Nintendo coming to Universal Studios

What do you think this will mean lads? I honestly have no idea how they can make a ride from a Nintendo game.

Anyway, mildly interesting.

...

The same way they make a ride from everything else. Just brand it and paint it.

This is old fucking news.

I thought they were already doing some shit with them after they partnered up for The Wizard.

at least now i can get some coffee

...

this was announced months ago, they just now made a uninformative video about it.

...

Stop pretending Nintendo isn't shit. They haven't made a good game in 15 years.

True, but that dude
was acting as if no one is allowed to talk about the Nintendo video uploaded an hour ago

...

Disgusting

Well were just now making an uninformative thread about it.

Nintendo is dead.

Since we're on this topic, what kind of theme park attraction would be good for non-Nintendo games:
Doom: Very fast and wild boat ride where you shoot demons using guns that are attached to your boat as you sail across hell (think Jurrasic Park ride mixed with the Buzz Lightyear ride).
Quake: A fucking roller coaster
Battlefield/Battlefront: A huge lazer tag/paintball field with vehicles and various objectives.
Soul Calibur: I can't think of any ride. Probably have a restaurant where they serve food on swords or something.
Halo: Lazer Tag and Bumper Car Hybrid

Apparently Universal is opening a Vidya based park with the land they bought near Islands Of Adventure and they have been in negotiations with Blizzard and Microsoft as well as Nintendo. Nintendo's just the first confirmed since it's getting an area at all three parks and not just the new Orlando park. So some of those are more likely than you think

Halo's probably going to be a motion ride like Spider-Man or The Simpsons Ride though.

Super Smash Bros on PC with regular content updates when?

Overmeme the stage play: Have a bunch of people on stage dress like idiots and repeat memes for the sake of fanservice. The audience will be allowed to go on stage later on to also make themselves look like idiots.
Starcraft: Probably like an ET ride but in a closed vehicle
Warcraft: Another roller coaster?
Banjo: We can probably have a jungle-themed cup ride like the one in disneyland (forgot the princess' name)
Perfect Dark: Futuristic 3D ride
Gears: Probably a horror ride since the new game has some horror elements (the locust can look scary irl)
Forza: On rails driving ride like the one in tomorrowland
Fable: A carousel?
Conker: 3D comedy show?
ODST: On rails-ride with a shitton of Hollywood special effects that make you feel like you're in a tough fight (explosions, realistic gunshot audio, strong winds, rain) and there will be actors or animatronics that will be the Covenant.

Soon. But I'm not sure what that has to do with the thread.

No, they don't. All their mobile games so far have been outsourced.

...

Gears would probably be a Dark Ride with drops and weather effects (Think an on rails version of Twister. Goddamn that fucking gas tank they never warn you about). Forza, I'd say more like Test Track from Epcot but maybe some elements like Sliding axels to make it feel like "Drifting" while cornering.

But then you know the main reason MS was one of the priorities was Minecraft so yeah, expect an autism playground.

Superstar Saga

Then you have absolutely no imagination or ingenuity.

It's funny how they don't necessarily need to get their hands dirty with mobile, and still be able to reap all the benefits. I would have assumed going mobile would make people think "well I can play it on my phone I don't need to buy their system." But Pokemon GO was enough to boost Sun and Moon's sales substantially.

Can't imagine what Mario Run will do.

They've been pretty clear-cut so far that Nintendo doesn't think of their mobile games as anything more than a free-to-play little advertiser for their actual games, really they've probably went about it in the smartest possible way for a big vidya company. Especially since it may or may not have gotten the shareholders constantly demanding mobile games off of their back after that announcement they wouldn't drop everything for friggin mobile and their stocks plummeted.

Mario Run is apparently being done by a tiny NST Redmond team with supervision from NCL so they aren't pushing the boat out budget wise either. They probably made their money back on it from the Apple exclusivity dosh alone.

It's a significantly smarter strategy, but no one wants to admit it and would rather shitpost instead.

It's hard to piss and whine and cry Nintendoom and pretend the company actually has a chance of dying any time in the next millennium (let alone anything buttfuck retarded like Nintendo becoming a third-party, something they'd rather let the company die a loud flaming death than submit to) if you admit they made an intelligent decision regarding something.

its like you're underage!
WAIT A MINUTE!

True. The one thing Kinishima is doing is making smart decisions to set up his successor. Getting the mobile monkey off their back, but not letting it take over their business was shrewd as fuck. Especially getting Apple to pay them for it.

In general the man's doing a pretty damn good job with how Nintendo's going, even though the company's been going unnecessarily retarded with things like its hold over copyright (ie removing Pokemon Uranium and Another Metroid 2 Remake from that best-games list recently). Usually they'd only step into things if you were itching to make a profit off of your fangame, or if you were just flat-out making a remake of something Nintendo was still making money off of and you or your team was stupid enough to advertise that you were working on such a project.

It's unnecessary and trigger happy lawyers always makes you look bad. They really need to adopt Microsoft and Sega's policies on community content instead of being dicks about it.

I mean, Bungie used to joke how much Sanghelli porn there was and questioned how would you be able to make Cortana porn if she's a hologram. Instead of DMCA-ing it

The comments on this video are hilarious.

Making amusement park rides costs millions; realistically they are gonna build pic related next to Dr Seuss land.

… I wanna see a Luigi's mansion haunted house with you able to use the Poltergust 3000 to suck up the ghosts your find.

shit, Pinna Park when?

If it was just NoA doing it, I'd say yes.
But I imagine Nintendo as a whole might push for something more- something that makes the brand look impressive rather than a cheap repaint (in appearance).

For example, they could take an old/unpopular ride and re-brand it. Like how Back To The Future became the Simpsons Ride. Still a VR rollercoaster thing either way (wonder if the motions are even the same).

I still reckon you're right though. Maybe a water-pistol thing or like that soft ball launching jungle-gym they had in the Millennium Dome.

I'm nostalgic for the Rat Pack fortress they had at Legoland Windsor now.

If you had a Disney Quest esque budget that's not impossible.

Shove a VR head-set on a guy, have him stand in place while the vehicle in VR moves around, and suck up ghosts like it's an arcade light-gun shooter.

It's gonna be on the land they just purchased near Islands of Adventure in Orlando. No idea about the situation in Universal Hollywood.


I could see them making a Disney Quest Knock off on property. Universal Parks has been rolling in dosh since Harry Potter success.

I WANNA GET SWALLOWED BY KIRBY!!!!!

Consoles and Nintendo were never good, get the fuck over it already.

And it works so well for Valve. :^)

What a delightful combination

...

who do you think is going to build the rides? It's possible Nintendo isn't paying much, but instead is making money from selling some rights to their ip's.

Mario Kart, dipshit.

This sounds really gay, but is it just me, or is Miyamoto's voice kind of erotic?

i want to ride ridley

as if there's enough space in the park for a ridley ride

Seriously. It got me hard.

Shit you reminded me of those fucking super smash bros 50 fact you tube poops

This is certainly not something I needed while being this gay and stoned.

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

They're not even being subtle about their Jewelry.

Fuck, I'd love a water park themed like that. Of course it'd be on the level of fucking Action Park if it were a 1-1 translation.
The only safe thing there was the fucking merry go round.

Shit, people would still love it.

inb4 no F-Zero ride

Imagine if we got a park on the level of Witchyworld.

Shit, that's just any seedy ass circus. The only thing needed would be a Microsoft run tent that you walk into and get mugged before being thrown out on your ass, just without the chance of getting a jiggy.

Is there any seedy circus out there that gives you the Saucer of Peril?

But is it open source? That would give a lot of potential for a MUGEN-esque Smash Bros.
