Super Nintendo World is planned for Universal Studios Singapore as part of Sentosa's new Greater Sentosa Master Plan.

Sentosa Development Corporation released the long-range plan July 3. The project would integrate Sentosa with the 120-hectare Brani area and add new hotels, attractions, transportation links, beach work, and visitor spaces over the next two decades.

For Universal Studios Singapore, the headline item is simple: Super Nintendo World is now part of the official future Resorts World Sentosa pipeline. A project opening date, attraction lineup, and land layout remain unannounced.

The new plan puts Super Nintendo World alongside Resorts World Sentosa's Waterfront Lifestyle Development, which is scheduled for completion in 2030.

The broader Greater Sentosa work is expected to roll out in phases from the early 2030s. Brani West is intended to become one of the largest attractions-development sites in the plan, with Sentosa already speaking with possible partners.

Universal Studios Singapore already has a strong Nintendo-sized opening in the Singapore market. The resort is Southeast Asia's first Universal Studios theme park, and Super Nintendo World would give Resorts World Sentosa a new franchise land tied to one of Universal's most visible recent park expansions.

Beaches, Imbiah, and Transport Changes

Outside Universal Studios Singapore, the plan includes Imbiah Canopy, a sheltered Imbiah Lookout Walk between Sensoryscape and Imbiah Lookout, and new nature-based attractions around Mount Imbiah.

Sentosa's Siloso, Palawan, and Tanjong beaches are also slated for coastal work, new lifestyle areas, beach-club concepts, and a floating boardwalk that would connect small islets along the beach stretch.

Transportation would change too. A new People Mover System is planned to replace the Sentosa Express and increase capacity between the mainland, Island Heart, and the rest of Greater Sentosa.
