Hold onto your controllers, video game fans! We have some great news for you. Universal Studios Hollywood has finally confirmed the rumors that a Super Nintendo World theme park will be opening in Southern California in 2023. The first Super Nintendo World opened up in Japan in March 2021. Additional parks have already been announced in Orlando and Singapore, and are expected to open next year. The Southern California location is also expected to open in 2023, though no date has been announced yet.

The park is expected to be largely centered around the immensely popular Mario franchise.
