The Tokyo Game Show ended yesterday with no big surprises. Here is a selection of some “remarkable” booth companions at this year’s show.

Sega’s Let’s Tap [JP] for the Nintendo Wii has one of the strangest taglines I have ever heard: “Even a penguin could play this game!”.

Let’s Tap’s key point is the controls. Users are not supposed to hold the Wiimote in their hands but to tap its surface to play the game. It’s a pity Sega didn’t let me try it out but at least I could take a short video at the Tokyo Game Show.

I am a huge Sega and Sonic fan. The new entry in the neverending series for the PS3 delivers more of the same gameplay-wise but at least it looks absolutely awesome.

Check the video I shot at Sony’s Tokyo Game Show booth and judge for yourself. Read More

Here is a video I shot featuring gameplay sequences from Little Big Planet for the PS3, the game Sony heavily promotes at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. The game looked very interesting but I doubt it will turn into the system seller Sony obviously hopes it will become.

I am sorry for the ladies that these Wii videos I took at the Tokyo Game Show are (probably) not as interesting as this one for us guys, but the guy you see is incredible: I saw him early in the morning and he was dancing. I saw him in the late afternoon and he was still dancing.

Capcom released a new trailer for Resident Evil 5 (which will launch in the US and Japan on March 13, 2009) at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.

The company made a huge fuss about the game. I made a video at the TGS (see below) that shows the space Capcom dedicated to Resident Evil 5 alone at their (gigantic) booth.

This year’s Tokyo Game Show, which currently takes place in Chiba (1 hour east of Tokyo), is expected to be the biggest yet and it was actually quite crowded today already, at day one of the show (that ends Sunday).

Here are my first impressions:

1)
Microsoft makes a very strong showing this year. They have Tekken 6, Resident Evil 5, Streetfighter 4 and most importantly they have many cool RPGs like Last Remnant or Star Ocean. Their booth was surprisingly popular.

One of my favorite games of this year’s Tokyo Game Show is Streetfighter 4, which made an equally great impression on the XBOX 360 and PS3.

Capcom made massive efforts to promote the game, for example with this very cool trailer you can watch below.

Monster Hunter is a highly popular RPG brand in Japan so no wonder people lined up for hours at the Tokyo Game Show to play the third part of the series (I didn’t).

Capcom will release this game on the Wii but it’s undecided when. Watch a video of the game after the jump.

The video was shot by and provided to CrunchGear first by DigInfo Tokyo.

Everyone agrees that the Dragonball trailer looks pretty crappy, but at least Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World, a fighting game based on the famous Japanese anime/manga, looks pretty decent.

Namco Bandai promises the game, one of the biggest crowd pleasers today at the Tokyo Game Show, will hit stores worldwide on December 4th this year.

I just came back from this year’s Tokyo Game Show, which will end this Sunday (tomorrow is the second “business day”, followed by 2 days that are open to the general public).

And I have no doubt that Resident Evil 5 (Biohazard 5) is THE game of the show. I played both the XBOX 360 and the PS3 version and both looked and felt fantastic. If I could choose I would prefer the XBOX 360 version because of the superior controls.

I will add more footage from the Capcom booth and Resident Evil 5 later. The video above was made by and provided to CrunchGear first by DigInfo Tokyo.
