The exhibition consisted of eleven areas where visitors could play games from big and small publishers and buy game merchandise at the official stores. Japanese companies had struggled with developing games for the latest generation of game consoles after they were released, and it was believed that the Japanese game industry would never catch up to their Western counterparts, but recent successes of previously niche titles such as Persona 5, Yakuza Zero, and Monster Hunter World symbolize the return to power moment for Japan.Īs usual, this year Tokyo Game Show was held in the Makuhari Messe complex in Chiba Prefecture. Unlike western countries, arcade gaming is still doing well in Japan but the upcoming tax hike might damage it since will no longer be “ one 50 yen or 100 yen coin experience”. Today, game publishers in Japan try to release their products on every system available to reach a bigger audience. The Japanese gaming market consists of three parts: home console games, handle games (mobile/portable consoles), and arcades. Mario, Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong creator Shigeru Miyamoto has received critical and fan acclaim in Japan as well as abroad, as has done Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series and the upcoming Death Stranding. Some of the most famous video game publishers and developers started in japan, including but not limited to Sony Computer Entertainment, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Square Enix, Platinum Games, Sega Atlus, and Nintendo. Criticism like this having never occurred in Japan points at the unique position video games have in Japanese society. In Russia, official spokeswoman of the foreign ministry blamed videogames for the younger generation’s careless attitudes towards nuclear war. In August, President Trump connected video games with the rise of aggression ( scientific research proved exactly the opposite). Although the “geek culture” is getting more attention around the world, in many places, including my homeland of Russia, a person wearing this kind of clothing would be considered at least “immature” or “childish.” There’s some social stigma imposed on “otaku” in Japan, but generally video games are a mainstream media just like movies, books, music and etc.Īs a relatively new medium, video games have often become the object of criticism, especially from politicians who want to receive some attention by attacking it. On my way to the show, I could see a lot of people wearing merchandise with game characters (including anime look girls) even though it was a week day. ![]() We already wrote about how games are popular in Japan, but it’s worth mentioning again that Japan has a unique gaming culture. Here I will explain the unique position of the gaming industry in the context of Japanese culture, share my general impression of the exhibition, and cover a few games such as Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077.
