Capcom at WonderCon 2017

Mar 29, 2017 // Yuri Araujo

Heads up, Capcom fans! We’re on our way to Anaheim, California to set up shop at WonderCon 2017 this weekend. Check out the full list of games and activities below:

First off, you gotta find us. That’s the easy part: our booth is pretty big, and if you have a map of the show floor, just look for #1137.

Now let’s bump up the difficulty a little more: look for the side of the booth that screams ‘90s nostalgia and you’ll see our stylin’ play area for The Disney Afternoon Collection. There, you can play two of the six games featured in the upcoming collection: the original 8-bit DuckTales or Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers (bring a buddy for co-op!) and walk away with the most radical giveaway ever:

Remember, you can also use our nifty Rewind feature to undo any unfortunate missed jumps. Just no blaming the controller, please!

Moving right along, let’s talk about Street Fighter. The renowned fighting game series where you fight other human opponents mano a mano in a battle of endurance, mind games, and lots of smack talk, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year! To celebrate such a momentous achievement, we will be hosting the Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Panel, on Saturday, April 1st (2:30pm – 3:30pm) in Room 300DE. We’ll be talking about the latest news surrounding this year-long celebration as well as updates on current and upcoming games, the Capcom Pro Tour, and more.

Come accept friendly fighting challenges at our booth and go hands-on with the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter II on Nintendo Switch, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Street Fighter V. We recommend spending some time practicing at home with that last one before the show, as we’re hosting tournaments on Saturday and Sunday with some awesome prizes! More details will be available at the booth.

Only one winner per tournament will walk away with one of these.

Speaking of competition, here’s a crazy twist on an already insane experience: throughout each day of the event, we will be collecting players’ scores from our Resident Evil 7 biohazard demo stations, where attendees can try the Nightmare mode fromBanned Footage Vol. 1 DLC. In this mode, players must use their wits and skill to survive a night locked in the basement of the Baker Mansion, unlocking upgrades and blasting the monstrous Molded to earn the high score. The top score of each day will go home with a highly coveted Collector’s Edition of the game! For more details, stop by our booth.

To wrap everything up, the Capcom Store will be featuring a wide selection of T-shirts, collectibles, plushies, and more. I just heard some old favorites will make a return, and if you like Felynes, I’d say… bring a big bag!

WonderCon 2017 starts this Friday, March 31st and goes until Sunday, April 2nd, at the Anaheim Convention Center. Our booth number is #1137 . See you there!
