MCM brings its A game to Manchester!

A trio of top games publishers will be bringing their latest titles to Manchester Comic Con, as the pop culture show returns to Manchester Central on 21 July. 

The Nintendo Unleashed stand will be going XL for the upcoming release of the new 3DS XL console – the biggest ever screen on a Nintendo handheld. The publisher is bringing a vast array of titles to Manchester Comic Con so fans can see how their favourite games are even better in XL. 

Nintendo’s playable 3DS games will include the UK exclusive of Pokémon Conquest, as well as the amazing Kingdom Hearts: 3D Dream Drop Distance and New Super Mario Bros. 2. Visitors will also be able to get hands-on with new Wii title Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise.

Meanwhile, THQ will be previewing their much-anticipated action adventure Darksiders II. Not only will visitors be able to step into the boots of Death – the most feared of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse – as he battles to redeem his brother War, but the game’s principal designer Haydn Dalton and art director Han Randhawa are also set to host an on-stage panel.

And that’s not all; Namco Bandai will also be showcasing the latest in their acclaimed JRPG Tales of… series, Tales of Graces F. Set amidst the conflict of three kingdoms competing for planetary dominance, Tales of Graces F features a new combat system lets the player freely change attack style depending on the battle situation. The characters’ distinctive weapons can be swapped for different styles, and the combat system is now easier to control while simultaneously adding new levels of tactical depth.

Oh, and if you fancy showing off your dancing skills, we’ve also got a dedicated Dance Dance Revolution zone where you can trip the light fantastic with Konami’s ever-popular rhythm game!
