Capcom Announces Comic Con Line-up

capcombooth.jpg

Comic Con is right around the corner and it's shaping up to be just as busy for Tiny and yours Brutely as E3! Obviously, with just the two of us there we weren't able to cover everything we wanted to and fortunately, Comic Con is giving us an opportunity to catch up on everything me missed. Capcom has sent along their line-up for the weekend and it looks like they have a lot of stuff going on! Appearances by Mega Man and Harvey Birdman, demos, some Nerdcore rappin', Lost Planet tournaments, an autograph session with Phoenix Wright producer Minae Matsukawa and a Phoenix Wright cosplay contest just to name a few.

Looks like another action packed weekend for the dynamic duo, so keep an eye out for us at Comic Con if you are going. If there are enough people there , we should do a little GayGamer gathering. If you'll be attending Comic Con, let us know in the comments!

Make the jump to check out Capcom's full line-up!

2007 Comic-Con Schedule

Check booth announcements for possible updates

Show hours: 10am-7pm daily, 10am – 5pm on Sunday

Thursday

10:00am - 2:00pm - Mega Man ZX Advent costumed actor (new costume)
We’ve got an amazing new Mega Man suit, and someone’s a-gonna be wearin’ it. Thrill to the exciting new look of the next-gen Blue Bomber as our Mega Man poses, then possibly loiters a little, and then poses again!

11:00am - 1:00pm - Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix tournament
A minute to learn, a lifetime to master. It was a big hit at E3, but this will be the gaming public’s first chance to get hands-on with the classic competitive puzzling favorite. SPF2T:HD Remix has a fresh new High-Def look as well as the new “X Prime” mode, featuring all-new drop patterns and rebalanced characters, so the competition is anybody’s game.

2:00pm - 4:00pm - Nerdcore showcase (Ultraklystron, Nursehella, Beefy)
Day 1 of our Nerdcore parade. Check out their myspace pages to get a taste of what these alpha-nerds are cooking.

4:30pm - 6:30pm - Lost Planet XBOX 360 tournament
Q: What goes better together than Lost Planet’s icey goodness and hot hot competition? A: Nothing. Come one, come all to our Lost Planet tournament extravaganza. Entry is first-come, first-served and space is limited, so make sure to show up early to secure your spot!

4:30pm - 5:30pm - Shade autograph session featuring Shade writer Marv Wolfman, character designer Dave Daniels, and studio head Dave Dies.

Capcom’s Shade II is the follow up to the first ever MMWRPG (Massively Multiplayer Wireless Role-Playing Game), Shade (let’s call it “Shade 1” retroactively). Shade II’s new interactive world of dark fantasy is powered by some serious talent, and we’ll Capcom Interactive Canada studio head and executive producer Dave Dies, character designer Dave Daniels, and famed comics writer Marv Wolfman (Teen Titans, Blade) at the booth to sign your assorted trinkets.


Friday

10:00am - 2:00pm - Harvey Birdman Actor
Not just ANY Harvey Birdman actor either -- it’s the real guy from the cartoon show. But wait -- real guy from a cartoon show? Well… yes. Think back to the live-action segments of Harvey Birdman, and you’ve got the picture. That’s the dude we’ll have strutting around. He’s sure to be full of hot gossip about life on the set, which he probably won’t share with you.

10:00am - 2:00pm - Mega Man costumed actor
Supposing Dr. Wily hasn’t caught up with him overnight, Mega Man will be back and cold lampin’ at our booth.

11:00am - 1:00pm - Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix tournament
Get schooled yesterday? Take another shot today. As before, space is limited!

2:00pm - 4:00pm - Nerdcore showcase (The Sucklord, Ytcracker, Former Fat Boys)
Another powerpacked Nerdcore lineup! Also, a guy in a Boba Fett outfit with a boombox (Sucklord). You are commanded not to miss it!

4:30pm – 5:30pm - Ace Attorney producer Minae Matsukawa autograph session
The queen of all things Ace Attorney will grace us with her presence at this Comic-Con, even deigning to sign your grubby stuff, including the show exclusive Ace Attorney posters that will be available.

4:30pm - 6:30pm - Lost Planet XBOX 360 tournament
The beatings will continue until morale improves, or at least until we’ve got a champion. It’s another Lost Planet tournament! Each day is an independent event, so if you got knocked out (or even if you won) before, you’re welcome back.

5:30pm - 6:30pm - Shade autograph session featuring Shade writer Marv Wolfman, character designer Dave Daniels, and studio head Dave Dies.

Second verse, same as the first. Unfortunately for all of you, I am a Teen Titans nut, and so will be first in line to make Marv Wolfman sign everything I own until he falls over dead. No cuts.


Saturday

10:00am - 2:00pm - Mega Man costumed actor (new costume)
That’s right: the costume rides again.

11:00am - 12:00pm - Ace Attorney producer Minae Matsukawa autograph session
Supposing she hasn’t suffered crippling hand cramps, Matsukawa-san will return to turn your worthless junk into eBay gold with her magical signature.

11:00am - 1:00pm - Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix tournament
Could be your last chance to prove your mettle amidst the dizzying highs and devastating lows of competitive Puzzle Fighting.

1:00pm - 2:00pm - Ace Attorney cosplay contest judged by Cosplay.com and Ace Attorney producer Minae Matsukawa autograph session

“Objection!”s are sure to be flying as we invite all Ace Attorney cosplayers to strut their stuff for Capcom staff, the veterans from Cosplay.com, and special celbrity judge Matsukawa-san. As the saying goes, the more Franziska von Karmas, the merrier!

2:30pm - 3:30pm - Random
Rap impresario Random will be spitting rhymes from his brand new Mega Man-inspired album, “Mega Ran.”

4:30pm - 6:30pm - Lost Planet XBOX 360 tournament
Hopefully you’ve learned something about the game by now, but if not, we’re sure someone will show you the error of your ways again by sniping you from afar.

4:15PM - 5:15pm - Shade autograph session featuring Shade writer Marv Wolfman, character designer Dave Daniels, and studio head Dave Dies.


Sunday

Join us on Sunday, July 29th from 11:30pm to 12:30pm for a panel with Marv Wolfman, in convention center room 4. The panel will discuss all things Shade related, but specifically Shade II, the follow up to the first ever MMWRPG (Massively Multiplayer Wireless Role-Playing Game), Shade. Shade II is a brand-new interactive world of dark fantasy by Capcom Interactive Canada studio head and executive producer Dave Dies, character designer Dave Daniels and famed comics writer Marv Wolfman (Teen Titans, Blade) designed to show the world just how fun (and addicting) the world of mobile gaming can be. Look for the official Shade novel and graphic novel in March 2008 from Prima Games. Marv Wolfman’s appearance is made possible by Prima Games, an imprint of Random House, Inc.

1:30pm - 3:00pm - Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo EVO Finals

3:30pm - 4:30pm - Street Fighter Exhibition against EVO tournament pros
Like to talk trash about your Street Fightin-skills? You know you do! Now it’s time to step up and take your shot against some of the best in the world for fame and prizes. A selection of EVO specialists will be on hand to administer beatdowns and protect their precious treasure trove. Take them out and win a prize. Step up and take your best shot!

I will most definitely be there (as Aquaman, of course). I can't wait! The idea of having a Gaymer Gathering sounds fantastic! Especially since I missed the previous get-togethers. I'll see y'all there!

Heya,

I'll be there. I'm a grad student at UCI and was thinking about covering the "gay" side of comic-con.

Any suggestions?

Would like to gay up the place a bit, haha.

Let me know how I can help.

Northwest Nerdcore has live preview mp3's up of the (who else) Nerdcore artists from the Pacific Northwest. I am absolutely thrilled that nerdcore has finally become a part of comicon, and really wish I could be there.

Peace, TG
