ACen 2013: Top 10 Nintendo-related Cosplayers (Plus a Bunch More Cosplay!) [top ten]

ACen 2013 was only my second time capturing cosplay in photo form (C2E2 2013 being my first) and I feel the same now as I did then; it is essentially a meta game of the convention. Think of it as being a bit like Pokémon Snap. You have to stay constantly alert because you never know where and when these strange creatures (I say this lovingly!) will appear, and when you see one pop out, you need to act fast or you may lose your chance.
Two of my biggest failures (which would definitely have made my list had I gotten the photos) were a pretty wicked Viewtiful Joe that strolled right past me and disappeared into the crowd before I had time to react, and a huge Koffing that I saw from a distance, figured I would run into again, and... never ran into again.
Still, I managed to do a pretty decent job of it, I believe.
This isn’t simply a top 10 list, however. I decided to make it a combination top 10 list and general cosplay photo feature, so I’m throwing in a bunch more photos at the bottom, including non-Nintendo and even non-video game stuff.
Enjoy! And make sure to let me know in the comments which ones are your favorites!

As stated above, here are a bunch more of the cosplay photos that I took, all in one place. Bam! Video Game CosplayThree of the cast of the Phoenix Wright games One of the many Silent Hill Pyramid Heads that I saw A pretty solid Jack from the Mass Effect series Yep, there was even someone representing Catherine there! And I saw this elderly woman who turned her walker into a kart to be Peach from Mario Kart Proto Man from the Mega Man games + a hilarious photo bomber Hector? from the Fire Emblem series A bunch of Halo Spartans (be still, Stephen’s heart...) One of the many, many pairs of Mario and Luigi Morrigan from Darkstalkers (or Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, to make her Nintendo-relevant) A closer shot of the “Nintendo Power” panel, including a pretty wicked Captain Falcon Dante from the Devil May Cry games posing with some fans The Castle Crashers again (trying to get all of my cosplay in one place here) Other Assorted CosplayThe Mighty Morphin Power Rangers heck yeah! Iron Woman, although the lighting in this one didn't turn out so well Yep, this guy again, who I have been informed is Sailor Bubba and he has his own Bobble Head! Full Metal Alchemist, one of my favorite animes The obvious question can be asked... why not Zoidberg? The Little Mermaid, which seemed kind of random Some guy in a chicken head, no clue if this is from something or just a random chicken head Not really sure what she is from, she was just sitting there in the middle of the floor Because Stache seems to think I’m the only fan... a guy from The Aquabats! L from Death Note being all L-like No idea what these are from, to be honest. Anyone? And that is pretty much all that I have for cosplay photos. Remember to tell me in the comments who your favorites were, whether Nintendo-related or not! You can check out the rest of my ACen 2013 coverage right here!

Actually, there are a lot more parodies of Touhou, probably including an RPG. Game parodies of touhou include Touhoumon, Touhou soccer, fighting games, I think an earthbound parody, and probably many more. Most of the characters themselves don't really tie in, but of course in a fantasy land (literally what gensokyo means, eastern fantasy land) I guess anything is possible. Some characters actually have a reason to be there, such as Suika, who is an Oni, or Okuu, the raven who resides in hell. There are many, many, MANY characters, and some have a tragic backstory. Koishi Komeji could originally read minds, but due to the hate from everyone around her, she closed her heart away and released an even more powerful ability; the power of the subconscious. Flandre Scarlet is a vampire who is physically and mentally about five years old, but because of her extreme power of pretty much killing anyone she sees, she was locked away for 495 years, pretty much making her go insane. It might seem like a bunch of girls shooting bullets, but the series is actually pretty awesome. :3 |
