#segapax Come See Us at PAX This Weekend!We’re excited about going back to Seattle for PAX Prime 2011! SEGA will be on the show floor in booth 3625, and will have games, swag, fun, and more! The list of games that will be at our booth includes: Aliens: Colonial Marines We will also have games in Microsoft’s booth, and Nintendo’s booth as well. In addition to games, we’ll also have some awesome swag items for you to pick up at our booth. Some items are free to take, others require you to do something to get them. What will we have, and what do you have to do? We don’t want to spoil all the surprises for you, so you’ll have to stop by our booth (or read our blog this weekend) to find out! Attention cosplayers! If you’re wearing a SEGA-related costume, we want your photo! Find me (I’ll be at the reception desk) or Julian (he’ll be near Shinobi) and we’ll snap your photo for the blog. Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown at PAX!In case you missed it this morning, we are bringing the arcade version of Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown to play all weekend long during PAX at Gameworks! In a custom Lindbergh arcade station, straight from the Arcades of Japan (it still smells a bit smoky), we have Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown Ver. A on hand. This is the FIRST time to play the new version outside of Japan! Starting August 26th at 11am, the Seattle Gameworks will have the stations set up, ready to play, with our own Patrick Riley to explain some of the finer points of the game to the uninitiated. Gameworks Seattle August 26 – 11am – 8pm PAXtravaganza Party at GameWorksBut that’s not all we have going on at GameWorks! We got so many compliments about how fun our PAXtravaganza party was last year. Well, we thought so too, so we’re doing it again! We will have 2 hours of free arcade play, a raffle for some special prizes, food, drinks, and fun! This party is open to the public (you don’t need a PAX badge to attend) and is open to all ages. We are letting people in on a first-come, first served basis and once we reach the venue’s capacity, we will be letting more people in as people leave. Who: Open to the public, all ages allowed! Where: GameWorks, 1511 7th Avenue, Seattle, WA When: Saturday, August 27th from 6:00 PM until 12:00 AM Food & Drink: We will have food and non-alcoholic drinks available for everyone. If you are 21 or older and would like to drink alcohol, you will be carded and given a wristband at the door. Alcohol will be served in the bar area only. Game Play: You will receive a card good for 2 hours of free game play from the time you first start playing. You can re-load the card if you wish to keep playing after 2 hours. The card works in all arcade machines in GameWorks. We will not have any demos of games from the show floor at GameWorks. Prizes: We will be raffling off 20 pieces (one per winner) of rare custom-made merchandise. But we’re not going to tell you what it is yet! Trust us though, you want it. We created a Facebook event page for the event that you can RSVP on. Please note that doing so is optional and does not guarantee your entry to the party! #SEGAPAXWe’ll be tweeting photos and updates from the show! Use and follow #SEGAPAX for all the tweets about our booth, our games, our party at Gameworks, or anything you find that’s PAX and SEGA related. We’ll also be updating our Twitter, Facebook, and blog with news, photos, updates, and more throughout the show. | ||

I have been to a lot of SEGA events recently, but Seattle is definitely waaaay to distant for me ^^

Sorry Christine – the Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown machines will only be in the Seattle GameWorks, and only for this coming weekend (during PAX).

Quick update – we changed the time that Virtua Fighter is playable up until 8pm, down from 9pm. Still plenty of time to get in and check it out during the show, so don’t miss out!
