Tokyo Game Show

We're mere days away from TGS, the show that has been pegged as the spiritual sucessor to E3. I'm not overly excited, but there's sure to be some great announcements and games shown at the show.

This show seems like it's all about the PS3. Sony is going to have to work hard and deliver to dig themselves out of the ever-growing hole they've been digging away at since E3. I expect them to come out in top form and give us an impression of exactly what to expect from the PS3. I'm sure Japan will eat it up.

The 360 will be there too, but it's doubtful if it'll make as much of a splash as the PS3. There are some interesting things going to be shown there, though. Both Mistwalker games, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, will be on display and I'm pretty sure LO will have a huge demo to be played there.

I don't know if the Wii will be on hand, but I'm doubtful. I think there's going to be some 3rd party Wii stuff, but nothing major from Nintendo, if anything at all. They'll probably have some DS stuff to show off though.

Some of the big stuff confirmed to be at the show are: Devil May Cry 4, Final Fantasy XIII, MGS4: Guns of the Patriots for the PS3. And Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and Too Human for the 360.

Personally I'm looking forward to the 360 showing more than anything, those two RPG's look crazy. Blue Dragon, for those who don't know, is a renuion for some of the important people who created the SNES game Chrono Trigger. Sakaguchi (Who's leading the project), Uematsu (Who's compsing the music), and Toriyama (Who's doing the character designs). So that game has a lot of potential to be a really ground-breaking RPG for the 360 in Japan.

So who else is looking forward to TGS?
