All Days in Plaza Ballroom A

Ever since the early 1900’s, video games have given us some of the greatest media to date. The story telling of Final Fantasy, masterpiece music from the Legend of Zelda, and visual design from The Shadow of the Colossus are all perfect example of why a video gaming room is needed at Pacific Media Expo! For 2014, the gaming room will have stations for the most popular competitive games such as Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Ultra Street Fighter 4 and Super Smash Bros. Melee as well as some of your favorite anime fighters like Under Night: In Birth or Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. If you're not the fighting type, we'll have some other fun attractions like a Just Dance station.

PMX will have a full array of panels featuring guest speakers, industry insiders, and fan evangelists. Come hear our guests and industry leaders talk about their past efforts and new projects. Find out when your favorite titles will be coming to the market and learn the inside story on how the industry works.
