Yet another big event that I managed to catch over the weekend. This time it’s the Tokyo Game Show 2007. This event is held in Makuhari Messe (the same exhibition hall where Interop was held) which means I had to travel for more than an hour from my place just to get there. Anyway, I’m not a console gaming freak myself but what da heck… it’s a once-a-year-event… might as well just check it out right?

So, I made my way there on Saturday morning… and after 15 minutes of walk to the train station, 1 hour and 15 minutes of train ride and another 10 minutes of walk… I managed to get to the main entrance!

Welcome to Tokyo Game Show 2007!

more pictures after the jump… (please be patient while the picture loads)

First of all… it’s packed. But that’s not a surprise since console gaming is such a big thing and everyone just wants to sample the latest games and devices.

The Movie Square where it showcase a gallery of the past movies within the industry… more like a museum thingy.

The Microsoft area… they’re doing some interviews or some sort… but all in Japanese… zenzen wakaranai.

Halo 3… the queue for this game is so long…

Devil May Cry 4… I like the anime… but very short… only 12 episodes.

Square Enix and the famous chocobo from Final Fantasy.

Konami - super cool Metal Gear Solid 4 video…

Definitely cannot miss Sony’s booth… the panel on the top is really nice!

Talk about perfect timing… when I was there… I managed to see AKB48 perform live! These girls are really great!!! But sadly… there’s loads of their staffs around - cameras are not allowed.

Yet another artist performing or something… but this one I “tak kenal” la~

As with all the big big events… there’s one thing in common - nice looking Japanese girls passing out flyers and lots of people with camera snapping their pictures. Of course, I also don’t want to lose out la~ hahaha… so, I did take a couple… just for fun.

Well, another event crossed out from my “to-visit” list! Now looking forward to next month’s 40^th Tokyo Motor Show!

Cheers~
