Video Game Room
The Animazement video game room would not be possible without Wedoca, the amazing group of gamers that run it! Our casual-play video game room has multiple units of all the major consoles, featuring popular domestic and import titles. 2D/3D fighters, music/rhythm, shooters (shmups) and puzzle games comprise most of the line-up, with games being swapped out periodically based on requests.
Retro gaming is represented, with Atari 2600, Nintendo Entertainment System, Genesis, TurboGrafx-16… among others! Our extra-large video game room in the Raleigh Convention Center allows Wedoca to run a huge number of monitors, projection screens and arcade cabinets. Features include 10-player Saturn Bomberman on the projector all weekend long, and 6-player Guardian Heroes and Radiant Silvergun tossed in for color.
Wedoca brings many rare, import arcade shooters from Cave, Raizing, Seibu Kaihatsu, Treasure and Capcom. All are properly setup on tate/vertical Japanese candy cabs. Your favorite 2D fighters from Capcom and SNK Playmore are showcased on head-to-head style cabinets, no quarters needed!
Video Screening
Enjoy the finest classic anime titles, the new hotness, as well as live-action favorites on the big screen. Titles include both subtitled and dubbed versions, and come from various companies. All titles shown are from legal, US-released DVDs, with the appropriate permissions for public viewing. No matter what, there are no fansubs in the video rooms. None.
