New York Tecmo Super Bowl – Death by Field Goals @ Raven's Head Public House
Jun 20 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Hey All,

The next NY Tecmo meetup will be on Wednesday, June 20th at Raven’s Head Public House in Astoria, Queens. The meetup starts at 6 pm and lasts until whenever. We usually have a theme and this one will be Death by Field Goals. I’ll leave you guys to guess what that means!

We’re going to have a few consoles going and we’ll also have some non-Tecmo games like Baseball Stars and Super Mario 3 for anyone who wants a change of pace. Feel free to invite others along to come hang out and play some pick up and play games! 

If you are able to bring any equipment, it’s much appreciated. Also, stay tuned for some official Northeast Tecmo tournament announcements! 

Viva Tecmo!

Sep 21 @ 3:00 pm – 11:00 pm

September is here, and Indie games have taken the Nintendo Switch by storm! So why not dedicate this month’s event to Indies on Nintendo Switch, or as Nintendo likes to call them, “Nindies”?

Starting at 3PM on September 21st, we will be meeting up at Waypoint Cafe, as we celebrate nindies that are on the Nintendo Switch. We will have tons of select games for people to play:

– Pocket Rumble
– Wizard of Legend
– Runbow
– Enter the Gungeon
– Crawl
– Graceful Explosion Machine
– Jackbox Party Pack 1-4
– Use Your Words
– Overcooked 2
– Blade Strangers
– Light Fingers
– Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes
– Flat Heroes
– Human: Fall Flat

And Many More!

We will be rotating each game, so everyone would have a chance to try out different Nindie titles!

To get to Waypoint Cafe, take the D Train to Grand St. From there, it’s a five minute walk to Ludlow St. After you reach Ludlow, make a left turn, and it’s a very short walk. You could also take the F Train to Delancey St. From there, it’s a three minute walk to Ludlow.

Please be mindful, and respect other patrons at Waypoint Cafe, as well as the management. We also urge anyone attending the event not to bring outside food to the venue.

We hope that you are able to join us, as we look forward to having you with us!

Welcome to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate release party at the NYXL pop-up shop in Brooklyn! It’s an honor to work alongside an Overwatch League team to bring events like this to the Tristate Smash community. Let’s let them know exactly how awesome our scene is!

Come drop in any time after 2 pm on the day the game drops to get matches in on one of the 15+ consoles (or bring your own!) to start learning the new game alongside some of NYC’s best players–or just to have fun!

We’ll be giving away cool merch all day, especially to those who unlock characters on the systems ?

If you’re in or around the Brooklyn area, you’re definitely not gonna want to miss this one!
