Tokyo Game Show 2008: full list of exhibitors revealed
“Ready for GAME time!” Tokyo Game Show 2008’s theme is definitely one that can get your heart pumping. I know something else that might get your heart pumping: the full list of exhibitors to be present in this year’s gaming event at Tokyo. Knowing the exhibitors at TGS 2008 might give a hint as to what games we can probably expect on the show floor (and knowing what games can, in turn, give us a hint as to what types of boothbabe cosplays we might expect to see too). Check out the huge list in the full article!
Right out of the Leipzig Games Convention, you better get ready for the next big event in the video games industry! The Tokyo Game Show is finally gearing up with this year’s theme of “Ready for GAME time!”
And you definitely should be. We just got whiff of the full list of exhibitors to be present at this year’s event. Just so you know (are you packing your bags yet?), the event is to be held from October 9 to 12; the first two days being the business days, while the final two would be open to the public.
Now for the list! We see Sony and Square Enix sitting side by side there, and there’s Microsoft, Level-5, Sega, Koei, Tecmo, Capcom, EA, and D3Publisher populating the list too. But wait… where’s Nintendo? Going MIA again like last year, eh? Well, I’m sure a lot of third-parties are there to show some Nintendo DS and Wii games.
Given these exhibitors… Think you can already expect what kind of announcements to find? Will we see new games or just updates on previously announced games? It’s definitely getting my heart pumping… It’s GAME time!
