Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[JungleSkip]

They could put it behind the new Coke thing and give it a Krustyland theme.

This was my dream since day 1 of Nintendo's inception. Would be a great addition to Krustyland. Oh well.

At least Nintendo should be getting a great family coaster.

And hopefully extremely innovative (I'm looking at you separated track patent mine cart)

That I don't know. I'd love that, but a good, family-style coaster is something that Uni's been missing in the US. in that sense, I'll take anything that's a good ride.

I feel like this could solve both. Do you have any insight into when universal will drop our SNL creative mockup? Maybe during the hype for Jimmy Fallon

0.0% chance anything in KidZone (excluding ET) stays. ET has a higher chance of staying. I've always thought the the kiddie coaster would be a good fit around Krustyland.

I really hope Universal isn't done with the Simpsons..A crazy family coaster would be really fun..

I had high hopes for the Mt. Krumpit coaster that was rumored years ago...Perhaps Mario Kart and the rumored DK coaster will satisfy

somewhat like Toon Lagoon

Oh God.

The new Zelda game is now Nintendo's most successful launch-day game. I know it won't happen, but I wonder if, in some room, there's a conversation about adding Zelda to the land somehow...

Next park maybe...I never got into Zelda so I personally wouldn't be as hyped if it stepped on the toes of a Mario/DK based attraction

 

[GadgetGuru]

I always knew Zelda wasn't big, but I didn't realize how big the IP was. I really thought Zelda was a second-tier IP to Mario + Friends. I'm starting to think it's very much a first-tier IP now...

It's been on the back burner for a second phase, and taking the Diagon route, probably in another park. Don't worry.

It has always been a first tier property.

As we've always guessed and anticipated...Which keeps Mike S. happy.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm basically out of the loop outside of Nintendo.

It won't be added to what we're getting first. I still think it'll happen in IoA or Park 3, though.

I wouldn't expect Mario Kart to be coaster-like, unless something's changed I'm not aware of.

I'm starting to really hope a Zelda land could somehow be based on Breath of the Wild. The game is amazing.

Either that or Ocarina of Time.

If they build Zelda and it's not Breath of the Wild-themed they'd be making a huge mistake. Ocarina is great, but Breath of the Wild is BY far more visually appealing. As-is, it'd be really, really easy to retheme Lost Continent into a Breath of the Wild land

 

[anihilnation]

I still think that if they Zelda they should include Death Mountain, especially know that with VB we know how great they can make it look.

I feel like E.T should stay. It's literally the only OG universal attraction left standing. They should just add a small forest around the entrance and make it its own secluded section. Very small tho, but just a little homage to what is a very famous universal film. Nintendo could be built no problem, but universal shouldn't forget that it is a movie based land.

Nah. Nintendo wouldn't go for the retheme route. LC would likely be completely demolished. A Breath of the Wild based Zelda land would actually work great next to Middle Earth.

I've heard UOR has found a new appreciation for ET.

Damn... No Yoshi.

If we don't get the Yoshi ride then they better give E.T. a really good update.
