The event will have more than 100 tables from around 45 vendors. Organizers nintendo on you having a great time :)
Sudbury’s seventh Northern Game Expo is coming this Aug. 28 with more than 100 tables of retro to modern video games, comics, talented artists, anime and more for people to shop from. The event will be held at the Cambrian College gym at 1400 Barrydowne Rd. from noon to 5 p.m.
“We're in this timeline now where being a nerd is cool. It wasn't always cool when I was in high school,” Brad Davidson, one of the co-founders for the event told Sudbury.com. “And it's also to allow people my age or a little bit older to recapture their youth for a day, as well as showing their kids the systems and the games that we grew up playing with. “Because it's not all about Fortnite and Call of Duty, like I grew up playing Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog.
“Our first show was in October 2015. We decided to do a show like this mainly for the fact that there wasn't, at the time, really anything besides Graphic-Con in Sudbury that catered towards the video game aspect of trade shows that you see a lot of down south,” Davidson said. They are also planning to have local artist Rob Sacchetto, who specializes in zombie portraits, come in and paint a custom portrait for the winner of the cosplay contest.
