Summary

Tokyo Game Show 2017

There were too many things to see.
What I tried is just a part as most of the popular VR games had a long waiting line.
You can also enjoy talk of producer, creator, seiyu, etc.
And if you try games or even if you did not try, you can get many things for free here.
Just prepare for long line!!

Actually my last game was original PlayStation and I think Final Fantasy 8 was the last game.
The progress of image, sound and technique since then is really surprising.

I felt like I was born in really exciting age.
I’m going to buy VR goggle one of these days!!
