Japan Expo was mind-blowing today!

What did you think of this day? You missed it? Then here’s a little report (short in size but huge considering the guests’ talent) of what happened! And we give you some tips to catch up tomorrow!

Posted on

The expected moment of video game fans was taking place today: Nintendo’s big event with a great name of video games, Mario’s creator (to mention only this one) and video game guest of honor of the festival, Shigeru MIYAMOTO. For this exceptional visit to Japan Expo, he presented Star Fox Zero for Wii U and the gameplay’s news. And he had not one but two big surprises for the audience with two guests who joined him on stage.

 
 
 
 

Takashi TEZUKA, the producer of Super Mario Maker, presented that game, followed by a demo of the level creation tool, with a level created especially for Paris!

And a third one: Tsubasa SAKAGUCHI, co-director of Splatoon, then went up on stage, armed with a… water gun! Then he presented his game too.

Is it worth mentioning that the audience cheered all three guests, with a standing ovation for each, and to end this memorable conference.

Another event for all Sword Art Online fans: the exclusive conference given by Reki KAWAHARA, the author of the light novel which started the saga, and abec, the illustrator and chara-designer of the anime. On stage with their publisher, they talked about the debut of the Sword Art Online phenomenon, from the first words Reki KAWAHARA wrote to today’s success. As a proof, the huge audience who had come for this exclusive conference! The finish surprise: the illustration of the French cover of volume 3 was unveiled. Signed abec, of course! 

And Japan Expo is not about to stop with a Saturday that’s gonna be hot. Not because of the temperature (which should not be as high as first forecast… just a little lower though), but rather of the European Cosplay Gathering finals which is welcoming, on top of the best copslayers from 11 European countries, YOSHIKI, leader of the legend X Japan. And he has something exclusive to tell you!

 
 
 
 

To keep on with the music, VAMPS is inviting you to a one-hour long show, all J-rock! If you’re a fan of Neon Genesis EvangelionTHE event you must attend tomorrow is definitely starring Yoshiyuki SADAMOTO with an exceptional conference.

 

So have some rest and get ready for tomorrow!
