Ok. So I'll start off by saying, I have to make a note to ALWAYS go to a Nintendo's events three hours early than the event is planned. Today I had some free time and I headed down to Nintendo World for the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom launch event. When I got there around 12:30p.m. I thought to myself, it can't be too crowded (WRONG!), it was VERY crowded and FULL of people waiting on line to get a poster for the game's producer to sign. Being surprised by the how many people were there I got on line to get my poster.
While I waited on line for my poster there were a few things I saw. While I was walking up stairs there was a tournament being held. There was even a long line for that, which by the way the line ended little downstairs.
While I was on the line waiting I did see two cosplayers, one that was Ryu and another one as Gan Takedo from Yatterman. I didn't have time to take a picture of the Ryu cosplayer, but I did get a creepy picture of Gan Takedo cosplayer. I only say it looks creepy due to the fact the Iphone doesn't have flash and Nitendo World lack of light in their upper floor.
While waiting on the line I took a little picture of half long ass line. This was after two hours of waiting and how far I got from the middle of where they have all the Nintendo T-shirts to where all the Mario plushes were. I was so hungry too -_-;
After waiting for three hours and half hours I FINALLY was at the front of the line. Ryota Niitsuma was a really nice guy and seem to enjoy the fact that so many people came just to play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. One of his translators asked if the poster was for a boyfriend and I said "It's just for a friend of mine who is sick." and Ryota laughed. Then I shook Ryota hand and said "Thank you and thanks for making such an awesome game!"
When I finally got my poster Ryota moved over to where the tournament was taking place so he could say thank to all the people who came today. I only got a crappy picture of it due to the fact that I couldn't pass the tournament line.
Well after a long and tiring event, I went uptown to my friend's house to give him the poster. I only went in his place, because he got too drunk last night and I went alone. In the end he loved his poster and I had fun playing Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at Nintendo World. I'll just make note next time to come really early, because after I'm done with this blog, I'm going to sleep!
