Tokyo Game Show details revealed

The Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association and Nikkei Business Publications, announced some details on the 2009 Tokyo Game Show, which will be held over a four-day period between Thursday, September 24 and Sunday, September 27, 2009 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba City, Japan. Yeah, it’s not in Tokyo. Go figure. The Game Science Museum, which will exhibit game technologies, histories, and trends, will be set up this year in Halls 2, 4, and 8 (Kids’ Area).

Meanwhile, hall 2 will feature games related to sengoku samurai (feudal warlords), a theme that has recently been enjoying great popularity in Japan, as well as an exhibition of the armor and helmets of nine of the most popular Japanese warlords.

Hall 4 will exhibit the structure of the latest game consoles in an easy-to-understand way, and introduce the latest technology being applied to gaming. The Kids’ Area will show how game character graphics have evolved in a way easily understandable for children as well.

The organizers also wanted to point out that the show will use “green power” like last year; the show’s power will be generated by a biomass power station.

Admission for adults will be ¥1,200 for a same-day ticket, while children (elementary school age and younger) get in free of charge.
