Universal Studios Hollywood is just about ready to officially hit START on their brand new Super Nintendo World expansion and MouseInfo had the chance to explore the offerings of the ambitious new expansion. Officially set to open to the public on February 17, 2023, the land and all of its offerings are currently in Technical Rehearsal which is Universal lingo for a “soft open.”
While the functioning movie studio hybrid theme park does not have the blessing of size, it still packs a world of fun into a very small footprint. Here’s what you can expect in Super Nintendo World starting February 17, 2023. Letsa go!
Shown here is a look at the full interactive digital map of Super Nintendo World setting the stage for your in-person video game adventure. You can see this map inside the Universal Studios Hollywood app and use it to keep track of your adventures with a Power-Up Band.
