Due to the expansion of the state of emergency to the Kansai area, including Osaka, Universal Studios Japan has decided to postpone the grand opening of Super Nintendo World, originally scheduled for February 4th.
Super Nintendo World would open earlier on February 4th. The state of emergency was declared earlier until at least February 7 last Friday to cover the Tokyo area, including Chiba, home of Tokyo Disney Resort. Both Tokyo Disney Resort and Universal Studios Japan have announced that they will limit the capacity to 5,000 guests per day during the emergency.
The state of emergency also expires on February 7 in Osaka. Universal Studios Japan has announced that it will announce a new opening date once the state of emergency is lifted.
Meanwhile, a number of details are available, including Shigeru Miyamoto’s 15-year tour of the country, the exciting popcorn buckets, menus for Yoshi’s Snack Island and even a great deal of merchandise!
While this is disappointing news, it is in the best interests of the guest and crew member’s safety in the park. We can only hope that the COVID-19 situation in Japan improves so that Super Nintendo World can open safely as soon as possible.
