[@goodanytimej8688]

This is so cool! I used to work for a company called Goetz Composites in Rhode Island and years ago we made some of the pieces in this video! Like some of the clouds, parts of the red plant dude that tries to bite Mario, some of the background pieces you see in the main drag area, some Bullet Bill pieces, and the ball and chain that acts like a dog. I was only there while they were building it for a little over a year but it was so cool to see. They also did a humongous King Kong themed doorway before I was there for Universal. They were all cool projects! Glad you had fun and thanks for showing us!

[@hi_its_jerry]

you mean the piranha plant 😂

[@SuLokify]

Awesome! I've been here and those pieces look even better in person. You guys did a great job!

[@goodanytimej8688]

@J K 😁 thankyou so much! I haven't seen them since we shipped them and I'm so happy that they came out this good all setup with the rest of the park. I'm glad you got to enjoy them and thabkyou for your kind words😁 have a great holiday!

It’s weird that it’s pretty much only Mario themed, but they called it Super Nintendo World instead of just Super Mario World

yeah true actually! it’s pretty much just those 3 pikmin and that’s it…… maybe they’re planning to expand in da future 0_0

[@MiloMurphysLaw]

@@babylonian maybe each new attraction that gets added will correspond with a new Nintendo movie or tv show. Since they’re already planning a “Donkey Kong land expansion” and there are rumors of a Donkey Kong spinoff movie

I moved to Japan with my bestfriend after our college graduation. Best. Decision. Ever. We’ve been here for almost 2 decades now, we love life here in Japan! Things are so affordable, convenient, high quality, and people are so polite and respectful. I can’t believe people can be so nice, we never want to fly back home EVER.

[@flurpoid]

The theming and set pieces are top notch, everything looks so well made. I hope the US version of this just as cool.

[@Kitrailers]

It's honestly been quite cathartic seeing you travel to different places and highlighting the smaller details of different places that are usually not noticed, thank you for posting and I look forward to what you do next!

[@Hutch2Much]

i get to go to Japan next year and as nervous as i am to visit a foreign country, i’m so hyped. really hoping to to visit Nintendo World :)

the exact same thing happened to us when we went (the Timed Area Entry thing after you enter). Got in a lil before 10 actually and when we registered the tickets and reserved a slot, the only ones available were for 5:40 so we had to kill time for that long it was agony to wait and it even started to drizzle. But once we got in it was absolutely amazing!!

I'm glad you had a fun time at Super Nintendo World! It's such a fun area. Thank you for the fun video.

[@DraakjeYoblama]

It's kinda sad how the line to a theme park ride gives bowser more character than most games he's in. But it's nice that theme park designers do stuff like that to make your wait more fun.

[@thebradwallace]

calling his next series is to find out the origins of that jurassic park film and he'll probably have to say "so i booked a flight to japan" in the process...

@@johnathantaylor5913 you sound like you read a self help book once

​@@eggegg8181Cost and work obligations have been the biggest issues for me these days. Before that it was just laziness. I'd made plans to varying degrees several times but could never actually pull the trigger on it. I'm reaching a point where I'm feeling time running out. I'd rather do it before I'm a totally middle aged man at least once. So over the next few years I'm definitely going to start solidifying some plans.

[@stc.martin822]

19:24 That was some great graphics indeed! Very retro.

[@GuanlongX]

I was actually there on December 23rd, 2022 (our free day during my Study Abroad trip) and it was a pretty fun time. It's really trippy to see the Shinkansen and all that other stuff in Osaka from someone else's point of view when I was literally just there.

[@annagarlicjaws]

So cool! Thanks so much for sharing! I hope that someday they add Zelda/Animal Crossing/Splatoon attractions to Nintendo world.

[@theceoofsayingno7825]

Yeah! I’d love to walk around a mini-inkopolis square or splatsville, going in the shops and visiting story mode areas! It would be so fun if there were like- splattershots or rollers they let everyone run around with, or maybe for a Zelda one they could have some of the botw villages, and an animal crossing area would be adorable with all the trees and villagers walking around.

I waited until I got to go to the Hollywood one before watching. Really cool to see some of the differences (Japan is much bigger and better), and really fund to experience some of it for the first time again through Nick's eyes. Really disdappointed he didn't do the yoshi ride, I watched a ride video of that and would have loved to see Nick's reaction to the baby mario portion.

[@Hoffyman]

I laughed at all the Soju around the 7:57 minute mark and thinking of Korean dads going to Mario Land and getting smashed

This was an incredible watch, I felt so much joy and I wasn't even there! I can't imagine how y'all felt.

[@fairiesflame1345]

Just to let you know, the park opens around an hour earlier than the said time opening. So if say 9:00am, the park may open 8:00am. Since I arrived an hour early, I went in as USJ opened and I didn't need an area time ticket to go Super Nintendo World.

[@_Brohan]

such a cool little park! really loved Bowser's library!

[@jkid1134]

Squeed when I saw the Mario Kart trophies in real life. Must be a wonder to be a Japanese child. Merry Christmas Nick!

[@britjay2615]

I can finally watch this video now that I visited Nintendo world myself two weeks ago~ Yeah, it's hard if you don't know about having to reserve the timed entry ahead of time. You can actually go into USJ an hour before posted opening time. My friend and I did so (entered around 8am) but still only managed to get a 1:30pm entry time. Was still a blast though! It was so cute to see all the book titles and things in the Mario Kart queue! I missed it all since I took the single rider line to bypass the long wait haha. We still didn't get to ride the Yoshi ride though, which I was pretty sad about...but at least I was the winner in my car at Mario Kart!

[@bpcgos]

Going to Super Nintendo World last November 2023 and its so crowded... Why it seems chiller in Christmas day...lol... The queue though,im wait for almost 1,5 hour for the mario kart ride...😅 Thankfully thats me and my wife plans all along to spend full day at usj and wait for the bus to Toyama through the bus station at 9 pm

It's always exciting to visit a new place and experience all that it has to offer, especially when it's a place as unique and immersive as a Nintendo-themed park. It's also great to see how much the park has embraced the holiday season with Christmas-themed decorations and mascots. Overall, it sounds like you had a fantastic time!❤
