The convention is host to hundreds of pinball and retro arcade games that are all open for free play, a vendor hall where you can buy almost any game you can think of (yes, I found and almost purchased <strong>Zelda: Wand of Gamelon</strong>) and also features a number of panels hosted by game creators, personalities and other members of the industry.</p> <figure class="picture strip"><a title="57546452 1155919951257002 4659845469537566720 N" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/37f27560f409b/57546452-1155919951257002-4659845469537566720-n.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/37f27560f409b/57546452-1155919951257002-4659845469537566720-n.900x.jpg" alt="57546452 1155919951257002 4659845469537566720 N"></a></figure> <p>The convention does a great job of highlighting the best games of the past, but also shows off some pretty important gaming relics too. From the power suits used in the Nintendo World Championships to the unreleased Nintendo Playstation prototype, you’re bound to see some pretty crazy stuff here.</p> <figure class="picture strip"><a title="58372753 2346043882295893 117735073742061568 N" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/25d425715c0fe/58372753-2346043882295893-117735073742061568-n.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/25d425715c0fe/58372753-2346043882295893-117735073742061568-n.900x.jpg" alt="58372753 2346043882295893 117735073742061568 N"></a></figure> <p>Needless to say, we had a great time playing games, checking out the dealer’s wares and meeting some industry vets.
