Prende il via l’edizione 2008 di uno tra i più importanti eventi internazionali dedicati ai videogames, il il Tokyo Game Show. L’evento nipponico nasce nel 1996 con due presentazioni all’anno, nel periodo primaverile ed autunnale, ridotte poi ad una nel 2002 con un unico appuntamento in autunno.
L’edizione di quest’anno sarà nuovamente aperta a stampa e pubblico separatamente: giorni d’apertura ai giornalisti sono il 9 e 10 Ottobre 2008 dalle 10:00 alle 17:00, mentre i videogiocatori potranno visitare l’evento i giorni 11 e 12 Ottobre nella medesima fascia oraria. Considerando il fuso orario di 8 ore avanti rispetto al nostro, gli orari vanno dalle nostre ore 2:00 di notte alle 7:00 di mattina.
