be Retro MIA

Retro MIAMade in Asia convention comes back in a smaller format, but with the same passion; it's Retro MIA! This convention will be held at Namur Expo on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th of September 2014. As usual, a free entrance evening will be organized on Friday 12 but in order to enter, you will have to "buy" a free ticket. As its name implies, this show is focused on cartoons of the '80s/'90s and on retrogaming. Akihiko Yamashita (Hauru no ugoku shiro, Gake no ue no Ponyo, The secret world of Arriety, From up on Poppy Hill, ...) and Miho Shimogasa (Cutie Honey Flash, Gravition, Ultra Maniac, Psychic Academy, Sailor Moon, ...) will be the guests of the show. There will be several concerts during the three days with on Friday, 2080, on Saturday, Duo Sweet 17, on Saturday and Sunday Neko Light Orchestra and Bernard Minet! As usual, the traditional solo and group cosplay tournaments will be held as well as many other activities (cooking, art, ...). Arcade Belgium will of course be there with the largest booth we have ever had at a convention until now with dedicaded cabinets in addition to our usual machines. We will organise a Gundam vs. Gundam Next 2vs2 tournament (with prizes offered by Bandai Namco Amusement Europe) on Saturday and a Capcom vs. SNK tournament on Sunday. Ticket price is €9 per day and €16 for the weekend (presale price). Attention, the number of available tickets is limited to 10000 a day! Please feel free to also pass on the stand of our friend Lyyniadaro.
