Super Nintendo World (Osaka) - Donkey Kong Expansion Thread

That concept art really broke us.

But as far as I know, the waterfall was always a part of the plans, so I wonder why it was excluded on that official art.

 

[Jerroddragon]

Yeah, I'm sorry....but this is why I want more Nintendo.

I don’t get how you can look at this and no just be smiling

It opens AND closes?

 

[Carah]

Anyone know when in 2024 this is due to open? We go back to Japan in May 2024 and wondering if we'll just miss it

Just saw this, If you mean the waterfall from the monkey mouth. I believe it will be included in the epic universe build, but not for usj,

Interesting. Must be a water pumping issue for USJ then?

I believe the water feature in front of the ride is shortened, as they lack the space near the ride exit in the courtyard that Epic has.

Oh next week gonna be packed.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I wonder if we’ll get a Nintendo direct for this?

 

[Magic-Man]

I wonder if we’ll get a Nintendo direct for this?

I doubt it, unless it's meant to show the development of the land over time.

 

[Gartooth]

Would the land be far enough in its construction for a Nintendo Direct?

I have a feeling one will happen for DK eventually after Miyamoto did it a few years ago for Mario?

 

[Alicia]

Would the land be far enough in its construction for a Nintendo Direct?

In Japan? Yes.

I don’t think they will, but there’s definitely a lot ready enough to show for sure.

I mean, it should be opening in a few months after all.

 

[saint.piss]

Omg

 

[BatCom]

As previously mentitoned, a media event was held today.

New merch, new artwork and opening window of "Spring 2024" (I don't think the opening window is new)

Looks like the DK area is officially going to have the name of "Donkey Kong Country"
