TOKYO -- The rapid rise in coronavirus infections in Japan has again delayed the opening of Nintendo's first Mario-themed park in Universal Studios in Osaka, putting the gaming company's ambitions on hold.
Theme park operator Universal Studios Japan announced Thursday that the company has pushed back the much-anticipated opening of Super Nintendo World to after Feb. 7, when the government's newly declared COVID-19 state of emergency is expected to end. The theme park was meant to open on Feb. 4.
