Nintendo theme park

by Triston and Torrae Swindell

Nintendo is one of the most successful gaming companies in the video game industry today. Question: What can make Nintendo even more successful? New games, new characters, new villains? No, my friends, how about a Nintendo Theme Park! For those of you who have played a Nintendo game, which every one has, you might be thinking what I’m thinking…the opportunities are endless! I mean, the Mario Franchise alone can be a theme park by itself, but now imagine all the other Nintendo characters together in one big, magical, and epic place. Let me break it down:

Mushroom Kingdom:

Welcome to the magical and mushroomy land of Mario. The entrance starts off at Peaches Castle and you go through it to enter (sort of like Disney World). Here are some of the rides. First off, there’s Mario Kart. This ride will be based on Mario Kart 8. There will be an illusion where you’re driving upside-down (much like the game), the experience will be unforgettable. It will actually feel like you’re driving in a hardcore racer. If that’s not your sort of thing, then head on down to Luigi’s Mansion. Professor E. Gadd will tell you how to use the poltergeist. The walls you walk through are screens, and ghosts will appear on the screens and you have to catch them. You  can also collect money and the objects are interactive. For example, if you use the poltergeist on a vase, the vase will move as if it were there.

Water Temple:

If the weather is getting the best of you and you need to cool off from all the excitement, make your way down to the Water Temple, a water park based on the Legend of Zelda Ocorina Of Time. It will be an indoor water park that will have a lot of unique slides. I’m not going to say anything else, because I want to keep it suspenseful, but lets just say they don’t call it the Water Temple for nothing.

Throw Back Arcade:

Welcome back to your childhood! When you set foot into the Throw Back Arcade, you’re back to playing with power! For the adults who have a hidden inner child, and want to re-live their memories of the first Nintendo gaming consoles, head on down to the Throw Back Arcade. Featuring every single Nintendo gaming console, from the Game And Watch System to the Nintendo Game Cube, along with all the the top hits, this arcade is the only one of its kind. You’re welcome.

Conclusion:

That’s all for today guys, however that was just a sneak peek. If you thought those ideas were good, you are not prepared for the amazing assets of this theme park. One more thing: there is going to be trivia contests about Nintendo, in which you’ll be able to win awesome prizes. There is not a doubt in my mind that you will be planning your second visit before you leave. With that being said, I’ll see you there. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to call Kirby so he can pick me up on his warp star and take me home.

 

 

 

Nintendo character countdown

Yoshi, the dinosuar.

by Torrae Swindell

These are my top  5 Nintendo characters, so if you don’t see your favorite don’t be surprised. Nintendo’s characters were created by Shigeuru Miyamoto. If you’re a Nintendo fan, help support it or join club Nintendo. Now, without further, ado lets get on with the countdown.

5: Captain Olimar

Captain Olimar is a character from a game called Pikmin. This brave explorer is a hard worker who has loyal friends by his side. Captain Olimar’s friends belong to a species known as the Pikmin (also the name of the game!); these tough, feisty friends won’t back down from a fight. Only one thing, Pikmin need a commander in order to fight–and who else to command them than the one and only captain Olimar? With Olimar’s leadership and the Pikmin’s loyalty, the Bulborbs and other creatures don’t stand a chance.

4: Yoshi

Yoshi is a character from the game Yoshi’s island.Yoshi is Mario’s friendly dinosaur friend. He has a frog-like tongue that’s sticky, and he uses it for to eat distant fruit. Yoshi also uses his froglike tongue to eat his enemies. Yoshi can produce eggs that he throws at hard to reach places. He can also hover in the air for a short period of time. Yoshi may be cute and cuddly on the outside, but on the inside he’s tougher than a piece of wood.

3: Link

Link is a character from the game Legends of Zelda. Link is a is a Hyrulian Knight, meaning that he comes from a place called Hyrule.  He goes on dangerous quests to save princess Zelda from the evil Gannondorf, the king of demons. Throughout these quests, Link runs into this old man who gives him weapons or items that aid him throughout him quests. When he helps Link, the old man usually says, with a famous quote; “Its dangerous to go alone, take this.” Some of the items he gives Link include a sword, a shield, a boomerang, a grappling hook. These items help Link solve the puzzles he encounters on his quests.

2: Mario

Mario is a character from the game Super Mario Bros. Mario is an Italian plumber from the mushroom kingdom who saves princess Peach from the evil Bowser. Mario has a brother named Luigi, who is taller than Mario and can jump higher than Mario. Mario wears red, and Luigi wears green. Mario has a small mushroom friend named Toad, and Mario can use mushrooms to grow bigger. There is also this flower called the Fire Flower, that allows Mario to throw fire balls.

Kirby, the pink puff.

1: Kirby

Kirby is a character from the game Kirby’s Dream Land. Kirby is a cute little pink puff that lives in a little country called Dreamland, on the planet Popstar. You’re probably thinking, ‘how can an innocent pink puff be a legendary hero?’ Well, Kirby can inhale his enemies and copy their abilities. If you think you can overpower this ball of fluff, think again! Kirby can eat you in less than a second, and can steal your personality forever if he wanted to. Yes, he is that dangerous.
