The general opening of the area has been repeatedly delayed due to the effects of the pandemic, and comes almost a year behind schedule. Nintendo announced the 18th March date this morning via its official Twitter , accompanied by an image showing guests leaping over its landmarks while wearing a selection of face masks. The last we had heard of the park’s opening was that it had been delayed indefinitely back in January - although media tours have still taken place. New hygiene measures for Universal Studios Japan include mandatory mask-wearing, reduced capacity and numbered tickets to spread out the arrival of guests into Super Nintendo World. Across the Pacific, Super Nintendo World Orlando is now reportedly aiming for a 2025 opening, while construction continues on another park in California.
