Tokyo Game Show 2023 " (TGS2023), one of the largest game festivals in Japan, was held in September 2023. The Korea Creative Content Agency (KCAP) has announced that "KOREA PAVILION"" will be held at TGS2023, the largest TGS event to date.
"KOREA PAVILION" report!
We came to Hall 7 where "KOREA PAVILION" was held. In the "KOREA PAVILION" area, a large monitor in the front of the hall showed images of the titles exhibited by various manufacturers.
In the "KOREA PAVILION" area, a total of 25 companies from PC, consoles, mobile games, AR/VR, etc. were exhibiting.
"Little Witch in the Woods"
When I visited KOREA PAVILION, I saw "Little Witch in the Woods" on the main monitor. quot;SUNNY SIDE UP" which produced "Little Witch in the Woods".
Little Witch in the Woods" is the story of the main character Ellie, a witch. The game allows players to experience the life of a witch by controlling Ellie, becoming an apprentice witch, exploring the woods, and attending a school. In the story, Ellie puts into practice what she learns at the witch school and helps the villagers to improve their lives, while aiming to become a full-fledged witch.
Although the game is drawn in pixel art, the sounds and visuals are lovely and made me want to relax and forget about the time spent playing. The game is a great experience for people of all ages, as you can record the animals and plants you find, ride a broom like a witch, and move around the map like a witch.
The game is already available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam, and PC. If you are interested in this game, check out the Steam store.
SANABI
Wonder Potion, the developer of SANABI, was also exhibiting. SANABI is an exhilarating and stylish game. The player controls a legendary veteran soldier who uses his unique prosthetic hand to leap over cliffs and skyscrapers, dodge bullets and traps, and defeat the enemies that stand in his way. The author was also fascinated by the game's distinctive action and dynamic movement, as well as its distinctive art and background settings. It is no wonder that the game has received high praise from users even before its release.
SANABI is now in Early Access on Steam and will be released on Steam and Nintendo Switch in November 2023. For more information on SANABI, check out the official website.
TGS2023 had the largest number of overseas exhibitors ever.
One of the things the author felt at this year's TGS2023 was the large number of exhibitors from overseas manufacturers and overseas visitors. It was very impressive to see a large number of exhibitors and customers from Korea, Asia, Europe, Scandinavia, North America, as well as Central and South America, and many other countries, from individuals to companies. Among them, Chinese and Korean manufacturers stood out at this event.
When I looked at the games, I saw many games that were not only graphically compelling but also nostalgic and created with a great deal of passion. Many of the games were ambitious and filled with things that I really liked and that I found interesting, and because they were so versatile, they were very varied and fun to look at. There were many 2D games, 3D action games, pop games, hard games, and many more. We look forward to seeing more exhibits from overseas manufacturers at TGS2024, which is scheduled to be held next year.
