I'd much rather see a Metroid ride than something like Star Fox or Animal Crossing. Considering Metroid's popularity in the US, it's very possible Universal Orlando will get one after they build Mario, Zelda and Pokemon.
I'd hope so.
They've said multiple times that it's a new console.At this point, I'm wondering if the elusive NX might just be Nintendo Land at Universal. The company is so unpredictable at this point
I know I was just joking, but the fact that they are keeping such a tight lid on it makes me wonder what it is. Is it a miracle cure? Will the NX help me win the lottery? But in all seriousness, the rumours are getting tiresome and I hope they announce the reveal date in the 3DS direct tomorrow.
That's a good point... Isn't this thing out in March? Even with the Wii U we saw it at an E3 like a year and a half before its launch.
Don't count on it.
Nintendo has said we'll be getting info "Fall 2016" and there is also speculation that it could be at the Tokyo Game Show this month. Personally I hope for a Direct that's all about the future. NX, Universal, and the talks they've had about movies.
Yeah, they are shooting themselves in the foot right now. It's now (September) or never.
If the NX is at the TGS, they are going to have to reveal the system in the next to weeks. They don't normally show stuff off at TGS so it would most likely be third party games, which we would need to see a system beforehand
Hi @Brer Oswald! Thanks so much for the compliment and welcome to the forums! I totally love Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, especially Rosalina and those cute baby stars -- wow, that was a long time ago. LOL.I love your ideas but I personally think Mario Galaxy deserves WAY more than something like Buzz. Maybe a roller coaster meets dark ride kinda like the Mummy, or a Harry Potter scale dark ride. The one thing outside of Disney that I love is Mario Galaxy so I might be a little biased
Thank you very much for welcoming me
! With the theming Universal did for Harry Potter, I'd be shocked if Mario and Zelda didn't get the same treatment, so Peach's Castle would be a must. I too love the character of Rosalina, and with her recent popularity, she will probably have some sort of presence with Mario and company when the Nintendo expansion hits the parks. Fingers crossed that it'll be in a Mario Galaxy ride
Peach's Castle is rumored to be the entrance to the land. No Mario Galaxy sadly. Just Mario Kart.Thank you very much for welcoming me
If it's just Mario Kart then that is a HUGE waste of potential. It's not even a main Mario series, it's just a spinoff. I feel like they have to create some sort of dark ride dedicated to the main Mario series (Galaxy or not) because Mario Kart is a terrible representation of it (no Bowser as villain, no warp pipes, blocks, or power ups, no saving Peach, etc.)
I'm pretty sure they are choosing Mario Kart due to interactivity.
.
What I was personally hoping for was a Mario dark ride to go on an adventure with Mario and the gang, and an interactive Mario Kart racing circuit.
I like their choice as it gives all the big characters at once without over saturating Mario himself. Down the line they might add a full Mario ride also.
Mario Kart will be the lands main E Ticket. We save Peach plenty of times at home so that's not a deal breaker for me. Warp Pipes, Blocks, and Power-Ups could easily appear throughout the land. Who says Bowser can't appear as a villain? Bowser's Castle has appeared as a course in every title and it's been hinted on Orlando United that this ride could have multiple locations:

It just worries me that I can kiss my chance of seeing a Mario animatronic goodbye, but if they somehow combine interactive Mario Kart and mainline Mario "story" into one spectacular attraction, then it could be really cool.
One thing that has been consistently rumored is that this expansion will feature more animatronics and physical sets than previous projects. The insiders haven't really said if Mario Kart will be interactive.
