The Cosplayers of New York Comic-Con

It’s time to take a break from the videos and look at the other attractions that populated Comic Con. No, it wasn’t all the free schwag we got (though we’ll be making an article about that later). It’s the cosplayers, and boy were there many. With the Jacob Javits Center packed to the brim with comic fans, animation and anime fans, and gamers (and nary a jock in sight), you were bound to bump into a cosplayer or two (or, say, seven). As many of you know, cosplay is serious business, and these people were ready to display the best of what they had. We have over 70 pictures, and you can view them all after the break!

[NYCC] Hands On With Asura’s Wrath

Leave a reply

Some call this the Asian God of War. Others call it “AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,” Regardless, Asura’s Wrath, Capcom’s latest brawler, seems to be gaining some steam from its humble days during its reveal. From what the crew has played, we can see why.

[NYCC] Hands-On With Dragon’s Dogma

Leave a reply

Suikoinfinity tries out this unique, almost Monster Hunter-like game from Capcom. Not much else to really say about this game.

[NYCC] Hands On With Street Fighter X Tekken

Leave a reply

The crew plays two matches in Street Fighter X Tekken. It seems to fight exactly as you’d expect from the SF4 engine, with extra features inspired by Tekken Tag Tournament (and a little bit of Darkstalkers too!). Do mind the blurriness and the sudden jump cuts. Video conversions kinda dropped the vid feed (like in the Rauman Origins vid) and I had to cut them out. Apologies.

[NYCC] Hands On With Rayman Origins

Leave a reply

The crew tries out a little bit of Rayman Origins. Things seem to go well at first, until they reach a point quite puzzling. Through some miracle, they make it through. And then… they break the game by accidentally activating the game’s Debug mode (toward the end). Enjoy

[NYCC] Kirby Returns to Dreamland Hands-On Preview

Leave a reply

Kirby returned to consoles after nearly a decade with Kirby’s Epic Yarn, and now he’s returning to Dreamland in his latest adventure. Watch as Prota (Kirby), Suikoinfiniy (King Dedede), Steven “DPX” (Meta Knight), and Hachi (Waddle Dee) wreck utter mayhem all over Dreamland. We’ll discuss our impressions of this game in a later article.

*sidenote: Our battery was low, so you won’t see the craziness that occurred once the footage was cut.

[NYCC] Sonic Generations 3DS Hands-On Preview

Leave a reply

Before trying out the console version of Sonic Generations on Sunday, James tried out the 3DS version last Friday as New York Comic Con. The demo contain Sonic & Knuckles’ Mushroom Hill and Big Hand boss.

[NYCC] Shinobi Hands-On Preview

Leave a reply

Witness Hachi try out the new Shinobi game coming out for the 3DS. From the looks of it, this game is going to live up to the ninja game= hard as hell trope, complete with precise mechanics, tough patterns, and background enemy tomfoolery. Also, listen as Steven “DPX” makes an ass of himself explaining this and be on the lookout for Prota’s random sniffing of Hachi.

[NYCC] Super-Mario 3D Land Hands-On 3-Part Preview

Leave a reply

Mario finally makes his debut on the 3DS with Super Mario 3D Land. Suikoinfinity and Prota play the four stages of the demo. Part 1 is up there. Hit the break for part 2 and part 3.

[NYCC] Dragon Quest Monsters 2 Hands-On Preview

Leave a reply

Here’s our only demo for the regular DS. Prota plays some Dragon Quest Monsters 2, a game that allows you to catch monsters, fight with them, and fuse them together to create new ones. If you’ve ever played Dragon Quest V, then think of the monster recruitment from that game, but expanded upon. If you haven’t played DQV, then you should! And as an added bonus, Steven the Slime makes his debut!

[NYCC] Mario Kart 7 Hands-On Preview

Leave a reply

Here’s Steven “DPX” trying out Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS. Unfortunately, it looks like our camera girl kinda borked the recording as it seems like she thought she was recording, when in fact she wasn’t. The demo was 3 races long. All that was recorded here was the last lap of the last race.

[NYCC] Pokemon Rumble Blast Hands-On Preview

Leave a reply

Here comes the first wave of videos we’ve done over the weekend at New York Comic-Con. Many laughs, many woahs, and many hurt feet were had at the convention. But all was good. Here’s Suikoinfinity trying out Pokemon Rumble Blast.

The semester has just started, but already the work is piling on and the first grades are probably in. We know you’re stressed out already. So here’s your chance to take a break from the mayhem, and break your opponent with a crazy ass combo! This tournament, held by the Bushido Anime Club and VGA, will be taking place at Lehman College’s Student Life Building. The campus is located at 250 Bedford Park Boulevard West, Bronx, NY. If you’re going by train, your best bet is to take the 4 Train or the D Train. This is open to all CUNY students. The Student Life Building is located at the southern section of the campus. You are on the second floor when you enter the building, so you must go downstairs.
