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.
Brad Rice is Destructoid's Features Editor (also known as Dick McVengeance). Yesterday was his birthday, hence the BradRicetoid.
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.
Go dtoid team. Receive all the video games/std's 99.9% of us can't get.
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.
Sadly. How quickly folks would forget a mediocre E3 presser if they were to have a better TGS presser.
Will someone be wearing a Ron Was Right! shirt during the TGS Konami press conference?
