Yes, I beat several of the streetpass games at Anime Central. It was a lot of fun!I got a ton of StreetPass tags at cons back in the day (only 20 at this one, sadly) and played the games extensively at them until the queue was introduced, but it wasn't limited to one con.
I got a ton of StreetPass tags at cons back in the day (only 20 at this one, sadly)Man I remember the days when I could just go about my normal daily business and get 5-10 Street Passes easily.
I have never been to a con of any variety, so I didn't know they had games set up and was quite confused by this very specific question. I thought you meant bringing a 3DS or something and playing it during the conEvery single one I've been to has had a video gaming room. An independent contractor handles the games for all the conventions in the state, though consoles and TVs sometimes belong to the convention itself. You can play games on practically any console from the NES onward, so long as the game you want is available in the menu. There are literally thousands. Not quite sure how it would be in Japan, though!

I'm pretty surprised at how many people here don't go to anime cons. That may require a topic itself...
are you kidding? I'm stunned at the number who DObane is probably one of the most well-adjusted and socially-competent b8ers
I kinda don't understand this.The latter. Sometimes you have to kill time until the next event you want to go to and the video game room is great for that.
Is there some kind of social or competitive component here? Or is this like, going in and taking a station and playing a game for a few hours?
and that sounds like a truly utterly insane way to spend a day that you left the house and spent money for, imoPlease note that I was at the con for about 48 hours, most of which were not spent gaming. That was merely to have something to do when there weren't any panels/events I wanted to attend and I'd already cased the vendor hall. I didn't even start in the game room until late Friday night because I was doing so much else.

Why would I go to an anime con if I've never watched an anime?Do you play JRPGs? That is relevant to the con as well. I don't watch much anime, either, yet I go to conventions because there are like-minded people there, video games, cool merchandise, voice actor guests, and panels that are actually interesting and not exclusive to anime.
This. I guess it could be an interesting experience, but I imagine I wouldn't be interested in most of what goes on.

No offense, but why would you want to when you paid to be there?Good way to pass the time between other things you're doing. I got my money's worth, and getting to play a game that I don't own was included in that value. Alongside going to six panels, getting Cassandra Lee Morris's autograph (and she read tarot for me and others), vendor hall access, talking to nerds, seeing cosplays.... you get the drift.
