TOKYO GAME SHOW NOW TIME EXCITE!
Tuesday, September 13, 2011
There aren’t many things in the world that gets me to the point of socially unacceptable sweating and asthmatic panting, but Tokyo Game Show brings out my inner Hyde-esk Otaku (Otaku translated in Japanese as forever alone). As a terrible example of “normal” behavior and anime club president (2d love is FOREVER), TGS has been a personal mecca for ALL of my interests. Apart from riding a fully armored Pegacorn (its a pegasus and a unicorn combo FYI) into battle, my more other other dream has been to go to TGS and sip tea with the greats of gaming. Unfortunately, I don’t have the luxury, skill, or bust size to pull off a Catch Me If You Can style con, so I guess I’m stuck here writing this post with bated breath like a sickly child in front of a pet/cure store.
Continuing the tradition of moody spiky haired heroes since FF7
For anyone that isn’t familiar with Tokyo Game Show simply imagine this,E3 in Japan. The twist being, Japan as the spawning ground of most of the titans of the gaming industry. The expo is held in the Makuhari Messe (its a fancy sounding convention center) in Chiba. Created in 1996 the expo starts from September 16th – 18th and opens up to the public in the last two days of the convention, the first 2 days being press only. From Nintendo to Wizards of the Coast TGS includes not only the main stream gaming companies but also game studios and developers from all over Asia (Yes, Japan is not the only Asian country that makes games). Globalization and world community building is great and all but you know what we REALLY want, VIDEO GAME NEWS!
The greatest weapon you have in battle is to pose beautifully
There have already been loads of different tid-bits announced before the start of the expo. From the usual main hitters for TGS being Nintendo, Sony, and SquareEnix have lots of new information for games I’m sure your all very very excited to hear about. Zelda Skyward Sword, Final Fantasy 13- versus, Final Fantasy 13-2, and Demon Souls are predicted to be the main attractions of TGS. However, this TGS seems to be particularly special through, with their unveiling of a new bigger variety of 3Ds games/ports such as Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, Monster Hunter 4, Kid Icarus, Luigi’s Mansion 2 and Super Mario 3ds. So yah, start your salivating.
how does religion seem when angels have guns? AWESOME!
