This is great news but I feel like Nintendo should be building their own theme parks.

From a business POV that would be very stupid to be honest. Theme parks are massively expensive. The new Disney park in Shanghai will cost almost $4.6 billion to make. 

Given the choice between a Disney or Universal park and a Nintendo one, most people would probably choose Disney or Universal too. 

Whereas working with Universal, Universal is actually probably the one paying Nintendo to do this. So that's a win-win. 

Well, Disney wouldn't ever make the Shanghai theme park if it wasn't going to be profitable. So although it's expensive, thme parks eventually do become profitable.
