It’s still more conceptual than actual, but Nintendo and Universal Studios Japan are teasing a more complete video look at what their new Mario- | themed real-world venture is going to look like.
Dubbed “Super Nintendo World,” the new park—to be located in Osaka, and due in time for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics—is mostly computer-generated in the video, thereby allowing Nintendo’s roly-poly plumber to sprint, bound and flip as human park-goers stare in wonder.

Some of my favorite books of the past few years have been National Book Award winners from the Young People's Literature category. If you like having your | heart ripped out, stomped on a few times and shoved back in your chest, you can't beat winners like Sherman Alexie's Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian or Kathryn Erskine's Mockingbird. Alas, they're both just regular ol' fiction. So I was excited to see that a fantasy novel had won this year.
