Midna, Rosalina expertly cosplayed by Nintendo convert

by JC Fletcher on Jul 7th 2008 5:00PM

Did you know that some people really like Nintendo games? It's true! Some people express their fandom by writing about Target Terror price drops, while others choose to imitate game characters at anime festivals. The Tanooki interviewed one such cosplayer, Andrea Zampella, and found that her Nintendo devotion is a new development!

As it turns out, she grew up Segaist. It wasn't until Sonic the Hedgehog games began to show up on the GameCube that Andrea began to appreciate Nintendo consoles. Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games was the catalyst for her complete conversion, marking the end of the Sonic/Mario rivalry. "Plus," she said, "Super Mario Galaxy was the bomb, and so was Rosalina!"

Check after the break for a picture of Andrea as Rosalina. More images of both the Rosalina and Midna costumes can be found at The Tanooki, along with the full interview.

I think *you're* past that. You != everyone.

I'm a sucker for costumes. Thank god for my gamer wife =)

creepy

Those are very good cosplays. She actually fits the role unlike a lot of other cosplayers out there.

I take my hat of to these woman for there skill and devotion for cosplaying as there favorite character, Splam my friend someone needs to remove that broom stick from your ass.

i was praying i wasn't alone on this one. thank you guys.

CJLopez, you freakin slay me.

that actually was pretty funny.

Impressive cosplay without a doubt.

Breaking the mold?

It took that long? Years and years of unappreciated gamers trying to make others see games the same way they have since the early 90s and it only took NOW for someone to take notice?

Damn. That's a long time.

She's AWESOME.

It's rare that you see GREAT COS-PLAYERS (other than heavy searching on the internet).
I always appreciate that kind of thing.

Odd that this gets posted. My friend took pictures of her dressed up as Rosalina for Jacon and he won "Most Aesthetic" in their photo contest for her picture.

Excellence. Now, if we can make her a FINAL FANTASY (CAPS not for emphasis...) convert (among other things I like, such as WarioWare, Golden Sun, Xeno...), then I'd be a bit closer to absolute completion.
