A new ride for the upcoming Donkey Kong-themed section of Universal Studios Japan's Super Nintendo World will give parkgoers a very hands-on and thrilling series throwback, according to reports. The attraction apparently uses a simple yet clever design to provide this experience.
Nintendo first announced the Donkey Kong expansion to its Universal Studios Japan area in 2021, revealing plans to add a new roller coaster and other interactive experiences. Named Donkey Kong Country, which is also the title of the franchise's Super Nintendo Entertainment System reboot series, the section will also feature themed merchandise and food. More details regarding the roller coaster, Mine Cart Madness, have finally popped up online, giving fans a better idea of what they can expect once it opens.
CoasterTalk, a YouTube channel dedicated to keeping an eye on the progress of attractions around the world, claimed in a recent video that Super Nintendo World's Donkey Kong rollercoaster will simulate the games' minecart segments by making its riders feel as if they were being thrown into the air during moments where there are broken tracks. The ride can achieve this effect as its carts are actually running on a set of hidden tracks and not on the visible ones via a patented technology called Boom Coaster. The official page for Mine Cart madness claims the Donkey Kong Country ride will let fans join the series' titular protagonist on their adventure to protect the Golden Banana, so the attraction could feature other references to the games in addition to the broken track jump.
Universal Studios Japan's Donkey Kong Country is set to open in spring 2024, while Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida will get its own version of the area by summer 2025. The U.S. site will also feature the Mine Cart Madness roller coaster, as well as themed food, drinks, and merchandise, among other things.
The last Donkey Kong game released for home consoles was Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, which was initially launched for the Wii U in 2014 and received a Nintendo Switch port in 2018. Leakers have claimed that a new 2D Donkey Kong game is already being developed for the Switch 2, the rumored successor to Nintendo's popular handheld console. Meanwhile, a remake of 2004's Mario vs. Donkey Kong is currently set to be released this February.
2024 is shaping up to be a big year for Nintendo even when just taking into account the opening of Donkey Kong Country and a possible launch for the next generation Switch. Donkey Kong fans will have to wait and see if the new Universal Studios Japan expansion and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake are the only things that Nintendo has in store for the series this year.

A new report courtesy of Bloomberg (via IGN) indicates that the Nintendo Switch 2—the follow-up console to the incredibly popular Nintendo Switch—will feature an 8-inch LCD display. The report by Bloomberg cites Hiroshi Hayase—an analyst with Omdia specialising in the display market.
Details surrounding Nintendo's next piece of hardware have been few and far between, with only rumors, leaks, and the opinions of industry analysts to go off right now. We know that Nintendo probably won't rock the boat too much due to the overwhelming success of the Switch, and industry analysts have predicted that the console will most likely be an "iteration" rather than a drastic change in design.

A new Palia update is on the way, and it builds on the Maji Market. The Luna New Year update makes the previous festival space more bustling and busy, with new activities, rewards, recipes, and quests. It is a much beefier take on the previous Maji Market event, and it shows how developer Singularity Six is iterating and expanding on the existing world.
As Nintendo has proven over the last several years, they’re dedicated to not just making the best video games possible featuring their IPs but trying to take those IPs and bring them to new places so that they can “lure in” new people to check them out. Last year, they released the first of what might be a grand movie slate, with Mario’s first animated feature not only getting nominated for awards but also bringing in over 1.3 billion dollars! Then, there’s Super Nintendo World, the amusement that Nintendo has built with Universal Studios. The park already has locations in Japan and California, and Orlando is set to drop soon.
It’s that time of year again! With January winding down, Nintendo fans await confirmation that The Big N is getting ready to present its first Nintendo Direct of the year! Ever since these started several years back, fans have been pumped for when the next one will arrive and what will be shown. This particular Direct will be important because it’s not just the first event of the year for Nintendo but because it’s presumably the last “full year” of Switch content. We only have one “original title” coming out via the Princess Peach game, and that seems pretty “light.”

Story modes in sports games have had a long-standing problem. Scripted narratives clash with the “anything can happen” nature of sports, which means what happens in the actual games can be in direct opposition to what happens in the narrative.
