So what do we know from the Nintendo trailer? We know that there will be a bracelet when entering the park. We know that the park can participate in recreational projects like playing video games. We know that the park will definitely sell the iconic Mario red hat.
Besides that, it’s hard to tell what specific entertainment items are in the trailer because it still looks “very game”, but this time the real person becomes the protagonist of the game. In addition to real people, there is one thing in this trailer that can reflect the reality of the paradise, that is the bracelet.
