Tokyo Game Show 2022 ( TGS 2022), one of Japan's largest game festivals, will be held at Makuhari Messe from Thursday, September 15 to Sunday, September 18, 2022.
The show was a great success, and the next show, "Tokyo Game Show 2023," has already been announced.
Saiga NAK attended all four days of the show, and we have a lot of information that we have yet to share with you!
This time, we will report on the ASUS ROG booth, where you can experience the " ROG Phone 6 " before its official release in Japan!
「東京ゲームショウ2023」の開催が決定!来年も4日間での開催。
Gaming brand "ROG" exhibited alone!
ASUS's gaming brand "Republic of Gamers (ROG)" will be exhibiting at TGS2022 for the first time!
We had a chance to experience a number of exhibits in collaboration with IKEA, a furniture and interior design brand, and Bauhutte, a gaming furniture brand!
This is a gaming environment where IKEA products and ROG products are fused together.
From IKEA...
- FREDDE gaming desk
- MATCHSPEL gaming chair
- BEKANT storage unit on casters
- EILIF" freestanding screen
The white-based furniture is combined with an ASUS TUF Gaming M4 Air mouse and ROG Strix Edge mouse pad.
The desk is curved in the middle and protrudes at both ends to provide space for a large mouse pad.
The area for the monitor is slightly elevated, making it compact and unobtrusive for mouse and keyboard wiring.
Side panels are placed on either side of the monitor to block sunlight from the sides and reduce reflections. With the purchase of separate accessories, they could be used for device storage, accessory storage, and more!
The ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 is a gaming router that supports Wi-Fi 6.
This product, which was just released on September 2, 2022 (Friday), offers speed, strength, and of course, gaming-specific settings that can be easily configured with the dedicated ASUS Router app.
This gaming environment is a fusion of IKEA and Bauhutte products.
Bauhutte's slogan is " The secret desk base plan," and at this exhibition, visitors were able to experience the space-saving devices that have been integrated by taking advantage of the height of the space.
The official Bauhutte website proposes a desk environment that combines Bauhutte's products, and also shows 18 of the best gaming desk layouts that can be created on a budget of 100,000 yen.
ROG Phone6 Fastest Experience!
The centerpiece of the ROG booth is the ROG Phone 6 gaming smartphone.
The ROG Phone series, which has been available since 2018, has been...
- ROG Phone II
- ROG Phone II
- ROG Phone 3
- ROG Phone 5
The "ROG Phone 6" is the latest product in the series.
Although it has not yet been announced in Japan, the "ROG Phone 6" will be exhibited for the first time in Japan at TGS2022, and a booth will be set up for hands-on experience.
I held the "ROG Phone 6" in my hands right away!
The app monitors CPU/GPU/system temperatures, storage/memory usage, and more.
You can also switch modes for performance during gaming.
The rounded body of the device fits comfortably in the hand, even when held horizontally.
There are USB Type-C and a 3.5mm stereo jack on the bottom, and a second USB Type-C on the left side.
The two USB Type-C ports, which have become the standard for the "ROG Phone" series, allow you to play games in either landscape or portrait mode without the charging cord getting in the way.
ASUS has announced the "ROG Phone 6" and "ROG Phone 6 Pro" globally in July 2022, but no official announcement has been made in Japan.
The teaser site for the ROG Phone 6 series is counting down the days until September 30, 2022 (Friday) at 11:00 a.m., when the details of the ROG Phone 6 in Japan are expected to be announced.
ROG exhibited its brand independently for the first time at TGS2022.
The demand for gaming smartphones with specifications that meet the ever-increasing requirements of smartphone gaming is only going to increase in the future.
Anyway, I can't wait to get my hands on the "ROG Phone 6"!
