Nintendo Co. fans will soon be able to enjoy a life-size video game experience in a new attraction at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka.
Super Nintendo World is slated to open this summer, featuring a wearable Power Up Band that lets visitors collect coins and battle bosses while exploring a physical environment. Users will track their progress via a smartphone app, according to the theme park operator, which is owned by NBCUniversal LLC.
"Super Nintendo World will provide an experience you cannot have anywhere else," USJ Chief Executive Officer J.L. Bonnier said Tuesday at a briefing in Osaka.
