The fans among you will already know what it’s about: Super Nintendo World is located in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. This part of the park is all about the Japanese video game giant’s games, with a particular focus on Mario. The amusement park has been extremely popular since it opened in March 2021. The same applies to the Hollywood spin-off.

It has been clear for some time that Super Nintendo World will be expanded. The star of the new area of ​​the Japanese park will be Donkey Kong. It is precisely this monkey spectacle that is the focus of today’s Nintendo Direct. In ten minutes, the company will introduce you to the small part of the park that was actually supposed to open in spring 2024. However, the ceremonial start was postponed until today.

After all, Nintendo is playing with open cards when it comes to the Direct. However, it would be nice to finally find out solid information about the Nintendo Switch 2. So far we only know that the console is currently being built and will be backwards compatible with the first Switch. It’s nice, but also a bit thin. In recent weeks, the company surprised people by releasing an alarm clock and a music app.
