Nintendo has a long history of bringing its games to its fans, and the company’s fan base includes a lot of celebrities, as evinced by this gallery from Comic-Con of actors playing some new and upcoming Wii U and 3DS titles.

The celebrity event took place at the Nintendo Oasis, a special area set up on a yacht sponsored by TV Guide Magazine. Games playable there included Pikmin 3, New Super Luigi U, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.

In case you’re unfamiliar with the actors pictured in the gallery, here’s a list of the actors in each photo and the TV shows they’re currently starring in:

  • Norman Reedus (left) and Scott Wilson, The Walking Dead
  • Kenan Thompson, Saturday Night Live
  • Ken Jeong (left) and Alison Brie, Community
  • Kevin Bacon, The Following
  • Ryan Kwanten, True Blood
  • Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
  • Dinklage again
  • Aaron Paul, Breaking Bad
