CoreCon eGaming

CoreCon eGaming

eGaming is for all things video game related. We plan to have many game stations to try the most innovative new games, classic games and consoles, and hold tournaments with prizes for several different genres including Beat Rhythm, First Person Shooter, Fighting, and more.

We plan on supporting a diverse setup to include many different consoles, game genres, and gamer types. The only bias we may have is a tendency towards multiplayer games given the social environment, however single player game won't be completely absent. We will have several Xbox 360s hooked up in a LAN capable of accommodating up to 16 players at a time. The Wii will be present with many games available such as Wii Sports and Super Smash Brothers Brawl. We will also have a system set up with Rock Band, including a Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, and Microphone. Don't forget to bring your handheld systems as there are likely to be other gamers around to play with. Last but not least, we hope to have several classic game consoles and Wiis loaded with virtual console games to support the classics that remain enjoyable still for the veteran gamers and new gamers alike.

While everything will be initially setup for people to come right in and start playing, we offer a wide selection of games which can be requested at any time during the con at the e-gaming staff table. A full list is unavailable due to potential changes between now and the next con, however, we would be more than happy to confirm any games or systems you may be expecting.
