If you're into video games, visiting the Pennsylvania Convention Center now through Sunday will make you feel like a kid in a candy shop. Or, a kid in a video game shop.
It’s the fifth annual Video Game Expo.
(Sound of video game)
A couple of video game geeks got an early taste of the new "Mario" game at the expo. The show's founder is Narberth, Pa. native Ed Fleming:
"We’ve grown the show from a very small event to one of the largest gatherings of gamers in the United States. Last year we had about 24,000 people here. We're hoping to see even more next year."
And Nintendo itself one of the biggest exhibitors at the expo:
"This is the first time that they've come out to the east coast to do a gaming event. They are showing a half-dozen new games including New Super Mario Brothers (for the Wii)."
Mario himself had no comment. The gaming expo runs through Sunday.
