Tokyo Game Show is coming back with a bang this year, and it looks like there’ll be a lot to look forward to throughout the extended weekend. Scheduled to start on 21st September through 24th September, organisers the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association have been billing this as the biggest TGS in some time, with the country’s iconic Makuhari Messe being filled to capacity this time.
In fact, the CESA is touting over 770 exhibitors across over 2,600 booths. According to a press release, a total of 1,762 games will be on display, and while you should probably expect a lot of filler among those ranks – well, that’s still a huge number of games. Even if you’re not in attendance, however, a full streaming schedule has been revealed as follows:

@Powerplay94 Sony and Nintendo haven't had an TGS Stream in like....ever. Both never had one there as far as I remember
@number1024 Third place is still better than giving up. It's not about the winning but the taking part!
@Enigk even when it cost millions (billions) of $$$????
@Powerplay94 Doesn't really matter though does it as xbox will still sell poorly in Japan no matter how many events they attend, only way they will do well is if they get big Japanese games as exclusives but Japanese devs won't take that risk yet.
@Powerplay94 Nintendo also had a Direct in September for the last years
Really hoping for a huge Monster Hunter announcement.
If Sega, square-enix, capcom and heck... even hoyoverse are there, then I'm good. If Sony were there it'd just be "here look, Spiderman 2 is coming... even in Japanese!"
Gonna be there on the final day. Hoping to check out some good games, get some booth freebies, maybe buy some merch, good photos and videos. But my ultimate goal?
See if I can do the OOB glitch on MGS1 (assuming all 3 are playable) at the Konami booth and seeing if it crashes their console.
But yeah I'm down for checking out mainly Sega/Atlus and Capcom. Dragon Dogma 2 and RE4 VR Hands on!
@PSme If they have money to burn then at least it is keeping some people happy. Also a third horse in the race helps keep Sony on their toes.
@VaultGuy415
Same
I need Monster Hunter 6 yesterday
No Shift Up to be seen.
@Grimwood I hope so. Been waiting on them forever now. Also hope to see slitterhead, vanillawares new game and Platinum's project gg
