Walking onto the New York Comic Con from the press line it’s impossible to miss Asura’s Wrath. It was in the back corner of Capcom’s booth but you could hear the screaming from almost anywhere around the booth.

No convention would be complete without its fair share of cosplayers and the 2011 New York Comic Con was no exception.

There were characters ranging from popular superheroes, video game characters, anime heroes, and some sci-fi characters.

There was also a lot of Adventure Time, although the photos I took of those characters didn’t turn out too well.

Here’s a collection of the best cosplay photos I was able to take in between waiting in line for panels, panels and waiting in line for video game demos.

Mario is coming to the 3DS this year with Super Mario 3D Land but, first, the game visited New York Comic Con. It was there that I was able to briefly play the game. To preface what I thought about 3D Land, I’ll say that I was never a huge fan of previous 3D Mario more »

At the end of Saturday’s Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 panel, Capcom surprisingly had an announcement that wasn’t previously leaked. The next version of the crossover fighting game will have a card combat mode called Heroes & Heralds.

As you’d expect Microsoft was at New York Comic Con showing off it’s latest games, with Halo Anniversary being one of the main demos. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to try out the updated single player experience but I was able to play a game of multiplayer on a classic map.

Final Fantasy XII-2 is the second time Square-Enix has attempted to create a direct sequel to a Final Fantasy game, and keeping in the tradition of Final Fantasy X-2, XIII-2 keeps the characters the same but changes up the rest of the game enough to make it feel new.

The latest Activision-published Spider-Man game, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, was just released earlier this month. You would think some time would pass before we see the web-slinger in action once again. Nope. We have to remember this is Activision we’re talking about, and this company has never been shy about releasing similar games at a brisk pace. As such, Activision and developer Beenox will take on Spider-Man again next year with the release of The Amazing Spider-Man.

Like many other companies, Ubisoft is taking to the 2011 New York Comic Con this weekend to promote itself and its wares. Well, more than that actually. Ubisoft will also be hawking its wares. While previous NYCC announcements from Nintendo and Square Enix seem to be promoting the free experiences and items the companies will have at its booths, Ubisoft’s notice is about promoting and pre-orders.

Ubisoft will be found in the Javits Center with the other game companies, snugly occupying booths 1322 and 1338…
