Variety: Miyamoto Hints at Super Nintendo World Theme Park’s ‘Synergy’ With Gaming Side

delete12345 · Jul 9, 2018

Just quoting the important part:

"A lot of people who are mothers and fathers today are from a generation that grew up playing Super Mario, and they are now playing products like 'Nintendo Labo' together with their own children," Miyamoto said. "There are a lot of families like this not just in Japan, but also around the world. When such families visit these theme parks to experience Nintendo's worlds that have been carefully crafted and to interact with our characters, I think we can expect to see synergy with our dedicated video game platform business."

How would this be done at Nintendo Parks?

They'll probably have demo stations there to help advertise their games. Probably nothing more than that.

Yeah, this, or like cosmetic items you get in game if you put in a code you get from going to the park, or something.

I bet they'll make use of this there.

$10 says they let you skip lines or something using Amiibo.

I don't think there's much point as once I try out the rides, I'll have no reason to play the games

It just sounds like a bunch of generic corporate speak, not hinting at anything.

I understand that reference

SinCityAssassin · Jul 9, 2018

I remember an old bullet point where MyNintendo got you points for entering the theme park.

crimsonheadGCN · Jul 9, 2018

You'll probably gets coins for My Nintendo and maybe some cosmetic stuff for certain games.

GulAtiCa · Jul 9, 2018

Kinda related, but has there been any progress on the theme park area yet? I hope it's not too long till they break ground at Orlando.

Chessguy1 · Jul 9, 2018

exclusive downloadable demos if you bring your switch to the park

UltraMagnanimous · Jul 9, 2018

You're reading too much into it.

Visiting the parks will awaken nostalgia in the parent and make them more likely to buy NIntendo hardware and games for their children.

Andri · Jul 9, 2018

Its just advertising in another form.

People going to the theme park will be exposed to as much Nintendo ip as possible, which is great advertising.

Probably also going to have a big Nintendo Store(like the one in NY) at every Park.

Something kinda related, Imagine how huge and hype Nintendo Direct Airings will be in these Parks.

Not much. There are a lot of rumors, including that it could wait until Universal's third park.

I haven't seen a Disney movie since visiting Disneyland when I was 11... over 20 years ago.

Outtrigger888 · Jul 9, 2018

Nintendo games to play while you wait in line to get on one of the rides.

K Samedi · Jul 9, 2018

All the kids and parents are going to leave there with Switches in their hands. A Nintendo theme park is going to make a lot of money for them for sure.

I'd bet anything that there will definitely be DLC that will only be available if you go to the park.

Deft Beck · Jul 9, 2018

They will have a to-scale model of New Donk City, with Power Moons to collect.

Its probably getting an even bigger area in a third brand new universal park which is awesome. But also means its probably 6 years out.

maximumzero · Jul 9, 2018

Haven't been interested in Universal Studios since the 90s, but this will get me to show up for sure.

Gonna probably drop $500 in the gift shop(s) alone.

maximumzero · Jul 9, 2018

It's a damn shame streetpass is gonna be dead by the time the park is open.
