Nintendo fans, get your game for the San Diego Comic-Con. The gaming giant is building a rather strong front with notable games all around at the Nintendo Gaming Lounge.
The old and new will love the event, since there's literally an activity for everyone. Nintendo Life obtained the lineup of events for Nintendo.
The first stop, happening on July 21, 22, and 24, is the Play Nintendo Challenge. Three Wii U titles, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, and Pokken Tournament, will be included in the three eliminations event. Players will be in groups on a first-come, first-served basis. All participants need are 30 minutes to compete and a chance to get giveaways. Winners, of course, will get an exclusive champion Nintendo shirt.
On July 22, there's a Yo-Kai Watch voice actor event featuring a Q&A session, voice demos and reading from Season 2 of the anime. The day after, July 23, those who are 12 years old and below can participate in the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament, at 2:00 p.m.
For the entire event, from July 21 to 24, Pokemon fans can meet up with other Pokemon players to do some serious trading and get some serious Pokemon SDCC swag items, all happening in a Pokemon gaming zone.
Nintendo will be providing photo opportunities throughout the entire event. The likes of Pikachu, Mario, Luigi, Kirbi and Yo-Kai Watch's Jibanyan will be roving around so fans can take some snapshots.
Attendees should plan their trips, because apart from these events, Nintendo also has several games available for sampling at the Lounge.
Some of these include Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Splatoon, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, and Metroid Prime: Federation Force at the forefront.
The Nintendo Gaming Lounge will be open to fans from July 21 to 24. From Thursday to Saturday, it will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with a shorter scheduled on Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It's located at the first floor of the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, just a little way away from the main arena.
