Tokyo Game Show 2011
TGS 2011 was held September 15th to 18th, at Makuhari Messeh. The easiest way to get to TGS from Tokyo is to take the Keiyo Line to Kaihin Makuhari. Personally not very interested in games any more, but decided to visit for the cosplay.

The welcome slogan is "a game is when your heart is beating of excitement".

Cospa booth. They sell clothes, mostly t-shirts, with anime and game motifs.

Mario plushes. There was one I wanted to get, but it was coming on sale in November.

Konami's booth. Metal Gear Solid one of their flagships this year again.

Many long lines if you want to try out the popular games.

Bushi Road.



A giant Domo-kun to take your picture with.

Cute girls promoting 3D TVs and glasses.


Dragon's Dogma. No idea what kind of game this is.

Street Fighter VS Tekken. An unthinkable collaboration som 10 years ago.

Asura's Wrath, another unknown game to me.

I once tried the Monster Hunter trend, but never got into it. It's seemingly popular.

Finally got out to the coslpay area. Honestly, I was a little disappointed with the slim supply of quality cosplay. Again, as I am not keeping up with games and anime lately, many of these are unknown to me.




Reminds me of Metal Gear Solid.



A group of robots/androids/creatures.



I'm not the only SKE48 fan here.

Girls in pink outfits.


Mazinger Z.

Jagi, Kenshiro's brother, from Hokuto no Ken. I believe he is one of the fighting games.

Caith Sith from Final Fantasy VII.






Each company has their own way of promoting their games.


Capcom always have one of the longest lines for their Biohazard games.

By the end of the day, the booth girls for each company get together for a photo session. There are so many people who want to take photos, that I don't need to use any flash.

SKE48 filmed their music video "Aozora Kataomoi" on top of this building, just next to Makuhari Messeh.













iDOLM@STER 2...was excited for this a year ago when the xbox 360 version was announced and was shown at that TGS.
