MONSTER HUNTER WORLD @ Tokyo Game Show 2017

As almost every year since 2012 I visited Tokyo Game Show this September. One of the biggest and maybe the most exciting booth every year was the CAPCOM booth, especially because of the new installment of the Monster Hunter series, MONSTER HUNTER WORLD. The first public presentation and a playable DEMO was available at GamesCom but people had line up for several hours because the demand was a lot bigger than expected.

To compare the atmosphere here you can find some old TGS articles:

Tokyo Game Show 2016 - Monster Hunter Stories - RIDE ON!

Monster Hunter World is really awesome, a freely wild world that you can explore without being devided in separate areas to always reload before entering. A monsters were available to hunt down as well as the opportunity to track them and gather items.

Like every year they had a giant flagship wyvern statue to take pictures of, especially when one of their hired Cosplayers was posing in front of it.

Monster Hunter World was definitely my highlight of this year's TGS.

Other Interesting areas were Capcom's shooting range, as well as other nice games from Square Enix like the Upcoming Remake of Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana) for PS4 and PSVITA.

As usual there are always some funny things to see or try/play. The new Warriors title, FIRE EMBLEM WARRIORS from Koei Tecmo for Nintendo Switch got me really psyched.

Beside the games and the new merchandise the Cosplayers are a huge attraction on Saturday and Sunday.

Enjoy the pictures!

See you again next year!
