Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

Well this is ballsy:



And there sits ET... there sits et...

Wow, I thought Zelda would come later...

Could still be a phased approach.

 

[anihilnation]

Is this for real?

 

[Bobharlem]

Is this for real?

If it is, it's a pretty significant leak. (aka save the images now)

 

[Teebin]

Is this for real?

Um... it is kinda sorta real. MC especially. I never got a peek at the DK concepts except I was told it was, at one time, unless I misunderstood, an interior attraction. And then there is Yoshi...

 

[anihilnation]

Indeed, also would mean we get Zelda instead of Yoshi.
Now, if this is real, does anyone have any idea what the Zelda attraction would be? The patent someone posted above is that rotating theater, but I can't figure out at all how it would be used. The Mario Kart ride seems very big, too big perhaps, so I assume that there will be multiple paths to take, this probably would help greatly with capacity as well, and obviously is good for re-ridability.

Here's hoping this is all real. The concept art looks awesome. Surprised that they'd think to put all this in one land though.

 

[Grits0808]

Where would yoshi be? (can't see tell if it's on the map)

 

[anihilnation]

I think perhaps we may not get it after all and we get Zelda instead, or Yoshi is a possible future expansion.

 

[quinnmac000]

It's not. But remember at the beginning Yoshi was going to be a Japan Exclusive.

If these recent leaks are up to date, it might be an expansion into the ET site. I know that the idea was bandied about at one point. Zelda is out of left field for me. I never heard anything about Zelda coming.

Mother of god! Pokémon training academy too. Holy Cow! All those new rides/shows/shops. Sure would be ambitious. I hope there is some truth to this!!!!

Spirit on the other site mentioned Zelda using that moving theatre patent so I guess there must be some truth as that was stated about 3 months ago.

I think in the Osaka thread @Haru also mentioned that Pokemon was coming over there.

I'd swap Zelda for Yoshi. Pokemon and Zelda should be saved for later phases (maybe keep the training academy since it's small and can be moved). What else are they going to have for the third park if they build all of that?

According to this, Zelda is the only attraction (which i guess means show) so i would argue for a park people complain doesn't have shows, it wouldn't be smart to cut it for another ride.

 

[JTslash]

Although there are many people who still love the ET ride, I think Nintendo should take over that part too

 

[Frank Drackman]

So the Mario Kart area also has an attraction on the mid level plus another on the top level...if any of this holds true.
