運営元のユー・エス・ジェイ社が12月12日に発表した。「SUPER NINTENDO WORLD」では、任天堂のキャラクターやゲームの世界観を再現した乗り物のアトラクションが楽しめるほか、ショップやレストランを含む、「巨大複合エリア」になる。現在は駐車場になっている場所と、将来の拡張用地の一部にパークエリアを拡張した上で建築するという。
大阪のUSJ以外でも、アメリカ・フロリダ州の「ユニバーサル・オーランド・リゾート」と、カリフォルニア州の「ユニバーサル・スタジオ・ハリウッド」の2カ所にも同様のテーマエリアをつくる予定だが、日本が世界初となる。投資額は500億円超で、朝日新聞デジタルは2014年7月に開業した映画「ハリー・ポッター」のエリアを超える規模になると報じている。
