The Hylia - Zelda: Comic-Con Coverage

Home | News | Comic-Con Coverage!




Alright! I'm off to Comic-Con with ThePrincessZelda. Hopefully if you're going to be there, you have some way to get in contact with me. I will have internet access from the place I am staying, and I will be doing updates on my IGN blog, so I will direct you there in a moment. I have a schedule of things to check out, but it seems the DS booth is just like the E3 booth, so I am hoping Phantom Hourglass is there (nobody has confirmed this one way or the other). So keep checking back here for the link to the Comic-Con blog I will be running.

Comic-Con International, commonly known as Comic-Con or the San Diego Comic-Con, is an annual multigenre fan convention founded as the San Diego Comic Book Convention in 1970 by Shel Dorf. It is traditionally a four-day event (Thursday through Sunday) held during the summer in San Diego, California, at the San Diego Convention Center.

Originally showcasing comic books and film, the convention has expanded over the years with exhibits on other popular arts, including science fiction, fantasy, animation, collectible card games and video games. The convention is the largest of its kind in the United States, with an estimated 104,000 individual attendees in 2005. In 2006, the convention will take place from July 20 to July 23, with a preview night on July 19th for pre-registered members.

Nintendo® offers countless comic book and video game fans at the annual Comic-Con in San Diego a chance to try their hands at upcoming games for Nintendo DS™, including Elite Beat Agents™, Mario™ Hoops 3 on 3, Pokémon® Mystery Dungeon, Star Fox® Command and many more. Meet Mario. Special guest Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, will also be available throughout the show for autographs. Popular Nintendo characters Link and Mario will make appearances.

Visitors are encouraged to dress as their favorite Nintendo character to increase their chances of winning swag. Fans should visit the Nintendo booth for prizes and more, including exclusive 8" x 10" oversized postcards given out each day (perfect to collect as a set and have Charles sign). Other giveaways include Nintendo DS Lite systems and Nintendo DS software. Attendees can visit the booth to download Nintendo DS trials and demos of games. Fans can also visit the multi-player zone and compete with other Nintendo DS players.
