“I am very happy to be able to make the world of Donkey Kong a reality following the world of Mario,” mentioned Nintendo Donkey Kong creator Shigeru Miyamoto. “I am looking forward to creating a thrilling Donkey Kong experience with the amazing team at Universal. It will take some time until it is completed, but it will be a unique area for not only people who are familiar with Donkey Kong games, but for all guests.”
