<p>Immersion into the game world</p>

<p>PokeRobo was so cute I just wanted to take him home!</p>

<p>Not all the booth girls were animated though!</p>

<p>GungHo's Puzzles and Dragons had a big presence.</p>

<p>Puzzles and Dragons</p>

<p>I tried a bunch of different games, but the racing simulators were the best.</p>

<p>This racing simulator booth gave out personalized certificates when you reached the goal on the game.</p>

<p>Big, scary robots aplenty</p>

<p>It's harder to take expert discussions seriously when they're dressed like this.</p>

<p>History lesson: Celebrating the 31 year history of the Tokyo Game Show</p>

<p>Playstation was one of the biggest exhibitions and ...</p>

<p>... hundreds of people were flocked to their booth to hear about the latest news and developments.</p>

<p>Cute & scary at the same time</p>

<p>Stonefaced</p>

<p>Cardboard cutouts with attitude</p>

<p>Gundam style</p>

<p>Wearing these glasses was like having an Imax screen attached to your eyes.</p>

<p>Finally, a computer program to determine my compatibility with someone...</p>

Tokyo Game Show is the largest annual gaming convention in Asia. In 2013 it attracted a record number of exhibitions by 352 organizations from 33 countries, and had an estimated 200,000 visitors over four days. As expected, there were some super cool toys, some weird costumes and some very excited gamers. These photos, from day one (business day), are just a glimpse of the madness of the Tokyo Game Show.
