<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/31/yet-more-cosplay/">Cosplayers</a> are perpetual purveyors of entertainment. Die-hard fans never miss a chance to dress up, while some fans would rather die. Some do it <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/04/female-duo-sets-the-standard-for-link-cosplay/">so well</a> 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."<br /><br />It is estimated over 600 fans showed up to <a href="http://a-kon.com/">A-Kon 2008</a> 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. <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/31/twilight-princess-cosplay-leaves-us-agog/">Cosplay done right</a> looks rad.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/03/send-in-the-cosplayers/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Send in the cosplayers</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/03/send-in-the-cosplayers/">Send in the cosplayers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 03 Jun 2008 21:00:00 EST.
