With Anglesey having its very first comic con, and us being just down the road, it was a no-brainer!
The organisers gave us a table in the middle of the hall at Beaumaris Leisure Centre, so that we were able to use the plug socket, as we were the only exhibitors that planned to use a television screen.
All day, we held a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Time Trial. We used standard setup, with pro controller (plugged in) and the track “Electrodrome”
We were offering everyone who took part a guaranteed prize, using a sort of tombola/lucky dip kind of idea.
Our challenge was so popular, that in fact we ran out of prizes by 2pm!! The fastest time would win £10 eShop credit at the end of the day. (Well done to Paul G with his time of 2:15.796!)
The other tables were full of film/sci-fi based things, and there was also a guy doing zombie caricatures on request.
On the far side there was a green screen for the cosplayers to take photos with, and the main stage was for the cosplaying competitions that happened in the middle of the day.
The event itself was very well attended, but once the cosplaying events had finished, it started to get quiet. A few still kept coming over to try out the challenge on our table, finishing with a guy dressed as the Joker!
1,2 Switch was playing on two consoles, and Danny’s ended up being at 1% by the end!
Thanks to Dale and Emma for also taking some photos!
