While that may seem far away, the new Nintendo themed area will be constructed in time for the Olympics, which should provide tourists something new to see while they are in town. Courtesy of Sankei news, we have this handy graphic to show just how big the new area will be. You can see the future Nintendo section highlighted in red below.
Forty billion yen ($351 million USD) is being put into the new attraction, which Nintendo and Universal hope will achieve the same popularity that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Marvel Studios areas have amassed. While there isn’t any word on what will be in the area yet, expect Nintendo’s icons like Mario, Yoshi, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Kirby to be featured all over it.
