Posted on 3 years ago by Nicolas in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Following its announcement last October, it’s been confirmed that Tokyo Game Show 2022 will indeed have a physical presence when it takes place later this year. This new comes to us today from the event organizers, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association.
TGS 2022 was announced last year only a few weeks after TGS 2021. That event had also been a hybrid, with both physical events and online presentations taking place during the show. TGS 2022 seems to be more of the same, putting a greater emphasis on physical booths and exhibitions while maintaining a strong online presence.

Despite it being a weekend, a pretty big Nintendo-related presentation took place today. Pokemon Presents is something we’ve seen previously, but it made a return again for Pokemon Day.
It goes without saying that Pokemon Scarlet / Violet was the biggest announcement of the show, closing out the presentation. Gen 9 is here, and it’s bringing along an open-world with it. We also got a new update for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Shaymin’s appearance in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl, Alola Pokemon for Pokemon GO, and more.

Pokemon Presents was announced this past Thursday, but in a bit of a low-key manner. While we heard about the presentation thanks to an official website in Japan, there was no prior notice in North America and Europe. However, there was a clear reason for this.
