Video Gaming

Do you like video games? That’s a silly question. Of course you do! How about over 5,000 square feet filled to the brim with both modern and retro game consoles and arcade machines? We’ll have a wide variety of classic hits and new games for you to come and enjoy!

For Anime Milwaukee 2012, the Video Game Room will be back, and bigger and better than ever before thanks to our move to the Frontier Airline Center!

Come to the game room to kick and back and enjoy a game between panels or engage in the fierce, competitive tournament scene. We’ll have a huge selection of video games, ranging from the beloved classics to the current generation hits.

Our staff is dedicated to giving you the best possible convention experience for 2012!

FAQs:

Q. Can I bring in a video game or console to play on?
A. You sure can! Just notify the staff and we will be happy to set things up for you. Please keep in mind that if there is a lot of activity (i.e. during a tournament or a busy time of day), we may have to delay your request until a spot is available.

Q. Can I donate something to the game room in exchange for a badge/free admission?
A. This is negotiable. If we are missing key game materials (i.e. games or consoles that we need for a tournament we plan to run), then we can do so after discussing with Convention Operations and Registration. For the most part though, we will not be offering a free badge for games/consoles unless it’s necessary.

Q. An arcade machine ate my quarters! What do I do?
A. Notify a staff member and tell him or her about it. We’ll get one of our arcade vendors to come over and help you right away.

Q. I think I broke something on accident. What do I do?
A. Don’t panic! Just come to the staff table and let us know. We’ll ask you about what happened, write down all the information we need, and take it from there. Accidents happen. We would never want an attendee to feel attacked or accused just because something bad happened.

Q. I want to sign up for a tournament! Where do I go?
A. Go to the staff table and ask for a sign-up sheet for the tournament of your choice. If you have a specific question about tournaments, tournament rules, etc, then ask our tournament director Nick Markey.
