Finally, Tokyo Game Show organizers Computer Entertainment have released an official list of exhibitors. The list has an exciting brand line that will mark their presence at the event. There were constant speculations about Japan’s own gaming giant Nintendo’s participation at the event. The official release confirms Nintendo to be a part of the Game Show. Although there is more to understand. The lineup mentions the developers would be only part of a business meeting that is supposed to be held in the Business Meeting Area. This means Nintendo wouldn’t be having a general exhibition.
Fans believe the decision was predictable as Nintendo recently had a “supposed” exhibition at Nintendo Direct. Also, hardcore fans of the giant know that maintaining fewer public appearances has helped keep the surreal hype alive. The makers are already having a golden run this year with two successful releases and a blockbuster Direct. Understandably, they wouldn’t want a lot to change. The list also had some other names which build excitement in the community. Bandai Namco, Capcom, HoyoVerse, Koei Tecmo, Konami, Level 5, Xbox, Sega / Atlus, and Square Enix. PlayStation will also mark its presence, but only in the indie area.
