![]() ![]() I eventually found it, and they had big displays for SF6 (of course), Exoprimal with a really nice animatronic dinosaur, and a large Resident Evil section too. I walked around, basically just looking for the Capcom booth. And there is no reason to try to shoe-forn NFTs into games. One thing that caught my attention as soon as I walked in was a booth saying something like "NFTs here", which is crazy. If I had more time I would have checked out a lot more stuff, but I didn't want to get caught in the crush of people trying to leave at 6pm, so I wanted to leave a bit sooner. I took a few pictures on the way, but honestly this year there just wasn't much that I was excited to see. I basically entered, and then searched for the Capcom booth. The afternoon tickets let people in at 14:00, and you can see in one picture there is a big line of people waiting for their turn to enter. I had a full day ticket which meant I could enter at 10am, but I didn't make it there until 13:30. At the conbini I bought some bread and onigiri in case I got hungry in some line - and I knew that there would be a line somewhere - and headed out. It's about an hour from my place to Makuhari Messe. If you’re interested in indie games, I definitely recommend going.As the date approached, we had some stuff come up on Saturday, like a parent-teacher conference for our daughter, but that's fine. In stark contrast to booths of those big names, the indie area feels more homey and personal. At TGS there is a dedicated indie games area where you can actually talk to the developers. Games created by individuals or small independent companies have been gaining steam in recent years. Then you get a pretty good feeling of what graphic style this country likes. ![]() Even you prefer to stare at the booth-babes, see how many of them are cute anime styles and how many of them in western cool styles. Only these reflect the true affections of local gamers. Look at the sizes of the crowd in front of booths and the length of queues. ![]() There are always rich companies who can afford them. Don’t just look at the sizes of the booth. Q: For game developers from outside of Japan, do you have any advice for them to make the most of participating in TGS?Ī: Come to the venue on public days this weekend. Alan has participated in TGS 9 years in a row. I got to talk to Alan Lan, Twitter’s Head of Sales for Greater China, and asked him to share with us his thoughts on TGS.

For those who wanna stay ahead of the game As a longtime casual gamer myself, I think it’s fair to say that I’ve lived long enough to see what has happened to gaming in the past 30 years, though I may not have been enthusiastic enough to be included in the game nerds’ circle.įor example, though I’ve seen Super Mario evolving from an 8-bit pixel, side-scrolling 2D game, to a full-fledged 3D adventure, I don’t have a shiny PS4 in my living room, nor have I joined any online quest to, say, hunt down an Azure Rathalos. Nevertheless, I am excited to share with you on what I’ve seen today. In this article I will present you a timely update on the first day of TGS 2015.
