Next Generation (http://www.next-gen.biz/) is reporting (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3434&Itemid=2) that several playable DS titles will be shown at the San Diego Comic Con that runs July 20-23.

Image Comic book and videogame fan bases largely overlap, and Nintendo is wisely taking advantage of that fact by debuting its DS games at this non-video game show. Show-goers will be able to try out Elite Beat Agents, Mario Hoops 3 on 3, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and Star Fox Command, among other titles.
Bonus for those already going to the Con. Lucky bastards.

Hey...didn't I read somewhere that crazyd is going to this? If so, let us know how they games were. Oh! Would you get me an autograph of Charles Martinet? I am so kidding. :D

I am going! I also have no clue who Charles Martinet is.

If Drew Melbourne is there, get an autograph from him.

And try Elite Beat Agents. I loved Ouendan and am curious as to how it will translate once it undergoes its North Americanization.

I also don't know who Drew Melbourne is, but will indeed try Elite Beat Agents.

He's the voice of Mario and I am so jealous.

I wonder why they're not showing Superman Returns for DS as well. Probably because it's as awful as the E3 previews said it was.

He's the creator of Archenemies, one of my favourite little comic series of recent memory and a guy who's just starting out in the comic biz. He'll probably be sitting at the Dark Horse booth.

Send him some love, EvAv style.

Osu! Tatakae! Oendan! rocks hardcore. I hope understanding the story doesn't ruin the hilarious experience.

Isn't EA style lovin' involve lighting him on fire while pooping on him?
You said it.
Oh, you aren't that far away from San Diego.

Well, yeah. I thought I was pretty clear with what I said before :)

Well, Elite Beat Agents isn't a direct port. It's a brand new game with new songs and a new set of cheerleaders and storyline. Plus it will make sense.

I agree though. A good 50% of Ouendan's fun is making up the story as you go along. I was showing it to people at work yesterday and they were wondering why I was playing a game entirely in Japanese. They just couldn't grasp the fun that comes from imagining what the heck is going on during all of those scenes.

I would LOVE to check out Elite Beat Agents. It would be nice if Nintendo could provide DS demos over the internet, since I don't have a handy DS kiosk nearby. :(

I'm suing you for false advertising in your signature. This post was roughly 50% positive. I can barely count the lack of a DS kiosk as negative. I'd label you downright hopeful!!

you'll be hearing from my lawyer ;)
