Asia's largest video game event, the Tokyo Game Show, kicked off this week with hundreds lining up to get the first glimpses of the latest and greatest in video games.
About 180 video game makers are pulling out all the stops to promote their newest games… like this one that works without a handheld controller.
"With 'Natal' you can use all your body parts including your hands, legs as well as your brain so we're really hoping to promote this game," said Joji Sakaguchi, Xbox 360 Marketing Director.
Sony also announced it will launch the "Gran Turismo 5" video game for Playstation 3 in March 2010. Many visitors rushed to Sony's booth to experience a test run.
Others spent time playing Sony's newest PlayStation Portable. Called PSPgo, it’s a smaller and lighter version of the former PSP. That’s set to be launched on October 1st.
"We're hoping to increase opportunities for people to enjoy a wide variety of Play Station games from rich content-heavy games to lighter games with cartoon characters," said Daisuke Nakata, Manager, Sony Corp. Communications.
More than 200,000 people are expected to attend the four-day show.
