A few days ago, Universal Parks and Resorts did the unthinkable and on May 6th 2015 one of our most wanted Nintendo-related dreams came true through the power of the internet.
After years of waiting and months of negotiations about how to expand Nintendo IPs beyond games the right way along with months of negotiations between Universal Studios and Nintendo, for the first time ever, our dream of a Nintendoland theme park much like the Wii U game, has come true and will do so through the power of being a part of Universal Studios!
This is what they had to say about the partnership with Nintendo on their blog the day it was announced.
"I’m thrilled to share that Nintendo and Universal Parks & Resorts today announced plans to bring the world of Nintendo to life at Universal theme parks.
Together, these two storytelling giants will create spectacular, dedicated experiences based on Nintendo’s wildly popular games, characters and worlds.
The agreement brings two icons of entertainment together and represents a significant partnership for Nintendo as it expands the reach and popularity of its characters and intellectual property.
Universal theme parks offer incredibly popular, innovative themed family entertainment experiences based on compelling stories and characters – using powerful storytelling and innovative technology. Nintendo has created remarkable and imaginative worlds filled with captivating stories and beloved characters.
Now, for the first time, those stories and characters will be brought to life in entirely new ways—only at Universal theme parks.
The immersive experiences will include major attractions at Universal’s theme parks and will feature Nintendo’s most famous characters and games.
More details will be announced in the future, as the Nintendo and Universal creative teams work to create specific concepts.”

Watch out guys as this could mean great things for Nintendo fans who been wanting this to happen for years and may result in all traces of Marvel being removed from the Universal Studios Parks to make way for Nintendo in the Universal Studios Parks.
It could also result in Universal Giving Marvel's theme Park Rights to Disney so they can be able to make a Marvel Park that has Rides, Attractions and Cast Members that interact with each other and the other cast members inside the Disney Parks that may or may not be announced at D23 Expo 2015 that sounds very likely considering the Nintendo-Universal Theme Park Deal.
Since this is happening, it is shaping up to be a pretty astounding year for us Nintendo fans and may also end up the same way for us Disney fans and Marvel Fans.
Discuss down bellow about the Nintendo-Universal deal and/or what this means for Disney/Marvel in this situation!
