Nintendo held a special video presentation to shed some more light on plans for the Donkey Kong Country addition to the Super Nintendo World theme park. According to the announcement, the new area will make its long-awaited debut in Universal Studios Japan on December 11, 2024.
Nintendo’s own Shigeru Miyamoto shared the news, so you can learn more about what’s in store below.
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD Direct
After the December opening in Japan, Donkey Kong Country will open alongside Mario’s world as part of Super Nintendo World at Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida on May 22, 2025.
This all follows previous plans that had Donkey Kong Country aiming for a spring 2024 debut. They missed the mark a bit on that one, but we have no doubt the new area will be worth its weight in bananas.
