"Nintendo has a long history of engaging with and making content for children of all ages and we would like to continue that proud tradition. We also would like to use this opportunity to teach parents the educational value of video game software and inform them about the ESRB Rating System so they can shop for appropriate video game software more efficiently."

"Kids Comic Con’s primary goal is to promote reading, creativity, and exploration in kids’ lives,” Alex Simmons, Kids Comic Con Creator and Founder, added. “Now more than ever it is imperative that young people embrace a continuous flow of positive ideas, skills, and outlets for their thinking as well as self-esteem. This year we've found even more people who share these ideas and goals so come share the day and the magic.”

Two years ago the Gameboy Advance launched and has taken the United States by storm, debuting on June 11th at the Pokemon Center in New York City.

The Nintendo New York Link Cable is a subset of the much larger, global-wide grassroots Nintendo Link Cable network of meetings popping up all over the globe from America to Japan and South Africa. Their goal is for fans of the Gameboy Advance system to interact face to face in a groovy public venue and to promote a totally boss public image of Nintendo Fans in the New York Metro Area along with the official Nintendo Street Team.

Jordan Grey, Founder of the Nintendo New York Link Cable, is excited for the group's first meet up TODAY, Monday April 1st where a legion of fans will descend upon Video Games New York (202 E 6th Street, New York, New York 10003) to trade Pokemon in the recently released Ruby and Sapphire game for the GBA as well as play multiplayer games and talk about upcoming GBA and Gamecube news.

"While off to a slow start I expect huge things from this totally hardcore system and I also cant wait to talk about this rumored Gameboy Advance 2 everyone is talking about. Supposedly it squirts water at you and also has two screens! Rumors are crazy I tell you, how can anyone play with TWO screens?"
