Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

[Jamesh22]

Anyone else want a Piranha plant version of the below when SNW opens?!? No? Just me then... :shrug:

 

[Mike S]

I thought of something recently that I don’t recall being discussed. How different will Hollywood’s version be as a side effect of not having the Yoshi ride? Will there be a different layout, other missing stuff, etc. or will it look exactly the same just without those Yoshi ride vehicles going around?

@Alicia just dropped a bomb over on the SharkStop Podcast....

She says that Pokemon might be coming a lot sooner than we all thought. Uh oh.

Kid Zone!!!!!

 

[Magic-Man]

Kid Zone!!!!!

That's too much to hope for, IMO. It's probably coming to Epic Universe either day one or the year after opening.

Ohhh, day 1 would be sweeeeeet. Pokemon deserves more space than Kidzone has to be honest. This is awesome news!!!

If you follow Alicias Facebook group she actually says work has already started so may not be EU. Hopefully she shows up soon.

Not if they kill Springfield too

But seriously, Studios needs something huge like Pokemon

Depends on where this is happening soon, first haha. If Japan than Kidzone is in play. I don't see Simpsons closing for another 4-5 years at least honestly. Especially when they have a new park to put it at. I always wanted Pokemon at kid zone but I figured it'd open round 2027/2028 honestly with all of kid zone and possibly spinrgfield torn down for it. We shall see but this is exciting! Im intrigued to learn more and see what kind of land they're going to build

To be fair, tons of work is going on for Epic Universe too.

True. So now I am hopefully only 3 years away from getting to interact with a charmander. If they don’t have raptor encounter like areas with Charizards we will be fighting.

Too? Hmmm.

That really wouldn’t be smart to put Mario and Pokemon together in one park from a business sense. Pokemon would be a huge draw to have for the original resort after EU is open.

 

[Alicia]

Too? Hmmm.

*In addition to the stuff we already know about, regardless of where.

(I honestly have no idea where Pokemon things could be going, just that it appears to be happening.)

 

[Viator]

I mean, even without Mario, Pokemon would be a massive IP for wherever Universal would want to take it.

If they got the deal locked in now, that's immediately a good sign to future growth and expansion with Nintendo and their respective game companies.

 

[Imperius]

Here’s the thing. Universal is building EU to make people spend a week at their resort. Putting Pokemon and SNW in EU isn’t a terrible idea because people will still go to the two other parks. They will buy multiday tickets and go to Diagon and Hogsmeade. It’s not like the other parks are awful and have nothing to visit. If Pokemon is easiest to fit into EU opening day, then do it. Much better to have it sooner than later.

If you guys see Pokemon stickers going on the Fast & Furious buses, then we'll know that Universal will fix it's greatest mistake ever. Pokey & Furious. :grin:

And now starting Ryan Reynolds instead of Vin Diesel.

 

[shiekra38]

I'm honestly rooting for re-configuring Springfield AND Kidzone

They could easily retheme everything and blast the hell out of The Simpsons ride

Bring on the H8ters
