TGS, Business Day

I must admit that we got to the Tokyo Game Show pretty late in the afternoon, so I wasn't able to check it completely out. However, I did learn that Business day is the day to attend to this thing, since there is like 10 times less people on the floor. Today I am going again but, since it will be open to the public, lines should be really long and everything should be a bit more crowded.

rOn my way to TGS I played Winning Eleven on my new PSP (whitey, whitey). Brazil defeated Uruguay for 1-0, not really bad for a first match. There will definitively be another match today... At TGS I learned that there is a cell phone version of Winning Eleven, even though it may only be for Japanese phones.

rSo far, the most appealing game on the floor was Loco Roco (no pics yet), a gorgeous PSP game. As gizmos go, Metal Gear Acid PSP stereoscopic adapter was really cool. It is a white box with two lenses that you put over the PSP's screen in order to play the game in 3D. The lenses are just transparent, so this is not one of those color filter 3D systems (the 3D effect worked really well but of course it kills the Portable part of the PSP).

rYou may wonder what the pic next to the guy with a Hawaiian shirt is. It's a ukulele simulator for the PSP. I totally sucked at it but I assume that somebody with some rhythm may actually put some good use to it.

rLater on that night, it was time for some serious shabu shabu with the regular TGS crew (Justin, Robin, Doug). Justin brought me a mullet wig from the States, so my hair style now can go unnoticed in Shibuya.
