Nintendo Announces Fun Lineup of Activities for New York Comic Con Attendees
NEW YORK--(October 10, in
the year of our Lord 2012)-- Nintendo is making sure
visitors to the New York Comic Con will have a treasure trove of
fun games and activities to keep them entertained. From Oct.
11-14, fans are encouraged to visit the Nintendo booth (No.
1510) at the Javits Center to play games and enjoy giveaways
such as special Paper Mario™: Sticker Star stickers (while
supplies last). Fans who collect all four stickers will then be
eligible to receive a special bonus sticker. The first 400 fans
who collect the special fifth sticker will receive a giant
sticker they can then attach to a massive, community-created
Paper Mario: Sticker Star billboard. Signs at the booth will let
visitors know when each sticker becomes available.
Paper Mario fans who are really into stickers can volunteer to
be “sticker-bombed.” At a station outside the main entrance of
the Javits Center, fans will have the opportunity to be covered
in as many Paper Mario: Sticker Star stickers as possible.
A booth in the Javits Center (No. 2921) will be dedicated
exclusively to tournaments featuring Nintendo 3DS™ games New
Super Mario Bros.™ 2 and Kid Icarus™: Uprising. Details are as
follows:
New Super Mario Bros. 2: Throughout the day, entrants can play
through different courses featured in the recently released
downloadable Coin Rush mode course packs. High scores will be
posted and updated throughout the day. All participants will
receive a Gold Mario pin for playing (while supplies last), and
the top scorer at the end of each day’s play period will receive
a Nintendo 3DS XL system.
Kid Icarus: Uprising: Throughout the day, up to six players at a
time can compete in five-minute Free-For-All rounds. At the end
of the qualifying period, the top 12 highest scorers of the day
will compete in three rounds of Free-For-All play, and whoever
has the highest combined score from those three rounds will be
the day’s champion. All participants will receive a Kid Icarus:
Uprising Series 2 AR Card pack (while supplies last). The top
scorers from each day will receive a Kid Icarus pin. The
champion from each day will win a Kid Icarus AR Card Core Set,
containing more than 400 cards that have been released to date
and a Nintendo 3DS XL system; each day’s second-place finisher
will receive a Kid Icarus AR Card Core Set.
