Tokyo Game Show was out of control. There were 180 exhibitors there and I know that doesn’t seem like a lot compared to E3 and Comic-con but all of the largest gaming companies were presented there. The exhibitors were Sony, Microsoft, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Capcom and Namco Bandai and a lot more. The booth babes were definitely immaculately dressed and super kawaii (that’s cute in Japanese). I learned a lot about the new games coming out this season and you can catch my footage on UFRAGTV.

After being there I totally want a PSP go, the new smaller PSP which doesn’t even need any UMD cards. Everything is downloadable! Talk about technology! The interviewee’s were mostly all Japanese speaking only so interviewed in both Japanese and English. There was a Tekken 6 competition at Namco Bandai and the players came from all around the world. I was suprised to see people from Hungary, Iran, and Italy visiting the game show, but gaming is a very influential industry! Most of all I loved the professional Cosplayer’s. For those of you who don’t know what Cos-play is its a shortened term for Costume-Play.

These people dress up as gaming and anime characters from head to toe and act like the characters as well. The Japanese cosplayers overall definitely seemed way more meticulous and intricate than the cosplayers I see in the U.S. I have some photos with them, and again, all of the footage is on UFRAGTV. The show is about an hour but you should definitely watch it!
