Cosplay Mob Immortalised In New Anime
In the past, the Tokyo Game Show relegated cosplay to the corridors between the main convention centre hallways (the upcoming TGS, apparently, will be different). Those corridors were always packed with cosplayers — and people. Sometimes things could get a little scary when cosplayers were surrounded. A little? Make that very.
Where’s My Lime Green Wii, Nintendo?
I was told to arrive early — that Nintendo would be announcing something big. Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata stood before the 2005 Tokyo Game Show podium and did just that: he showed off the new controller for the very first time. The console was then codenamed “Revolution”. It was later released as the Nintendo Wii and was a pretty big deal.
Hyperdimension Neptunia’s Creator Dreams Of A Fighting Game
This year at the Tokyo Game Show, Kotaku had the pleasure of sitting down with Mizuno Naoko, the creator of Hyperdimension Neptunia (and both of its sequels), to talk about the past, present, and future of the series. As we sat 47 floors above the game show proper, she told me about the origins of Neptunia.
What People Came To See At The Tokyo Game Show
We’ve already reported at some length how long the line was to get into the Tokyo Game Show this year. And with about over 95,000 attendees on the first public day, it’s easy to see why. And since literally thousands of people were standing in line with nothing to do, I decided to ask a few people at random about why they were at the Tokyo Game Show this year.
Up All Night With Some Of The Best Cosplay On Earth
Cosplayers’ Cure Night was a showcase of some truly great cosplay. Kotaku was around before the event (snapping pictures), but we had to retire for the evening before it kicked off. What can I say, our bed time is so early!
Sony’s Headset Prototype Has Relaxing Music
At this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Kotaku checked out Sony’s new prototype headset. This latest trailer shows a bit of how the headsets mixes real world and video footage.
Why I’m Sold On Wii U GamePad’s Multiplayer
While at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, I got my first hands on with the Wii U. Other Kotaku editors have used the Wii U plenty, but since I didn’t go to E3, this was my first. Prior to picking it up for the first time, I really didn’t have high expectations for it — nor did I have them for the game I was to play, Tank! Tank! Tank!.
