TGS 2022 date

TGS 2022 (Tokyo Game Show) already have a date and is confirmed to take place between September 15 and September 18, 2022, show organizers announced today. It is tentatively planned to be held at the Makuhari Messe per usual. Beyond that, further information has not been provided. That’s hardly surprising given how it’s a year out.

TGS 2021 just took place last week. It was held later than normal as we’re typically used to seeing it happen during the middle of September. While TGS 2020 was all digital due to the pandemic, this year’s event opened things up a bit with an online and digital mix.

The Game Awards 2021 date

The Game Awards 2021 now has a final date. Like all previous years, it will close out the year in December. Fans will be able to tune in on December 9.

The Game Awards skipped its in-person presence in 2020 due to the pandemic. For 2021, creator and host Geoff Keighley will be bringing that component back. It will be invite-only and is set to be held at the Microsoft Theater. Information regarding health and safety protocols will follow at a later date.

A new lush jungle area will be added to Super Nintendo World with a 2024 release goal. Along with this expansion comes a new Donkey Kong-themed roller coaster attraction, as well as new places to eat and shop. It is not known at this time if the new attractions will make use of Augmented Reality, the magnetic wristband peripheral, or have any connectivity with the Nintendo Switch. Notably, the AR features have worked well for the Mario Kart attraction, and we will provide more details as they are revealed.

The overall area of Super Nintendo World will be around 1.7 times the size of the original floor plan, with enough attractions so that not only those who have played the “Donkey Kong” series can enjoy it, but all guests will find something to love. The goal is to maintain the excitement of Super Nintendo World so that guests continue to see it as an essential experience as part of their trip to the park. The graphic below is a small map of the planned expansion, showing where the additional elements will be constructed. With a small section of open area left over, it begs the question — will Super Nintendo World see more expansions in the future?

No More Heroes 1.5

It took over a decade, but No More Heroes 1.5 has finally received an English dub.

No More Heroes 1.5, a motion comic, was included with the Hopper’s Edition of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle in Japan. It was intended to bridge the gap between the series’ first two entries. Suda51 wrote the story, and apparently kept it secret from most Grasshopper Manufacture staffers while it was being created.
