The "Taipei Game Show 2025" was held in Taipei, Taiwan, from Thursday, January 23 to Sunday, January 26, 2025.
As the first major game show of 2025, many new games scheduled for release in early 2025 were on display.
This report covers the Justdan booth, which publishes titles for Capcom and Konami!

With "Monster Hunter Wilds," a highly anticipated title less than a month away from release, and the opportunity to try out Mai Shiranui, an additional character for "Street Fighter 6," the booth constantly had long lines!
"Monster Hunter Wilds" was, as expected, very popular!

Mai Shiranui in "Street Fighter 6" Draws Attention
Various special events for different titles were held daily at the Justdan booth's special stage.
Among them, "Street Fighter 6" attracted particular attention.
Visitors actually got to try out Mai Shiranui before her release at the Justdan booth!
Furthermore, for the "Street Fighter 6" special event, Producer Matsumoto, Director Nakayama, and pro esports players ET and GamerBee appeared on stage.
Mai Shiranui was fully showcased during the exhibition matches with attendees.

Attendees played against developers and pro gamers!
One attendee brought a Razer Kitsune Akuma model, but unfortunately, due to connection issues, it couldn't be used and was displayed instead.
The rare live demonstration of Mai Shiranui in action drew such a crowd that it was impossible to move in front of the stage.
Not only could attendees play against the development staff and pro gamers, but they also received giveaways like jackets with logos and signed tapestries.
How enviable!
That concludes the Justdan booth report!
