Tokyo Game Show 2022 " (TGS2022) was held from Thursday, September 15 to Sunday, September 18, 2022.
It was the first time in three years that the show was held offline, and all the booths were crowded!
There were long lines to try out major games, but many indie games were relatively empty, so if you want to play a variety of titles, I recommend you visit the indie game corner if you are coming to TGS next year!
Now, this time, the author, who visited the indie game corner, would like to introduce some of the recommended titles that struck a chord with him!
A new kind of game played on the shoulder!
We' ve all had the experience of accidentally leaning over while playing a racing game, haven't we?
Katarite, a group made up of members of the University of Electro-Communications' research lab, has created a new type of game in which the intuitive action of leaning is directly transformed into the controls!
We tried "Shoulder Ski," in which you can enjoy a realistic skiing experience by manipulating the center of gravity with your shoulders, and " Shoulder Drive," in which you control the steering wheel with your shoulders, and experienced the speed-attack driving!
Try to play on a real machine!
In "Shoulder Drive," you wear a special device and set the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons on it!
In this game, you steer by moving your left and right shoulders up and down, and I personally recommend that you play as if you are holding the steering wheel in your hand!
Don't you feel a little embarrassed to move your body in time with the game?
In this game, it is rather encouraged, so you can lean your body as hard as you can, even if you are at the TGS venue!
Drive in a groove while avoiding tars!
Oops!
My windshield is dirty!
In this situation, twist your body back and forth to use the windshield wipers!
Quickly move them and click! Squeeze! and polish it up!
The time to clear the jumps and other obstacles along the way is 3:00!
Is this really fast?
The result was 7th place!
Although I was able to get an A rank, I was not able to rank in the top seven!
The key to ranking in the rankings was to maintain acceleration, since the car slows down when it hits the taru!
If you have a chance to experience this game, please give it a try!
