Four Days Until Tokyo Game Show 2009!

I'm so excited for tales of graces!! I can't wait to see the raw gameplay footage

It seems Microsoft is holding a press conference outside of the main TGS event on the 24th.

The original source is FujiSankei/Bloomberg.

Wonder what they'll show?

Please God, let Sony discuss their plans for the PSPgo.

It's supposed to be on shelves in less than two weeks now, and they've had very little to say about how they plan on supporting the system and handling the distribution of games.

I'm ready to lead a digital lifestyle Kaz, won't you let me be great?!

The inevitable Peace Walker trailer is also making me feel a little light headed.

End of Eternity TGS 2009 Trailer.

Day one!

1up's TGS Page is up!
Sony is also asking for any questions you might have for developers at TGS on the Playstation Blog.

Also, stay tuned for the first of many of 1up's Listen Up! podcasts to hit the web later tonight straight out of Tokyo. Can't wait. Hopefully Jeremy Parish is doing it, because he's a freaking God when it comes to gaming.

I wonder if Microsoft is going to be showing some more of Natal? Maybe we'll some Japanese developer support jumping behind it.

OP Updated.

Nice! Can't wait to see what mysteries will be unveiled.

Unreliable site claiming three new games will be announced at TGS:

don' tknow this site

rumour:
Ar Tonelico 3
Legend of Dragoon 2
and Grandia 4 @ TGS

Also, Microsoft "Definitely has something to show" at TGS.

Eurogamer: With Tokyo Game Show just round the corner, everyone's expecting another announcement-heavy showing from Sony, which would be their third in around five months compared to your one big showing at E3. Do you plan to make any announcements at TGS? Is it a strategically important show for Xbox?

Aaron Greenberg: We are going to TGS this year, but unlike last year will not be doing a keynote. TGS is more like GDC, where typically only one platform company does a keynote each year and so, given that we hosted the keynote last year, we are going to step aside and let Sony have a turn on the stage. With that said, the Japanese market and the development community there is very important to us, so we will absolutely have some new stuff to show in Tokyo, but unfortunately you are going to have to wait a bit longer for the details.

So gracious of them to step aside.

I'm totally down with a new Ar Tonelico and Grandia (!!!)

Oh man! Please let there be a Legend of Dragoon 2. Please...

If there is a Legend of Dragoon 2 I am going to have a very large party and there is going to be cake.

Listen Up has their first of three TGS podcasts up. In this podcast, they discuss gaming culture in Japan. It's a very good podcast, especially if that's something you're in to.

Also, this Friday's Famitsu has been leaked, revealed a fair amount of information that will be shown at the Tokyo Game Show!

First good GIF of TGS?:


Two hours until Sony's Keynote!

Sony Japan apparently having their own conference three hours after the keynote? Perfect time for The Last Guardian!

Keynote going on now!!

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/24/tg...apan-in-march/

Damn, I want it now.

Is it just me, or did absolutely nothing happen in that keynote?

Like that every year. The exception was the Wii announcement.

Microsoft's Conference was basically a Natal dick-sucking, excuse my language, by promenant Japanese developers. "I'm looking forward to it." Fantastic, Kojima. That's great.

The secret big PSN game was Final Fantasy VIII!, which is now available to download on the Japanese PSN!!!!

Also, Final Fantasy XIII is to get bundled with a White PS3 Slim in Japan with a 250GB hard drive, because 120GB is just not hardcore enough.

Flower, LittleBigPlanet, Resident Evil 5, PAIN, High Velocity Bowling, and EyePet are all going to get Motion Controller support. Pretty awesome/interesting, I guess.

Going to look for more information.

Yeah I didn't post anything because it's all stuff everyone already knows about so far. I didn't know about VIII though, that's great.

Actually, I think he was just trying to make MS look magnanimous when, in reality, he was saying, "No, uh... No, we really don't have anything right now..." Still, looking forward to their stuff. Even though I don't own a 360. Yet.

Personally, I've had my fill of trailers for PS3 stuff. I want some actual releases! Here's to the end of October.

FFVIII, though? Why? It wasn't even that popular. Give us FFIX, Square! We need shiny sword monkeys!
