Silly people. Don't you know that there won't be a Tokyo Game Show this year? The would be organizers are too busy playing DS games to actually organize the show.

lol probably.  My dad was in Japan not too long ago and took a picture of a random busy street, and there were people (adults and kids) just walking down the street with DSes lol.  It's like a cell phone, everyone has one and it's on them at all times.

I can see the headlines now:

"Nintendo DS Destroys Game Show"

Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo's popular gaming expo the "Tokyo Game Show" was cancelled today.  Organizers for the event cited Nintendo as the reason for the show's downfall.

"Well, you see, what happened is we REALLY wanted to put on this show, right?  But then Nintendo just had to go and release a new game for their DS.  Needless to say, we spent all night playing it instead of doing our job" was the comment of one organizer, who wishes to remain anonymous.

Nintendo refused to comment on the allegations that they released the game before the show in the hopes of cancelling it in order to keep Sony's Playstation from gaining ground on their console, the Wii.  A Nintendo (PINK:NTDO) spokesperson gave the following statement.

"We are saddend that the organisers of this event felt it more worth their time to play our latest game instead of organise the event.  However, it was not our intention to do this."

 One supporter of Sony's Playstation had the following to say:

"See? Nintendo is destroying gaming!  Now we can't even have out own [censored] game show without Nintendo ruining it!  Where are the hardcore games?"

A Nintendo owner had the following response:

"ST[censored]U n00b!  the ORGANISERS of a GAMING show were playing it!  That means its hardcore!"

Perhaps the biggest victim here is Microsoft's Peter Moore, who spent the entire night hiding in a closet at the show planning to jump out and surprise the audience with a surprise look at the XBox360's new game, "Pandering to the Japanese Audience" while wearing a costume reminiscent of the popular Nintendo mascot Pikachu.

Moore was overheard saying, "I fly all the way across the ocean, buy this stupid costume, and THIS is how it ends? [censored] YOU NINTENDO!!! [censored] YOU!!!" 



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

rofl, that whole post was awesome, but the Peter Moore part was gold.



@ alpha_dk:

I could not stop laughing after reading your "artical"



They have no chance.

White Night Story playable.
FF13 new trailer
FF Versus new trailer
GT5 playable
MGS4 playable

Nintendo can dominate, if Kingdom hearts 3 is annouced as an exclusive for there console or just announced for there system they can dominate, but thats if its not released on any other console. KH3 is going to be the best rpg no doubt.



 

mM

Thats actually pretty weak if thats all sony's got.



Witty signature here...

Wii: 14 million by January  I sold myself short

360: 13 million by January I sold microsoft short, but not as bad as Nintendo.

PS3: 6 million by January. If it approaches 8 mil i'll eat crow  Mnn Crow is yummy.

With these results, I've determined that I suck at long term predictions, and will not long term predict anything ever again. Thus spaketh Crono.

Not that Sony's will be bad, but it's your list, versus mine:

Big games for DS at TGS:

-Nintendo:
Ash: Archaic Sealed Heat
Diddy Kong Racing DS (not released in Japan yet)
Mario Party DS
Mario & Sonic at the Olympics (counts for Wii as well)
and hopefully some new game anouncements, as they often anounce a bunch of new stuff at their private show

-Square Enix:
DQIX (the king of the show, and as soon as you get in the area you can play the demo with download and play)
FFIV
FF:CC: RoF
It's a Wonderful World (this one is going to be huge)

-Konami:
Contra 4 (I'm not actually sure how big Contra is in Japan...)
Vandal Hearts

-Capcom:
Phoenix Wright 5 (whatever it is in Japanese hehe)

-Sega:
Mario & Sonic (Nintendo as well)
Sonic RPG (the reception of this game in Japan is iffy, because of Bioware doing the development)
Sonic Rush Adventure

Big games for Wii at TGS:

-Nintendo:
Disaster: DoC (not sure if it will be shown or not)
Kirby Wii
Mario & Sonic again
Mario Kart Wii (again, this will be huge)
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Wii Fit (going to be HUGE in Japan)
Wii Music

-Square Enix:
FFCC:CB
Chocobo's Dungeon Wii

-Konami:
They still have an unnamed Wii RPG, so hopefully we'll get info on that. Otherwise not much.

-Capcom:
RE:UC
Devil Kings 2 (Sengoku Basara 2 in Japan)
Zack and Wiki

-Sega:
Alien Syndrome
Ghost Squad
Mario & Sonic (also counts for Nintendo)
NiGHTS

 



Aside from a few mentions, can I just say I'm shocked that no one seems to be thinking Wii Fit will dominate TGS. Wii Sports and Wii Play have been in the Japanese gaming charts for ages now, they've both sold extremely well and no doubt that sort of market is growing in Japan.

Now, both those games were very much just a taster of what to expect once Wii Fit is out. To me it's a no brainer that WIi Fit is going to propel the Wii in the Japanese market into an outstanding position, and a focus on it at TGS could be huge imo. Wii Music could have a great impact too on their presentation, along with Animal Crossing (The Ds version has outsold FFXII 2:1).

Also can someone please find me a source to prove Nintendo are at TGS? On another forum people won't believe me >_>.



Bravo alpha_dk. bravo.



And now we know why Moore got fired from microsoft: the public relations nightmare of having him assault DS playing japanese while in cosplay


I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
