Animefest NYC 2008 Cosplay Photos

A few gaming-related pics from last year’s Animefest, taken on 9/28/08 in NYC.

Up first, a dude dressed as a nun playing Guilty Gear on the floor. I decided to start this list off strong, as you can tell.

Not sure why it was deemed that a closer look was necessary. Turns out that it was totally and completely necessary.

A splendid Princess Peach outfit, and my buddy Jay.

Now who is this fellow…My friend decided to ask…

“I AM THE BLACK MAGE!!!!!” said he.

I’m not too sure what this is, but it looks like some kid threw up a Pokemon and decided to wear it. That lady behind him looks even more bewildered than I did.

As if DK Bongo Blast wasn’t embarassing enough…

Here we get a rare treat…the Game & Watch mating ritual. He looks pleased.

If you somehow managed to replace the badassery of Vincent with the skill of “dorkery”, you might be able to describe this picture. Is that a real skill?

You don’t see the all girl Devil May Cry cosplay team in action that often, so I weasled my way into a picture before they went off to do….whatever it is they do…

Auditioning for Brett Ratner? Could Guitar Hero:The Movie have its lead? The world will (hopefully) never know…

Donkey Kong looks thinner since I last saw him…and slightly less hairy. Good for him.

Wait…is it…could it be?

Yep…it’s the greatest outfit ever conceived by Nintendo, in all of its hyper-neon, Tron-guy glory. Thanks for the memories, Animefest.

Expect more Cosplay goodness from ComicCon 2009 New York shortly.
