This year's Tokyo Game Show to be largest yet, Destructoid will be there photo

Next Generation is reporting that this year's Tokyo Game Show will be the largest that the event has ever seen; over 168 exhibitors occupying 1,708 booths have been revealed for this year's show.

Once again, Nintendo have opted out of the show and will not be making an appearance, which means no new pictures of Donkey Kong punching Princess Peach in the face for you. However, expect to see "major" announcements from the industry's other big players such as Sony, Microsoft, Capcom, Square Enix, and more.

The show will run across four days, from September 20-23, and is expected to draw nearly 200,000 people. Among the people in attendance will be yours truly, along with a few of the other Destructoid "l33t," bringing you the latest news, poorly translated interviews, and hands-on impressions from the show.

Oh, and a lot of drunken karaoke pictures, of course.

I hate TGS. They always show more games that I want there than at E3, but we'll only ever see maybe a fifth of them stateside. I need to learn Godzillaland language...

If you guys need a guide to help show you where all the best live japanese bukkake shows are located in Tokyo, I will gladly volunteer my services in exchange for a plane ticket. I speak enough Japanese to get you laid for under 40000Y.

Same applies for all the best places to eat shitty mexican food. I know a horrible place in Shinjuku that's in a basement.

Who likes shredded cabbage and ketchup on their tacos?!

If there's not a photo montage of Mr. Destructoid ripping it up in Kabukicho, I consider the TGS a wash.

Secret hint: Stay away from the african guys in Kabukicho. Seriously. Only talk to the asian guys.

Stay away from all african guys you see in Tokyo for that matter. They're usually shameless sales guys that want you to buy shit from their store. THEY WILL FOLLOW YOU. Even if you ignore them completely. I had some dude follow me down Takeshite Street in Harajuku for like 5 minutes to try and convince me to buy Pumas from his store.

my birthday was the 29th. I got a bike.
I'm 20, btw.


oh, and if Nintendo isn't going to show shit here, when the hell are they gonna start showing stuff. Really, Metroid will be out, but people gotta play Galaxy and Brawl at some point before the release.

I'm glad that bradricetoid only lasts for 1 day. That negative picture of him is really creeping me out.

Destructoid will be there... but Nintenwon't.

Sadly. How quickly folks would forget a mediocre E3 presser if they were to have a better TGS presser.

@dvddesign: thanks for conjuring images of a Dtoid helmet in a livebukkake show for me, that was a first.

Will someone be wearing a Ron Was Right! shirt during the TGS Konami press conference?
