Ups and downs aside, you can always count on Nintendo to give gamers what they want when it comes to showing off key first and third-party titles. At next week’s New York Comic Con, the company is rolling out the big guns and as usual, their booth will be jammed from the minute fans step inside the Javits Center. In addition, there’s a Professor Layton anime premiere at the show as well as the Pokemon Gaming Lounge located near the convention center, so there’s definitely more than enough to do if you’re a huge Nintendo fanatic. Titles they’re showing include:

Nintendo 3DS
• Super Mario 3D Land
• Mario Kart 7
• The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™ 3D
• Star Fox 64™ 3D
• Tetris®: Axis
• Pokémon Rumble Blast
• Shinobi™ by SEGA®
• Sonic Generations™ by SEGA

Wii
• The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
• Fortune Street™
• Kirby’s Return to Dream Land™
• Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure™ by Activision Publishing Inc.

Nintendo DS
• Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker™ 2
• Professor Layton and the Last Specter

I’ll be there early on Thursday for some Skyward Sword time as well as a bit of Shinobi and heck, pretty much all the other titles because once you’re at the Nintendo booth, you’d better play everything in one shot before the crowds swarm and you’re booted out of the vicinity.
