Yeah I hope Capcom is there. How's the merch situation at the con? Is there some free stuff given out, or is it all stuff you have to buy?

And do they usually have booths with retro video game stuff? I know that Momocon had a fair amount of that, but it's a bit different from Wondercon.

I did get some free stuff last year but majority of it you have to buy unfortunately :( I did see some retro games last year but it was pretty minimal.

Woo cool pictures. That first retro game booth is insane though on those prices. They're all nutty, but really? $20 for a bare 'there's 5 million copies' of NES Tetris?
