I have no idea how I missed this one. I saw people walking around the Capcom booth with Dragon Quest slime shirts, and asked them where they got them, and apparently they got them from Nintendo. I didn’t even know Nintendo was here (they’ve skipped the last several years)! Upon searching around, however, I did find their small booth showing off Dragon Quest IX and Metroid: Other M.
Yeah, not much, but what they lacked in quantity they made up in quality. The playable Metroid: Other M demo is running in its own darkened theater, complete with a comfy armchair and a nice display. I was impressed. They also have Dragon Quest IX kiosks set up throughout the area with special maps available only at Comic Con. Unfortunately I forgot to photograph the shirts, but they’re blue with a white outline of a slime. Pretty cool!
And yes, I did drop by Square Enix’s booth to show them what they missed out on by not publishing the game here in the United States. They looked like they were ready to head over to the Nintendo booth to get their own shirts.
Hit the jump for our gallery of Nintendo’s booth. (more…)
