Miyamoto’s heartfelt tour of Super Nintendo World is too jolly to miss

This theme park looks like a dream come true for Nintendo fans

Shigeru Miyamoto is having the time of his life in this walking tour of Super Nintendo World.

The proud father’s happiness knows no bounds in this special 15-minute Nintendo Direct presentation, and it’s transferring to me right through the screen. It’ll likely be a few years before I can visit this theme park – it’s opening in Japan on February 4 but won’t be accessible in Hollywood, Orlando, or Singapore until later – and I’ve accepted that for now. But once it does open, it’s on. I’ve gotta go one day.

During his tour, Miyamoto covered multiple areas including the inside of a Warp Pipe and the gift shop, he previewed the Power-Up Band and phone app, and he showed an exclusive Tokotoko Mario toy.

Definitely watch the Direct when you get a chance. It’s a fun one.
