For those who have not yet been able to visit Retrocon 2026, this Sunday represents the last chance to take advantage of everything the fair has to offer. Recognized as one of the main events dedicated to retro gamer culture in Brazil, the fair brings together everything from old consoles to independent developers, hosts championships, and features a vast area focused on preserving video game history.
Diversity of Attractions at the Fair
In addition to classic games, the event's agenda also incorporates market novelties, experiences that promote inclusion, and hundreds of collectible items for those wishing to expand their collection.
Reliving Classics and Novelties
A central point of Retrocon is the section dedicated to historical video games. There, the public has the opportunity to play iconic titles from various generations on consoles such as Atari, Master System, Mega Drive, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PlayStation, Neo Geo, and others. This experience transcends simple nostalgia, as many pieces of equipment are part of collections maintained by enthusiasts, allowing for close contact with the evolution of video games.
The fair also dedicates space to the future of gaming. In the area reserved for independent creators, visitors can try out projects developed in Brazil, speak directly with producers, and discover titles still in development, which constitutes a valuable opportunity to follow the work of national studios and learn about new ideas.
Inclusion and Collecting
The AbleGamers Brasil space is another unmissable location, as the organization displays accessibility solutions designed for players with disabilities. They demonstrate how adjustments to peripherals, controllers, and settings enable a growing number of people to participate in games. In addition to practical demonstrations, the sector fosters discussions about technology and inclusion within the gaming industry.
For collectors, the vendor aisles are a big attraction, where dozens of specialized stores sell a variety of items, including games from various eras, classic consoles, controllers, accessories, old magazines, action figures, and other collectibles. It is common to find rare editions, imported cartridges, and restored video games.
Competitions and Gamer Culture
Football game enthusiasts also find their place guaranteed in the program, which features the traditional Football Cup. This competition gathers players in matches using various classic titles of the genre, attracting both competitors and spectators and recalling iconic franchises from the console era.
More broadly, the event offers exhibitions, panels, the presence of special guests, independent artists, and content creators, providing activities for all age groups. Even for those who do not intend to buy anything, Retrocon provides an immersion into video game history and a meeting point between different generations of players.
