You may not even be aware, but there's a gaming convention right smack dab in the middle of Richmond Hill. Sort of.
Video Game Day is a fundraiser put on by OutBreak Youth Ministries and (local gaming site) DualShockers.com and hosted by Elohim Christian Church. The event collects money that 'will be put completely toward bringing a positive influence to the urban youth in the community' and features gaming tournaments showcasing Call of Duty, Halo Reach, and Marvel vs Capcom 3- among others.

Nintendo World Tour

World of Nintendo Tour Brings Top Games and Systems Directly to Consumers
As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season draws near, Nintendo is making it easier for consumers to sample and experience some of the year’s most talked-about games and game systems. This past weekend, Oct. 2-4, the new World of Nintendo sampling tour kicked off with an appearance at the annual Long Beach Comic Con in Long Beach, Calif., treating attendees to a firsthand look at a variety of recent and forthcoming games for the Wii™, Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems.
Less than a week after consumers discovered a new suggested retail price of $199.99 for Wii, World of Nintendo participants in Long Beach gathered for hands-on demonstrations of games like Wii Sports Resort™, Wii Fit™ Plus and Punch-Out!! ™, as well as the upcoming New Super Mario Bros. ™ Wii. The event also highlighted new hand-held games such as Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box™ and the highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda™: Spirit Tracks, both playable on Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems. World of Nintendo visitors also enjoyed a glimpse into a selection of downloadable game titles on the WiiWare™ and Nintendo DSiWare™ services.
Upcoming World of Nintendo tour stops include America’s VideoGame Expo in Philadelphia (Oct. 9-11) and the Big Apple Comic Con in New York City (Oct. 16-18). Like this year’s traveling Nintendo DSi Mobile Tour and Wii Sports Resort Mobile Tour, World of Nintendo reflects Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to actively expanding the audience for video games, attracting new and veteran players with a lineup of inclusive game titles, innovative motion controls and console features that allow players to stay connected with family and friends.

Sounds pretty cool. Nintendo has been really great with these tours and showcases lately and of course it's always nice to get a little love here in the big apple. In case you missed it:

Thank heaven for the BACC since the NYCC won't be around at all this year. It'll return next October.
