Would be hilarious if they did have a stage show like that at it though.

Universal, if you make the Nimbasa Gym roller coaster a real ride I'll love you forever.

I don't like this news at all.
So should we be expecting something Pokémon related?

Honestly, I think they're more likely to stick with in-house IP (Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, etc.).

Ummmm....Nintendo I like you and all but why not build your own theme part instead of bringing atractions to other parks.

Now I wonder which option makes more money....Build your own or get a liciance and put you stuff on someone things?

First, Universal gets the Transformers attraction and a ton of TF swag. Now this.

Yeah, just take every last dollar I have. Go right ahead. They don't even have to have a Pokemon attraction, just the option to buy plush and welp, there goes all my cash. >_<

Re: Universal Parks & Resorts and Nintendo to collaborate on theme park attractions:

It will most likely just be some older rides re-branded with a Nintendo theme. Like how the 'Sonic Spinball' ride at Alton Towers used to be the 'Spinball Whizzer'.

Re: Universal Parks & Resorts and Nintendo to collaborate on theme park attractions:

I hope there will be a Nintendo Store like there is a Kwik-E-Mart in the Simpsons section of the Universal theme park in Florida. It would mean that I might not need to go to Disney's Epcot and Universal Studios in one holiday which I did last Summer. I was the only person in my family who wanted to go to Disney's Epcot mainly to go to the Japanese store and scientific attractions and rides there.

Re: Universal Parks & Resorts and Nintendo to collaborate on theme park attractions:

I agree with @MegaCharr;
Nintendo should make their own theme park! But, this is still great news. I wish this could have happened earlier though because I just went to Universal two weeks ago. x_x
I hope they make Pokemon-themed rides.

Apparently, this is happening because Universal is about to lose everything Marvel, since Disney owns it. Universal needs something to fill in for the Spider-Man and other Marvel attractions and apparently, this is what they've decided to go with. Or so I've heard.

And since Universal will have to pay Nintendo to use these characters, Nintendo will probably make more money this way than opening their own park.

Just as long as they have a Nintendo World store or a Pokemon Center, I'm good..... and broke.

I thought this sounded reasonable, but I looked into it and according to this, Universal still has the rights.
