Time to jump into the warp pipe and head off to a land of Goomba's and Toads as according to Yahoo Super Nintendo World will open up their doors at Universal Studios in Hollywood this coming February. This lines up with the release of the Super Mario Movie premiering on February 17th.

Though instead of a standalone part Super Nintendo world will act as a vital addition to the experience of those who visit the California based theme park. Though this isn't the first location to open as this park is coming from across the seas from Nintendo's home country of Japan. Where the first Super Nintendo World opened in Osaka back in 2021.

The park was met with great success as it incorporated the latest technology into the main attraction that is Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, an Augmented reality go kart simulator that makes you feel as if you were actually racing against some of your favorite Mario characters. However that's it as far as rides go, besides a slow paced Yoshi ride, but that has yet to be announced at the US location. Don't worry you'll still be able to eat amazing themed food and buy exclusive merch.

One item is the powerband which can be purchased while entering the park. It unlocks exclusive  interactions within the park as hidden question blocks can be scans for coins. Though we will have to wait a bit longer to see just how much the US location takes from it's abroad counterpart. One thing that for sure is you will be able to meet some of the iconic video game characters and even get your picture with them. A second US location based in Florida is also in the works, but as of right now information regarding that is limited.

The Super Mario Movie is jumping into theaters the same day and is Nintendo's first real attempt at an animated movie, so based off what I've seen of the original location I truly hope this keeps up the same standards and quality as the Osaka location.

The Top 6 Upcoming Movies I’m Excited For

It's that time again this year when we look forward to some of the upcoming movies for the rest of 2022 and the start of the new year.

We've already had some absolutely amazing releases like the sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and some films that may have not met fans' expectations like the latest Halloween film.

Though looking at the upcoming films I think it's safe to say we have a great lineup of possibly great movies.

Avatar: Way Of Water

The follow-up to the most successful box office movie in the history of cinema. Avatar: The Way of Water is doing very well in popularity charts with high projections. Now, will it take the throne from its older sibling? Well in reality it needs to score well both domestically and internationally if it wants that dream to become a reality. Avatar 2 is set to release this month on December 15th.

The Mario Movie

Ever since its announcement the Mario movie has been on everybody's mind. There's a reason for that as well seeing as fans of the Nintendo franchise have been begging for this for years and while their casting choices may have raised some alarm, the animation done by Illumination Studios is spot-on and more than enough to win me over. April 8th of next year is when we super jump over to theaters.

Inside

Starring Willem Dafoe this thriller turns luxury and turns it into tragedy. As we see a high-class art thief gets trapped with no escape after a job goes wrong. I'm highly excited for this not only because it's Willem Dafoe but also because I love phycology horrors like this. There's no big spooky creature just a man in a room. To see what happens to Dafoe's sanity we'll have to wait till March 10th.

Missing

We've seen the likes of Liam Neason and Jackie Chan taking names for the sake of their child, but what if the roles were reversed? Missing is an upcoming film about parents not returning from an overseas trip, instead of weapons and hand to hand combat actress Storm Reid, who must use the internet to solve the case. We won't have to wait too long as this drama hits screens on January 20th.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Indi is back folk for one last adventure! Harrison Ford has been our iconic treasure hunter for over forty years and now next year it seems like the story will wrap up as Indiana Jones comes out on what appears to be his retirement for one last journey as the Space Race is a heavily important plot point. We will have to wait until June 2023 for the fifth installment of this cult classic to hit theaters.

Cocaine Bear

Yes, you read that right Cocaine Bear is an upcoming comedy thriller that takes inspiration from a real-life event! After some movie magic, we get the result of a bear being drugged out of its mind and going wild. I am so excited about this movie and based on what we've seen from the trailer it's going to be a hit.
