The Tokyo Game Show is long over. It ended last month, which in internet time is a decade ago. The latest issue of Famitsu has fascinating TGS 2008 data for us to look at and mull over. The publication surveyed 1,000 visitors, 79 percent of TGS attendees were male, 21 percent female. Here’s the data:
• 78 percent own a DS, 69 percent a PSP, 32 percent a PS3, 43 percent a Wii and 24 percent an Xbox 360.
• 26.8 percent primarily use the DS, and 4.3 percent primarily use the Wii.
• 31 percent plan to buy the PS3 in the future — the most popular answer.
• Nearly half use their systems to play online.
The magazine also has a list of the most popular booth companions, along with quotes from those surveyed attendees:

Interviews galore! Peter Molyneux sat down and gave Kotaku just about everything there is to know about Fable II, RE5 producer Jun Takeuchi says he likes the new and improved controls for the game, and Akinori Nishiyama, producer of Sonic Unleashed, talks about the possibility of 2D, HD Sonic games. More TGS interviews after the jump!
Most games at TGS had one booth. Maybe two. Some more high-profile titles had 3-4 booths, some AAA titles like LittleBigPlanet had 10-12. Star Ocean 4, on the other hand, had around 
Tons and tons of news came out of this year’s TGS over the weekend. From the announcement of Halo 3: Recon to Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion coming to Xbox 360, Kotaku covered it all, and at the expense of sleep, no less. It’s all right here after the jump! So what do you, the commenter, think was the biggest piece of news to come out of Tokyo?

Of all the days I had to play games at TGS, and of all games I had the chance to play, why the hell did I leave it until Sunday afternoon to play Castlevania Judgement? I mean, my last memory of TGS could have been of something good, like Macross Ace Frontier or, in Konami’s case, 
We close out our TGS booth tours with SNK’s. Thanks for stickin’ around. It was both larger and more impressive than last year’s mild effort, thanks in most part to the presence of an row of eight playable King of Fighters XII arcade cabinets. Oh, and two 60” LCD’s showcasing that action, helping make it easily the most visually impressive game of the show. The rest of the stuff in their booth (ie anything not King of Fighters) was standard SNK fare: boobs, more boobs and mouse pads with boobs on them.
[Gallery fixed, pics now up] The best thing about Level 5’s booth wasn’t a game. Wasn’t even a game trailer. It was the box for the company’s upcoming collaboration with animation house Studio Ghibli, Ninokuni. The entirety of the final retail package was on display, including glorious box art and ridiculously extravagant spell book (which you’ll actually need to use whike playing).
