Here it comes!

Check it! -----> http://game.newyork-tokyo.com

So, last month was a huge success and we certainly have quite a few CAGers to thank for that. This month's GNG is coming up on the 26th with our pre-release feature, Spy Fiction. Exclusively just for CAGers we've got a contest to win a free copy of Spy Fiction for yourself. To enter, simply post back on this very forum. One post/entry per person. Winner will be drawn at random and shipped free of charge if winner can not attend the event to pick it up. See violet text for further rules.

Also, exclusively just for CAG T-Shirt bearing attendees, the first ten to come out will get a free gift from Nippon Ichi and GNG.

I can say straight out, that this event will no doubt be in a much smaller space than last month, but the 42nd St location and the spirits for gamers 21 and up should make up for it. All ages welcome to attend though, but of course, 21 to drink.

Party is from 8PM-12AM at The Tank-> 432 W.42nd St., NYC (btw. 9th & 10th Ave.)

That's about it guys! See you all there!

* Update *
Also, just confirmed, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes will be in playable form at this month's GNG replacing PSO.


Eligibilty to post and win will end on 8/26 after my post of such notification. All usernames who have posted will be thrown (probably literally) into a hat on paper and will be drawn by a witness CAGer at the event. If the winner is not in attendance, Spy Fiction will be shipped to you as a courtesy of GNG. Forum will remain open after contests end to discuss the event. Cool? Cool.


The winner of Spy Fiction courtesy of Gamers Nite Groove and Sammy Studios is....

[Ericnmel99]

Sounds cool....i'll try to come.

[Kain Vincent]

Sounds cool. Well, I hope you guys enjoy it. I don't got the time (Even if I did, I would have to travel to NY for one night, which for one night isn't worth it). I have yet to see an event of this type in Philadelphia. Once again, enjoy it.

[rpgpeng]

dang, still in buffalo... won't make it down until end of sept. Hope there are other events next time. ENJOY!

[cag1000]

im in jersey one of these months im gonna have to come

[jimbodan]

Hell, I'll post here for a chance to win a game for free.

[Ledhed]

It's a shame this type of thing never gets arranged in my area, because I know it would be a huge success.

C'mon Spy Fiction... Spy Fiction... no whammy, no whammy... STOP!

[prisonerac]

Unfortunately I live on the other side of country so posting is all I can do.

[scdoanintendo]

Definitely got my post, I just wish I could go. NY gets all the gaming love.

[big_squirtle]

I missed last month, but I will be there rain or shine.

[BigDirty]

I'm gonna try to make it out again this month, and maybe bring the same crew again.

[dragon_image18]

Oh well. Wrong coast.

[daikaiju]

As fun as it would probably be to attend something like this, a full days travel just isn't in the cards for me right now. :(

[alongx]

wow, i might actually be able to make that.

[chunk]

There should be more (and more interesting games). What happened to Rez?

[jmon22]

Wish I was closer so I could show.

[AnthonyRoundtree]

There should be more (and more interesting games). What happened to Rez?

Rez, a GNG favorite, will have to sit on the B-list this month, but it just might make its way to the floor this month anyway.

We'll be no shorter on crazy visuals and insane electronic music though, check out Bubblyfish with her 8-bit beats and the new video stuff from Honeygun Labs.

[Wlogan31]

Hell, I'll post here for a chance to win a game for free.

I'll do the same as I wish for more gamers in my area of KY :)

[Link127]

hope everyone that can go has fun, wish I could go.

man, they gotta start having those where I live!

[Dead of Knight]

I wish I could come to check out Phantom Brave. :cry:

[MeGaWC27]

hmm hope I can make it to this GNG.

[AnthonyRoundtree]

Just one update for ultra hardcore commuters, GNG at The Tank is actually just 1 and a half blocks from the Port Authority Bus Terminal. So if you're really set on coming in, just know that the spot is very bus friendly.

We had people from Connecticut and Boston before, so I thought I'd mention its bus-abilty.

[BigHow]

ooh, gifts from Nippon Ichi... I like the sound of that.

Might have to drop by if the drinks are reasonably priced. :D

[AnthonyRoundtree]

Drinks will be served by The Tank. Prices will be as reasonable as you wish to pay for them. :wink:

[MorbidAngel4Life]

Sounds pretty cool, but im moving in a couple of days/weks, so i dont think ill have the time to go, so im just gonna post on here.

[JoJo112]

I went last month and I had a great time, so you can expect to see me there this month...no doubt about it

[Matrix2k3]

Sounds cool. If i lived closer to NYC i would come.

[datruth29]

Last months was a blast! I'm definitely coming to this one. Can't wait to try out Spy Fiction.

[FriskyTanuki]

Too bad I'll be living in AZ by then, but here's to winning a free game.

[AnthonyRoundtree]

Last months was a blast! I'm definitely coming to this one. Can't wait to try out Spy Fiction.

:D Thanks for coming out last time... remember.. new place.. much much smaller, but no less games. Bring your friends!

[Dr Mario Kart]

so...this means that CAG has some sort of relationship with NIS?

[AnthonyRoundtree]

so...this means that CAG has some sort of relationship with NIS?

This means that Mr. GNG (me) and Mr. CAG (CheapyD) are on good terms.

Mr. GNG has a relationship with NIS America, and wishes to extend a free NIS gift to CAG Shirt bearing attendees of GNG.

Everyone is then happy. :D

[SneakyPenguin]

My dad's on vacation, so I may avctually be able to go this month. If I do, I'll be sure to wear my CAG shirt.

[fireball343]

i wish i could go, i live in texas and even missed quakecon.

[Howeraing]

I would go, if I lived closer.

[zewone]

Damn. I wish I could go, but sadly I live in CA. So I will post here for a chance to win a free game. Have fun.

[ryosnk]

They should have one in the midwest, cause I would be all over that 8) .

[Final Starman]

Sweet.

[e1337gamer]

Wish I could attend but yea, wrong coast...

[damnbroke]

I'll do everything in my power to get there. It sounds like a lot of fun.

[MGoBlue]

Posting for a chance to win the game. Sounds cool but it's a long trip from Florida.

[KingDox]

you really need to start hosting these things on the west coast.

[Orga]

Posting for free game

[swetooth9]

damn. i cant go...but i'm still postin here to try to win the game ;)

[AnthonyRoundtree]

you really need to start hosting these things on the west coast.

sounds fair, considering the west coast gets E3..... :wink:

just kidding.

anyway man, yeah i'm sorry... personally i think all gaming events should be in like... Kansas. That way eveyone on both coasts will have to travel just as far, and the people already there can marvel at the fact that something is actually, well, in Kansas for once.

sounds fair... but... NYC will have to do for now.

You are, however, now eligible to win Spy Fiction just for your post.
I hope that will have to do for now. :)

[mkelehan]

Well, I'll go ahead and reply for the chance at the game.

If there was one of these in the Baltimore/DC area, I'd definitely go.

[drone8888]

Sounds awesome.

I missed the Nintendo tour, and now I'll miss this one.

I can't wait for Phantom Brave, but a free NI promo item,... now that's sweet.

Thanks for the opportunity.
:)

[AnthonyRoundtree]

Also, just confirmed, Metroid Prime 2 Echoes will be in playable form at this month's GNG.

Will add to roster on site very soon.

[SneakyPenguin]

Ok, I am now going to force my dad to take me. he already said probably, but now I'm gonna make him

[dafoomie]

I'd make the trip down from Boston but I have to work that night.

Think you guys could do these things on Friday or Saturday nights? Its tough to travel after work Thursday and show up for work Friday, and it would be nice to make a weekend out of it.

Thursday is probably cheaper though.

[AnthonyRoundtree]

Think you guys could do these things on Friday or Saturday nights?

We're working on it... and if you seek so make a weekend out of it... check this

----> http://www.igamesexpo.com

we'll be doing something there all weekend, but i can not yet discuss which games will be featured... expect the first details to be reavealed at this thursday's event.

[CheapyD]

Does that mean we get to meet Mr. SneakyPenguin?

Probably, and I'm sure he'll be thrilled. But he has recently gotten back into gaming (thak you Civilization III).

[punktank45]

I wouldn't be a cheapass If I didn't post in this topic.

[punqsux]

FREE GAME IS MIIINE!!!!!

[Jaket]

i wish i could get out to one of these things!

[AnthonyRoundtree]

i wish i could get out to one of these things!

as do i.
i wish all CAGers could come.
we could even have a big giant BB, CC, TRU Cheap Ass Swap Meet.....
Now there's an idea....

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

i never win.....

[Ebraum]

Please report back on Metroid. Wish I could be there.

[rabbitt]

I live about 6 hours from New York, but one day, I'll try to make it to a GNG. I'm getting my temps in about a week, one more step closer to being there! Well, I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as you did the last.

rabbitt

[AnthonyRoundtree]

Please report back on Metroid.

Should be similar or even the same as the demo on the bonus disc in the bundle. I have no idea what is being sent to us.... but that should be what to expect.

But hey... its still freakin Metroid. Still freakin amazing.

[SneakyPenguin]

Looks like I'll be making it down. My dad pretty much said yes, though he thinks it's a bad neighborhood.

Is there going to be a set CAG meeting place this time? Probably be a good idea so all us CAGs can meet easily.

[suga]

Definitely gonna be there! :D

[ViPeR]

I wanna win free stuff, gimme gimme
O yea count me in also I'll be there

[AnthonyRoundtree]

[AnthonyRoundtree]

you made it out last time?
thanks for coming!

man... i keep wanting to warn everyone who made it out last month.... i mean... this is a new place just for this month.... VERY VERY tiny in comparison to Eyebeam.

In fact... its kind of an art house-bar.... so... please keep an open mind.
size doesnt matter... right? heh heh.... heh.

regardless... all the games will be there... and we'll be back and even bigger on Sept 10th under the Hammerstein Ballroom.

so... come chill this week... and get ready for something bigger in 2 more weeks. :D

[Jaket]

SWEET! im there september 10th! my dad jusst said he would drive me down! 8 hour drive all for this! any idea what will be featured?! im really excited!

[AnthonyRoundtree]

SWEET! im there september 10th! my dad jusst said he would drive me down! 8 hour drive all for this! any idea what will be featured?! im really excited!

i can not yet divulge what will be the GNG contents... BUT it will be only a part of the iGames Expo

-----> http://www.igamesexpo.com

We'll be in the underground level of all of THAT.
so.... come on out... and have fun with it.

we're working on the pricing situation for that one though... we typically do this for free... but the expo has a charge. so we may likely have a discount (huge) for anyone with our ad. That will then get you into our event and the rest of the expo.... but.... look for more on that soon!

[Jaket]

THAT WEEKEND WILL BE SWEET! hey joystickz do you have aim or YIM... i want to ask you some questions :D

[SneakyPenguin]

Oooo, I will definatelty try to make it to the september 10th expo. It being on a Friday helps a lot.

[Mr. Anderson]

Texas is a bit far to go for one night, but I wish I could. Sorry guys.

[AnthonyRoundtree]

Texas is a bit far to go for one night, but I wish I could. Sorry guys.

excuses, excuses.... :wink:

[jbroush99]

Living in the Midwest sucks!
Free games rule!

[adamsappel]

Man, these sound like fun! One more reason I wish I lived in NYC.

[sterlingice]

you really need to start hosting these things on the west coast.

I hope that will have to do for now. :)

I agree, especially since I live in Kansas :)

By that token, while I won't be able to make it, I'd love to get in on the contest.

SI

[x0thedeadzone0x]

. . .

[Wombat]

I will be there on thurs, weaing my CAG t-shirt with pride, maybe I'll even clean it for the event, ok probably not, but I'll be there

[AnthonyRoundtree]

:D

[wubb]

I'd check it out if I lived near NYC! :)

[maxgle]

er.r.. NYC, why are you so far away

[6669]

I wish these kinda things would happen where I live.

[Duo_Maxwell]

Why does all the cool stuff happen like 1000 miles away, I very mch wanted to check out Spy Fiction and Phantom Brave. Anyhow, these GNG events sound awesome, and I think it should be done in more cities around the country (If it ever comes to the midwest region I'm there).

[YOUR BASE]

I can't make it, so the best thing I could do is enter.

[Murcielago77]

^me too

[Doylerulez]

I wish these kinda things would happen where I live.
Stupid Hell.

post in topic: check

[Ericnmel99]

Yo, that IGames Expo sounds cool...I'll definatly check it out if you keep us informed....especially if you can get us a discount.

[Arakias]

Dont think I can make it into NYC that night, but sign me up for the contest!

[AlbinoNinja]

Although i do live in Jersey, getting a ride would be a little tricky, so I'll just enter for Spy Fiction.

[snotknocker]

I'll be there with my CAG shirt on. I'll be one of the first 10. I want free stuff.

[ragtop70]

I'm in Indiana, but Spy Fiction looks awesome.

[Chris Dillon]

I may drive over from where i live but thats on where close to you so it may take a while for me to get there.

Post=Check

[thorbahn3]

I would go there if I could. You guys should travel across America.

[ukhoops]

I like stealth games, but I like free stealth games even better :)

[rebthor]

Didn't think I was able to make it, but then I remembered that I will be downtown that night anyway, so the wife will have less to complain about!
Sweet, I will be there with bells on (since I don't have a CAG t-shirt.)

[hustla911]

I'll be there.

[yeahokthenfu]

Sounds cool but im on the west coast

[flizmo007]

West coast here as well. Oh well, at least I will win a game for posting.

[BABETOOTH]

I work late that night but put me down for the free game!!! I`ll see if I can sneak out for a while...

[ChubbyRain5104]

I missed the last event, so hopefully this time i'll finally be able to catch it. Look foward to it guys =)

[AnthonyRoundtree]

:D

Congrats on the first post!
See you there!

[MeGaWC27]

crud, cant make it...

[deathcabforcutie]

sign me up! :-)

[PsyClerk]

I'd like to see Phantom Brave myself. Damn you state of NC!

[JohnnyDrama]

I wish I could go, but I live across the country.

[sexdrugsandrocknroll]

so when exactly is phantom brave comming out?

[Rich]

I'm hoping to get these this month.

[PenguinoMF]

posting to enter the contest

[ViPeR]

Only 2 more days till the event woohoo \:D/

BTW how will we be notified if we win a copy of the game?

[Trakan]

Damnit, I live nowhere near NY, and none of these things ever come to WI....

[hustla911]

joystickz are they going to have beverages........you probably dont recognize my name but me and my cousin met u at the room where rez was displayed.....

[ViPeR]

More Red Bull... Can't sleep, can't sleep, can't sleep :bouncy:

[bezelbubba]

I'll bring the women! :D

[AnthonyRoundtree]

joystickz are they going to have beverages....

Red Bull should show up like ninjas again. never any announcements.... i'm not even supposed to say they'll be there.... they just show up.

its weird.

for the over 21 crowd... the Tank will be unofficially serving alcohol per reasonable donation.

i didnt say that either though... :wink:

all ages still welcome.

[jngx80]

Might as well post for a chance to win.

How do people find out about these events in the first place?

[AnthonyRoundtree]

How do people find out about these events in the first place?

Street ads in NYC
Commercials on FCI
coverage in magazines and online
word of mouth
MOST importantly... Message boards. Especially this one. :D

[Pure Apathy]

I won't be able to make the event, but maybe I can win the game instead :)

[The Successful Dropout]

Count me in.

[FunkSoulBrother]

I'm in Brooklyn, NY, but I'm not sure if I can make it, although it sounds like a lot of fun. Also, I don't have a CAG T-Shirt :D (maybe I should look into getting one...). Anyway, there's always the contest for a free copy of Spy Fiction, so it won't go completely to waste.

[CaseyRyback]

I'd like to see Phantom Brave myself. Damn you state of NC!

Don't you live in the western part of the state?

At least Club Nintendo comes to Charlotte. In raleigh we have three leading developers(new America's Army studio, Res Storm and Epic Games) and the only thing I have ever remotely heard of was they were going to allow people to play SC:PT two months before release. I did not even go because it snowed that weekend.

Also when I went to Wilmington, the Gamespot bus would stop at ECU which pissed me off since it never came to Raleigh or UNCW.

The only benefit of living in Raleigh is sometimes Epic has a class over at State. I need to get better at me computer skills so I can take that class.

[droptopmetro]

Wanna win the game and don't know what to say so I'll just post smileys.
:rofl: :D :) :( :o :lol: 8) :? :shock: :x :P :oops: :cry: :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink:

[punqsux]

i dont see why all of you keep posting for the free game, its clearly mine, i called it ^^

[guardian_owl]

Well I never seem to win anything, but I'll give it a shot, and I've been dying to work in this emoticon, so here it is for no reason :-({|=

[hustla911]

The only way I wouldnt show up to this GNG, if there was a fridge landing on my head but other then that i will come.....lol :fridge:

[doraemonkerpal]

they should have a GNG in socal! :(

ah well, at least i can still post and hopefully win a free game :)

[Ribkage]

*enters into contest*

Wish I could attend the event also.

[AnthonyRoundtree]

The only way I wouldnt show up to this GNG, if there was a fridge landing on my head but other then that i will come.....lol :fridge:

making me so happy...
can't wait to see you all there!
:D

[Storamin]

I want to win this game!

[AnthonyRoundtree]

i want to win a bmw

[Rei no Otaku]

That sounds like so much fun^_^ I'm going to try and make it. I also hope I win the game.

[MegaMan3k]

Oh man, I wish I could go. =( It's too far of a drive for me *Virginia*.

Oh well, maybe I'll win Spy Fiction anyway. ^_^

[AnthonyRoundtree]

I'm gonna close the contest just around midnight tonight.

Got a lot of work tommorow... so i'll gather a list of posted names tonight....

looks like an hour and a half to get in on this...

good luck! eligibility ends at my post notification. see you in 90 minutes.

[SneakyPenguin]

Just wondering, has a set CAG meeting place been decided upon? I remember reading that last time it was hit or miss meeting each other, and a specific meet up was to be planned this time.

[tcwong]

Too bad I cannot go, but i like the game, too

[AnthonyRoundtree]

CONTEST HAS JUST ENDED.

will rally up usernames and draw a winner at the event.

see you all there!

:D

[AnthonyRoundtree]

OK... You've all been rounded up and put onto cards...
winner will be pulled tommorow... and notified very soon after the event. if you arent there... which you mathematically likely arent to be... i'll ship it to you... simple as that.

thats you all for posting!
please keep using this board to discuss the event.

[SneakyPenguin]

Yea, still wondering on this^^

[datruth29]

Good news people. It doesnt look like theres going to be a large quantity of water dropping on our heads this time (anybody who came to the last one know what im talking about). Cant wait to come and play Metroid. :D

[punqsux]

CONTEST HAS JUST ENDED.

http://img69.exs.cx/img69/5012/Yo.th.jpg (http://img69.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img69&image=Yo1.jpg)

I may or may not be wearing a Soviet fur cap, but I will have aCAG shirt.

[snotknocker]

I'll have my CAG shirt on and blue yankee hat. Don't be shy. I might look like I want to bodyslam someone, but I don't.

[punqsux]

so what was the moment like when they announced me as the winner of spy fiction?

[Jaket]

LMAO how was it guys!?

[ex0]

Wonder who won.

[hustla911]

It was fun, i had a great time......just hope that the next one will be better and the place bigger.

[AnthonyRoundtree]

It's 3 a.m.

I'm very tired...but to all who came out... It was a pleasue to see you all again... and some of you for the first time as well.

Anyway... a tall kimonoed gentleman with a glowing aura of savings made his way to the event... and had the pleasure of choosing the name randomly out of a deck of cards.

The winner of Spy Fiction courtesy of Gamers Nite Groove and Sammy Studios is....

SterlingIce

Thanks to all who entered!! But only one has won.

Note SterlingIce - PM me your address information and it will be shipped out very soon.

That's all she wrote! I'm going to bed. Will return at 5pm when i wake up.

Later all!

[Ericnmel99]

You gunna put up pics of the event?

[BigDirty]

How was the event last night, Dirty was home sick and couldn't make it out, I'm upset that I missed the shin-diggity, but there always is next month.

[CheapyD]

It was great to meet Sneaky Penguin and Mr. Penguin, and too see Joystix, studio and all the other gamers.
I'm looking forward to September's event.
I am predicting a strong CAG presence for that event.

[SneakyPenguin]

Woo, just got home. It was a pretty nice event. Fun to finally meet some other CAGs, and a pretty fun event. You can count me in for next month.

[Chris Dillon]

hmmm. Im guessing its over. So wheres the winner. I know its not me but it would be cool to know i was right for once. Sorry but i cant wait to be right

[JoJo112]

sorry i havent posted earlier, ive been a bit preoccupied...the event was great a little packed and sardine-like at first but after 10:30 the place got pretty empty and all games were available...The music was great too..you couldnt help but tap yout toe and bob your head..although i was a bit confused with the whole exploding miniature hot balloon video....also after playing Spy Fiction im not even the slightest peeved that i didnt win a copy because I wouldve probably sold it....ASTRO BOY FOR GBA RULED ALL!!!! although I cant wait for the release of Prime 2..Joystickz I guess ill see u next month
