Try out Sega's Wii line-up early

If you're in the New York area between February 6 - 8, we are now officially jealous of you, for something other than the fact that you live in New York.

Sega USA's blog informs us that House of the Dead: Overkill, Sonic and the Black Knight, MadWorld, and The Conduit will all be playable at the 2009 New York Comic-Con, which in our opinion makes the $30 fee for a Friday or Sunday ticket (or even the $40 for a Saturday pass) totally palatable. Alternatively, if you fancy being the jerk who hogs the Wii booths for a full three days, you can pony up $50 for the entire event.

Is this going to be the first time that madworld will be playable by the public?

Why can't anything like this happen in Iowa? The closest anything interesting gets is St. Louis, Chicago, or Wisconsin.

Because it's Iowa?

@ sjames7 good answer lmao yeah uh i don't think anything interesting ever happens in Iowa. Well at least Slipknot comes from Iowa, so Iowa isn't all that horrible.

You now... i didnt notice all this (apparently) great games will be published by Sega...

Maybe sega can get on top again, only by the power of the wii.

Who would've thought that Sega would be one of the finest, if not the finest, 3rd party software company for a Nintendo system ?

Eternal @ Jan 15th 2009 1:34AM

ironic how back in the day Mario & Sonic were rivals but now are allies and work together. I remember the 8 & 16bit days those were some good times.

I could go for this. Maybe my club at college will do a trip, but it isn't something i'd be up to myself

RatMasterD21 @ Jan 13th 2009 10:54PM

another reason it pays to live in new york..also i go to comic con and the anime fest every year so i was going anyway

@tomic @ Jan 13th 2009 11:06PM

Damn, I really wish I could go. Sucks being a minor and living a couple hours from NYC. My parents won't let me go there myself and there's no way they're taking me way over there just to play a few games at a convention that I otherwise wouldn't care about.

Trust me, being so close and yet so far away is far more torturous than being on the other side of the country...
