Big Digital Game Show in - Where Else? - Tokyo

"Hands-On With Tokyo Game Show’s Hottest New Games"
Game | Life, Wired (September 25, 2009)

"Each year, the Tokyo Game Show lets rabid gamers get their hands on new titles months before the videogames hit store shelves.

"The allure of the sneak peek proves to be a powerful draw: Gamers stream in through the doors early in the morning and wait in line, sometimes for hours, for a chance to play what might be the next big thing...."

The Wired article starts out with Final Fantasy XIII ("Final"? "XIII"?!!); and ends with Professor Layton 4 and Ni no Kuni Shine: which probably means a great more to dedicated gamers than it does to me. I do recognize the Ghibli name, though: I'm not that out of touch with contemporary culture.

Gamers, and people trying to make sense of what they're talking about, might find this article helpful.
