Super Nintendo World opens in Japan after Covid delays
Super Nintendo World – which cost about $0.5bn ($0.36bn) to build –
was meant to open last summer but was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Initially only Japanese visitors can go amid international travel bans.
For Nintendo, it represents part of a move from games firm to entertainment company.
One of the most popular rides in the new theme park
will feature a Mario Kart race, which visitors will ride sporting an augmented reality headset attached to a red cap.
And the park itself is a gaming experience, with visitors encouraged to buy wristbands to collect keys, redeem coins,
play mini-games around the land and even team up with other visitors via a smartphone app.
Three more Super Nintendo World parks are being built at Universal Studios in LA, Orlando and in Singapore.
