Well it looks like Miyamoto’s not shooting down this rumour, as ABC recently asked Miyamoto if he would consider a physical park instead of the digital park that is Nintendo Land. Though Nintendo is focusing on their own hardware and software development, Miyamoto says that a Nintendo themed park isn’t as far fetched as it seems.
ABC: “Nintendo Land” very much teased us, and everyone wants to actually go to Nintendo Land in person. Have you ever been approached about a Mario theme-park, or is that ever something you would consider in real life?
Miyamoto: Certainly, with Nintendo being in the entertainment industry, there may come some point in the future where that might become a possibility. But right now we’ve got our hands full creating our digital products. Certainly, it’s not an impossibility.
The moment that they announced it, Ashley Burke's head would explode.
I've got a real good friend on Facebook who's had dreams of opening a Nintendo theme park for years. He's even got multiple well-thought-out notes detailing everything he'd include in it, hell I've helped with ideas. I wish I could just walk up to Shiggy or Iwata and be like "hey, this guy's got great ideas and a pure dream. You work on your games, and give this guy your blessing and creative (i.e., financial lol) blessing to work on the physical aspect."
I did have a dream about an actual Nintendo land theme park, like Disneyland with Nintendo themed rides and attractions. One of these was Metroid themed. I dreamed you played the part of Samus Aran , you had an arm cannon and you helped shoot the Metroids and space pirates.
That woudl be soo cool. 🙂 You coudl have Mario sunshine inspired boat rides riding along a isle Delfino like ride. Imagine a Luigi's Mansion themed ride like the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland. A Bowser's scary Inferno ride or Peach's magical royal ball event geared towards women.
A yoshi themed carrousel where little kids can ride yoshis with Mario world themed music blarring in the background. How about Mario Kart cruise? Wario's wacky roller coaster? Super mario bros Super show Live stage performacnes or 3D movies? The possibilities are endless. Nintendo, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS. 🙂
I like the isle Delfino theme. That could be the adult section with different little islands being different bars and restaraunts maybe a cottage or two. It would be a very big pool pretty much as the water would only be waist deep so you could walk, but give enough room for the electric boats to go about their way. Hell yeah, loaded in Nintendo Land. But seriously that would be cool.
I came up with an underground Metroid attraction based off the first game, where players with VR Helmets would explore the underground areas and shoot virtual enemies and collect powerups, and eventually defeat Mother Brain and escape the planet.
