London (CNN Business) Gaming fanatics will soon be able to play real-life versions of their favorite Nintendo titles, Universal Studios Japan has promised, as it teased details about its new theme park.

Super Nintendo World is set to open this summer in Osaka — in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo which are expected to bring tourists to the country in huge numbers.

Plans for the project have been kept under wraps but Universal Studios Japan gave fans a glimpse on Tuesday, launching a website and a promotional video set to a new song from Galantis and Charli XCX.

Visitors will also use wearable "power-up bands" to take part in a virtual experience based on Mario's Mushroom Kingdom Universe.
