Cosplayers are perpetual purveyors of entertainment. Die-hard fans never miss a chance to dress up, while some fans would rather die. Some do it so well that everyone becomes a fan, if only for a moment. Anyone grossly offended by the glory of cosplay should look away now (we're kidding, keep reading), as we present the new Guiness World Record for "Most Video Game Costumes in One Place."
It is estimated over 600 fans showed up to A-Kon 2008 dressed in video game attire, easily besting the previous "record" of 80 Marios. Characters from all walks of Nintendo life were found at A-Kon, and we've gathered a few of the best to check out after the break. Cosplay done right looks rad.

I'm looking at the picture showing the room full of people and all my eyes can focus on is the Link cosplayer with the large, stuffed head. Is it supposed to be Windwaker Link or what?

Wow.. most of the picks they picked as the "best" are lame.
That Travis Touchdown is nothing compared to the other one.
Anyhow, here i a Flickr account with over 400+ pictures from A-Kon 19. Lots of video game cosplay there. Also, a little red squid.

I cosplayed twice both for the Smash Bros Brawl launch. A mask that represents Meta Knight's whole body and I dressed my puppet up as Olimar complete with two Pikmin in a backpack!
