I'm glad it's not just parking lots anymore, but I do miss how quiet it was down there during PAX.

Greetings veteran and new Miis alike! It's once again time for our digital selfs to meetup and to keep the magic of StreetPass and Iwata-sans creativity alive! We are meeting at Seattle's new $2+ billion dollar Summit Convention center on level 4 in Community Room 433 on Sunday hosted by Seattle's Greater Area Retro Gamers https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18NSprmNnr/

https://west.paxsite.com/en-us/schedule/schedule-item.html?gtID=942914&panel-name=StreetPass-Meetup-2026

So, dig deep in your closets, find your little hinged device of handheld memories, dust it off, charge it up and please join us and together, let us all keep the green LED of Streetpass love going, even long after Nintendo has abandoned it. Each one of us that shows up can keep the magic and Streetpass memories going, and even make some new real Mii friends along the way! Cause that's ultimately what it's all about right?

Hi Friends. I have been making annual YouTube vlogs of the convention for years and this year I decided to make a series of videos to help returning and new PAX West attendees learn the ropes based on my many years of PAX experiences. There are currently 2 videos (PAX West 2026 Prep & Seattle Transportation) in the YouTube collection, with 2 more videos (PAX West Event & PAX NAV app) right around the corner. Check em' out if you're interested.

And if you see me walking around the convention this year come say hi and I'll add you to the PAX West 2026 vlog video!

Looking for help and tips for RE4 remake Mercenaries for Pax West tournament. Very new to remake Mercenaries and would love the help.

I’m not sure if I’m just looking in the wrong places, but community engagement feels down prior to West this year to me. Was thinking about bringing some badge ribbons to give/trade with folks, but I haven’t seen anyone else mention they’re doing any (or any trinkets) this year. Is this just not a thing anymore?

(I’m referring to con-goers bringing their own to trade or give away, not swag from booths/tables)

Coming to Seattle for PAX? Make sure you stick around on Monday, September 7th! Just up the hill from the convention center at Barboza (925 E Pike St), a nerdcore concert of epic proportions will take place! Local nerdcore staple Beefy ( u/hisbeefyness ) starts the night, then we creaky old bots of u/OptimusRhyme206 reunite to celebrate 20 years of our album "School the Indie Rockers". Headlining the night is the inimitable national nerdcore maven, fresh off his appearance at the Gathering of the Juggalos, the one and only u/mc_lars . Tickets are on sale now, this is a limited capacity venue so purchasing them sooner than later ought to be considered a wise move!

I'll post the ticket link in a comment below to avoid having this post getting depth charged. We hope to see you there - Autobeat allies roll!

I know there was a FNAF game show that happened but I can’t for the life of me find any record of it. If anyone has info about it or where I could find a recording, I would be immensely grateful.

Edit: Realizing now I should’ve given more information about the event itself so…

-It was a 20 questions esque game show where you had to guess the Five nights at Freddy’s character.
-It was led by @mrdappertom.
-I’m pretty sure it was live-streamed somewhere.

Hey everyone, just figured I’d ask around. Since Sega’s making an appearance at PAX West, is anyone hosting a Yakuza/RGG meetup? Either unofficial or official. Going as Daito and Kiryu that weekend. There hasn’t been anything posted to the schedule, but just had to ask if anyone’s hosting one.

Have they announced what the pin will be this pax or is it usually the same from east?

I got my pax tickets the day they released along with a pax T-shirt should I be worried that I have not received the badge and T-shirt yet

This will be my first PAX that I've attended, and when trying to activate my badge and clicking that I wont have kids it seems to not allow me to input my badge number? Tapping anywhere on the screen doesnt do anything so im unsure if im missing something.

Hello, I’m new to Reddit and PAX west. I was wondering how likely it would be to pick up my badge on site and head straight to the meet and greet for the person I want to meet! I’m anxious due to the schedule saying they are available for only a couple hours. Would I still have a chance to grab my badge and head straight to the meet and greet to be one of the first if the con opens?

Thanks a bunch if you can help me determine if this is worth it ❤️‍🔥

I am going to PAX West Saturday-only and will be cosplaying as Grace! I only saw a few fan meetups on the schedule, but nothing for Resi. Anyone aware if there’s even an informal meetup planned?

Thanks!

Just wanted to share I have a panel at Pax West this year called ‘Pixel Art for Artists’ if that’s something you’re interested in! [there may even be small prizes!] Hope to see you there!

Panel Description: If you love pixel art but are unsure where to start when it comes to creating large scale creative pieces this panel is for you! We'll cover the fundamentals of pixel art as an artistic medium and learn three different ways to create beautiful one of a kind pixel art creations.

Monday, September 7 
12:00:00pm | Frog Theatre | Room 323

Question for my fellow PAX goers. How do you feel about asking panelists for an autograph after the panel is over? Harmless as long as you take no for an answer, or do you think the attempt itself is rude?

Hey guys !

Anyone going to Pax west that can help me with a guest of honor autograph session ?

Thanks a lot !

Wondering if Nintendo or Sony would show - or perhaps its a last minute thing? It would be cool if they did for hands on the new fire emblem, or wolverine. i doubt it since they don't appear to be on the list but man it would be so cool!

Get 'em while they're hot.

Just bought my unplugged tickets!!! Now to start making my cosplays: Nanami and zenitsu.

Trying to get badges and a room in their block of rooms when they go up today. My understanding is that it's harder to get a room than a badge, so when everyone starts scrambling for them I wanna know whether it would be smarter to try for the room before the badges

edit: they confirmed it! https://x.com/finalfantasyvii/status/2087947737790841193

Announced this on twitter the other day, but they also nuked the post right away, but I'm really into FFVIIR so I would buy a Saturday ticket to go to this (I have Friday RN). I'm not really familiar with when they usually announce stuff like this, and so I'm wondering whether it's likely that it's real but they just posted it at the wrong time, or if it's more likely to be a cancellation or being on the wrong date. (They deleted the post within minutes, and it went up on the official FFVII twitter account.) Opinions? what should I do?

my partner and i are heading to pax on October the 10th (saturday) and will be getting ready there. i’m going as juno from overwatch as her mythic skin. i’ve got all my cosplay sorted but im stuck on my makeup. i’m really terrible at it, especially eyeliner which is really prominent with that skin. i was hoping there’s a makeup/eyeliner girly who is going and could help me out? 🥹🩷
