet to be introduced to the parks. Universal nor Disney have never really attempted to do video game franchises. Nintendo will bring in new guests to the park that have hey to come (like Potter). Nintendo, just like Star Wars and Marvel, its a household name. It's popular and has a wide age range.

Universal never had video games in the park, huh? Then explain THIS!

Honestly don’t think the Nintendo crowd is an untapped market. Most the people who are coming to a Nintendo park have already been in the parks IMO. Probably a lot of crossover between Harry Potter, Nintendo, Star Wars, and Marvel groups.

Hoooooooo boy do I disagree. It's anecdotal, of course, but when Uni and Nintendo announced it I had a ton of friends commenting on Facebook that they would be going to Universal for this.

Even if there is crossover, it's going to bring all those people back to the parks for sure.
