Super Nintendo World temporarily closing at Universal Studios Japan following surge in coronavirus cases

After only just opening last month, Super Nintendo World will be temporarily closing. Universal Studios Japan is shutting down its entire theme park “due to the substantial business shutdown request to operate with no spectators which was issued under the state of emergency for Osaka prefecture.”

Japan will be declaring a state of emergency in Tokyo, Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto. The country has been experiencing a surge in coronavirus cases as of late.

Universal Studios Japan, including Super Nintendo World, will close on April 25. It will stay that way “until the request has been lifted.”
