As a seasoned gamer who’s been through the ups and downs of the gaming world since the days of 8-bit graphics and cassette tapes, I can confidently say that this year’s Tokyo Game Show is shaping up to be one heck of a ride! With Capcom bringing out heavy hitters like Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, Monster Hunter Wilds, and the long-awaited Street Fighter 6, it feels like I’ve stumbled upon a treasure trove of nostalgia and excitement.

Capcom has officially revealed its schedule for the Tokyo Game Show 2024, with several exciting games slated to be showcased at the event. Some of these games, such as “Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster”, “Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics”, and “Monster Hunter Wilds”, will even offer playable demos for visitors to try out.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can tell you that the Tokyo Game Show is like Japan’s version of E3. It’s where all the big Japanese publishers and developers come together to unveil their upcoming games to a huge crowd. This year, there’s a lot of buzz about some major announcements, including a new game from the creators of Yakuza. Some companies might be skipping this year’s event, such as Xbox, which hasn’t been doing so well in Japan. But Sony’s PlayStation is making a comeback after being absent for five years, which definitely adds to the excitement!

The Tokyo Game Show is scheduled to take place from September 26th through September 29th, specifically at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. On the opening day, September 26th, there will be a live-streamed presentation by Capcom between 10 am and 10:50 am Eastern Time. At the event, fans can test out various demos, such as “Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics”, “Monster Hunter Wilds”, “Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster”, “Street Fighter 6”, and others. Notable figures from the gaming industry, including Hideo Kojima, will be present at TGS, with updates on “Death Stranding 2” expected.

In the demo for “Street Fighter 6”, it’s possible that Terry Bogard, a new character from the “Fatal Fury” series, will make an appearance. Terry is set to be released on September 24, which happens to be just before the Tokyo Game Show event. Interestingly, Terry would be the first guest character in the “Street Fighter” series if this comes true. Following closely, Mai Shiranui from both “Fatal Fury” and “King of Fighters” is expected to be the second guest character and could also be featured at the event. Capcom, known for their crossovers, such as the “Marvel vs.” series, might be planning something similar with “Street Fighter”. In the past, minor characters from “Final Fight” have appeared in titles like “Street Fighter 3: Third Strike”, hinting at a shared universe between these games.

The reimagined version of “Dead Rising” will also be showcased at the Tokyo Game Show. Notable improvements, such as the ability to save during runs in Infinity Mode for the “Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster,” are planned for the upcoming game. Alterations to the psychopaths, or boss characters within “Dead Rising,” have stirred controversy among some fans. The Tokyo Game Show is anticipated to reveal exciting updates about the “Dead Rising” series, as well as fresh information on multiple other popular titles slated for release in the near future.
