    The new Donkey Kong Country in Super Nintendo World already looks like heaven.

      Editing … As a kid I would always dream Nintendo would make a theme park. But in my head it would be very different from what they actually did. I wanted them to buy a huge plot of land and remake some locations in their games 1:1. There would be no rides. Only landscapes and levels from Mario 64 and Ocarina of time. You'd be able to pretend you were actually in the game. It would be a larper's dream I'd think. Maybe my idea could be extended by adding augmented reality on top of the physical location for special effects and stuff if you wanted but It's not necessary. I still like my idea. It would be more like a nature park/retreat where you could explore and have a picnic with your family or nerd friends.

      Editing … Any time I hope for theme parks, I always just hope for cool settings too. The rides and games would break my immersion. I think I'd love to visit The Shire. I think the Ghibli park mainly focuses on cool areas too.

      Editing … I really like how they integrated a scoring system in that area of Universal Studios Hollywood, though. Kept me busy for an entire year. Except now I have to wait for the expansion. And I really could care less about the new, improved Fast and the Furious ride. Sigh...

      Editing … Yeah, the Power-Up Band keeps track of people's achievements in Super Nintendo World. So it has a record of how many coins I've earned in one year, etc. Some of the requirements for the badges are pretty sketchy, though.

      Editing … That sounds a lot less intrusive than like, an app you need to actively use. I heard the Disney Star Wars Lands have a phone game where explorers can scan real-world items (like First Order shipping crates) in order to win in-app prizes that don't do anything. That sounds so boring. But I don't think they force it on people, so you can just walk around in awe of the surroundings without being forced into a lame game.

      Editing … Oh eww. That Disney thing sounds stupid. An optional wristband that stores data locally I can understand, but a lame and creepy data collecting Disney app sounds like it belongs in a dystopian theme park. I'm glad Nintendo (at least for now until they inevitably also turn evil) are playing it safe with user data. The Alarmo thing does not share data as far as I know, it only stores it locally on the alarm for you to see personally. So same for the wristband I guess. I think it would damage Nintendo's image if any personalized user data were to be leaked because they are seen as a child friendly company. Disney's got nothing to lose though, everybody already knows they are evil so they can just continue being creepy ad evil without repercussions.

      Editing … Thing is, I'm never gotten the Disney wristband to work properly. And I've tried my best with the firmware updates, but Disney's wristband uses up so much battery power. I wasn't able to use it when I first bought it at the park. Had to charge it. And even then, it doesn't really do much in the park! At least the Nintendo wristband had cool images and other stuff park sounds that pop up after touching it to the wall icons...

      Editing … Maybe the wristband was too busy estimating your net-worth to also provide you with actual content.
