Nintendo's Comic-Con Lineup

At this year's Comic-Con, the general public gets an opportunity to go hands on with Nintendo's upcoming handheld, the 3DS XL, a new version of the Nintendo 3DS system with 90 percent larger screens, which won't arrive in stores until this August.

In addition to Nintendo's booth at the show (#5135), multiple activities will take place at a special Nintendo Gaming Lounge in the San Diego Ballroom at the Marriott Marquis & Marina, right by the San Diego Convention Center. No worries if you're badgeless, it won't be needed to gain entry to the Gaming Lounge.

Games that are scheduled to be playable at the Nintendo Gaming Lounge include:

* New Super Mario Bros. 2
* Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
* Kid Icarus: Uprising
* Mario Kart 7
* Super Mario 3D Land
* Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate
* Heroes of Ruin
* Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]
* LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
* Pokémon Conquest
