The Universal Studios Japan theme park’s operating officer and investment strategist Tsuyoshi Morioka stated to the Sankei Shimbun paper on Tuesday that the theme park’s planned Nintendo-themed attraction area will cost more than the existing “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” area.
Universal Studios Japan and Nintendo plan to build the Nintendo attraction area to the left of the theme park’s front gate.
Nintendo then announced in February that it planned to create attractions at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka.
Nintendo had announced in May 2015 that it was partnering with Universal Parks & Resorts to bring Nintendo-themed attractions to Universal theme parks in the future.
