(As usual, you can follow my trip’s progress on my blog ➡️
My first stop is a little visit to the Tokyo Game Show! As a video game person, I had to be there again this year knowing that some of my favorite games are going to be showcased there! Basically, this is Japan’s E3 and the place to be for gamers, and let me tell you, our Japanese friends are real fans of games!
Once again, TGS takes place at Makuhari Messe in Chiba this year. Public days are from Saturday to Sunday. I went to both days because I had a lot of things to see!
To get there from Tokyo, we need to take 2 trains. The trains are always on time! We stop at Kaihimmakuhari station and make our way to the convention center. When we enter the site, there is already a bunch of activities and stuff to see! The entry to the show itself is very clear thanks to the staff members. I’ve arrived early and there were already a lot of people!
Once inside, I’ve headed straight to the Capcom booth. This year, the company was showcasing Resident Evil 2 Remake, Devil May Cry 5 & Mega Man 11. I got some pretty sweet swag! There was also a special DMC5 presentation with producer Matt Walker and game director Hideaki Itsuno. I even got a picture with Itsuno and he complimented my T-shirt (which was obviously not intended, ahem)! Dante’s voice actor, Reuben Langdon, even made a special guest appearance! This party’s getting crazy!
After that, I went to see all of the booths! The most impressive one was definitely the PlayStation one! They let us go inside and there were many many games that we could try out. I mostly stood back and took footage of the games as it was permitted. Good guys Sony win this year!
Other activities there are obviously the merchandise area where you buy souvenirs. I got myself a few Tokyo Game show T-shirts! There’s also an Indie Game Area where you can try out a bunch of very interesting games! Monster Boy was there and it looks amazing! Also, big shoutouts to the cosplayers, some of them were amazing!
So that was it for Tokyo Game Show this year. I’d love to come back next year as it’s always a fun experience!
Next stop: Nara with its beautiful deer garden and even more! Stay tuned! 🦌
