Video Gaming Room

Otakuthon's Video Gaming room is back again, now bigger and better than ever! We've brought back all the old favorites; multiple stations with today's modern consoles running the latest games, both North American and Japanese, retro consoles featuring video games from yesteryear, as well as other video gaming events like our video game tournaments and DDR!  In keeping with this year's Vocaloid theme, we are announcing a new rhythm games station!

Due to popular demand, we have added even more PC LAN stations, featuring games like League of Legends and Starcraft II, for both casual and tournament play.

So whether you're new to video gaming or have been video gaming for years, everyone is welcome at Otakuthon's Video Gaming Room!

BYOC!

Convention-goers are highly encouraged to BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Controller). This will make things easier for both the convention and your fellow players.

Dance Dance Revolution (DDR)

DDR is back for yet another year of dancing fun! All the main attractions are returning so that everyone can enjoy themselves, whatever their skill level!

If you're in a competing mood, we have our classic Standard and Heavy tournaments or for our casual dancers, who would like to enjoy a competitive event, there will be several Light-level mini-contests available.

To all those dancing machines out there, you spoke, we listened, and for the first time ever we will be hosting a no holds barred tournament to be played at the highest difficulty levels with modified settings - so go all out!

There will also be plenty of freeplay if you want to dance without pressure and enjoy the upbeat mood of the DDR station. The more the merrier, so bring your friends and hope to see you there!

Doujin games are made by and often published by fans, covering the entire spectrum of games. Some are inspired by commercially made games, others are original, with some of these even inspiring commercial games or becoming published by major companies.
