Miyamoto: Super Nintendo World Will Be “Worth The Wait”, Work On Interior Starts Soon

During Nintendo’s Q&A for investors last week, Shigeru Miyamoto was asked about the progress of Super Nintendo World, and when the public would be able to hear more about it since it’s opening at Universal Studios Japan in 2020.

Miyamoto told the investor that everything is on schedule. As Universal Parks & Resorts owns and operates Super Nintendo World, any announcements will come from them, rather than Nintendo. Miyamoto revealed full scale construction on the interiors of Super Nintendo World is starting, and believes the theme park will be “worth the wait”.

Q6. This is about theme park development. With work progressing steadily to open the theme park by the start of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, I would imagine that a complete view of the project is getting clear inside the company, since itʼs about a year away from opening. Is there anything about this topic you can comment on at this time? Iʼd like to know in which schedule and timing you will announce details.

Miyamoto:

Because the theme park is operated by Universal Parks & Resorts, we cannot talk about anything they have not yet announced. But every effort is being made to advance preparations, and Universal Studios Japan is our top priorities, as is making sure we will be ready by the start of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. After the opening in Japan, “SUPER NINTENDO WORLD” areas will also be built in the parks in Hollywood and Orlando in the US for the enjoyment of everyone.We are in frequent contact with Universal Parks & Resorts, working closely together to develop the theme park from a creative standpoint. Building work on our area at Universal Studios Japan is progressing, and the construction of interiors will be starting on a full-scale operation. Osaka is close to Kyoto, so we check on the progress of the work frequently. I think it will be really worth the wait.
