Super Nintendo World
In Japan, several prefectures have declared a state of emergency in light of the worsening of the Covid-19 situation in the country. That includes the Osaka Prefecture, where Universal Studios Japan is located. Therefore, it’s no wonder that the grand opening of the Super Nintendo World area (previously slated for February 4th) has been further delayed to an unspecified date.
Right now, we don’t know when the Super Nintendo World area will open, but Universal Studios Japan have confirmed they will only make an announcement once the state of emergency has been lifted.
