Tokyo Game Show 2019 Highlights

Just two days after a typhoon ripped through the area, game developers, distributors, gamers, and otaku alike filed into the Makuhari Messe Convention Center just outside of Tokyo, to attend the Tokyo Game Show 2019. While there were slightly fewer companies attending this year, TGS 2019 did see a new record of 2,417 booths (2,338 last year) which means plenty of games to try, and things to see.

The largest promotional event was Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Remake, being shown-off at both the Sony PlayStation and Square Enix booth. The original Final Fantasy VII was released on the PlayStation One in 1997, and is arguable one of the most beloved titles in the series. Visitors at the Sony booth could have their picture taken while wielding Cloud Strife’s massive sword.

The other big title this year was Capcom’s Monster Hunter World: Iceborne expansion, which is actually a game in itself than simply an expansion. While Sony had playable demos of the game, the Capcom booth displayed life-sized monsters. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne was released last week.

This year, SEGA combined their booth with their subsidiary Atlas, promoting the upcoming Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Persona 5 Royal, both for the PS4, as well as the Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games for the Nintendo Switch. Other titles included the Hatsune Miku: Project Diva MegaMix for the Switch, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim for the PS4, as well as games in their SEGA Partners division including Granblue Fantasy: Versus, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Shenmue III, and Star Wars Jedi: The Fallen Order.

Konami continues to make its comeback with such upcoming titles as Contra: Rogue Corps, and Super Bomberman R. Though most of their efforts are being put into the mobile gaming market, with such playable games as Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, Dance Dance Revolution, and Beat Mania II DX.

Due to the lack of room, this year saw a lot less arcade-targeted VR titles, and more home oriented ones, including the dancing game Space Channel 5, and a meteor shooting game by students at Kobe Denshi College. Also, with over 4 million units sold, Sony is far from giving up on their PlayStation VR, with such playable games as Marvel’s Iron Man VR, Concrete Genie, and a new Hatsune Miku VR game.

One of the cooler VR accessories I saw were the Cybershoes by a Kickstarter group. Resembling beach sandals, you strap them to your feet or shoes, sit in a chair, and simulate walking or running while playing your favorite VR title. Simple but effective.

Tokyo Game Show 2019

With all those extra booths this year, the Indie game area was packed tight with playable titles. Some that I played included Magical Girl’s Chronicle: Magusphere, which combined the cuteness of magical girls with the violence of blowing up tanks and enemies with guns and bazookas. And Liberated by Polish company Walkabout, where you literally play through the panels of a graphic novel. Both games will be out on the PS4 next year.

Tokyo Game Show 2019

Overall, there were no big surprises this year at the Tokyo Game Show 2019, but still had plenty to offer and gave us a peak at what’s to come.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011, known in Japanese as World Soccer Winning Eleven 2011, is a soccer/football game and the tenth in the Pro Evolution series which began on the PlayStation One. The game includes the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League, and for the first time, the UEFA Super Cup and CONMEBOL's Copa Libertardores. The game has 79 national teams in total, with Jon Champion and Jim Beglin providing the English commentary.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 received mainly positive reviews with an average score of 78%, praised for its tactics and strategy in gameplay, as well as for being an overall improvement than its predecessors, but criticized by some for its lack in some important football licenses.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 was first released in October 2010, and includes one online trophy. Unfortunately, the servers were shut down on January 29, 2013, which means the online trophy cannot be unlocked. As a result, the platinum for this game has become Not Obtainable.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 includes one online trophy. Unfortunately, the servers were closed on January 29, 2013, which means that single online trophy, and therefore the platinum, has become Not Obtainable. However, there are still 26 offline trophies that can be unlocked, so if you're interested, then read on.

Since the game doesn't do it for you, we recommend keeping track of which stadiums you played in during your playthroughs on each mode. This way, you can easily hop into any stadiums you're missing during the mopping-up stage for the World Traveler trophy.

The trophies can be earned in any order you wish, though we recommend starting with Champions League, simply because completion only takes a couple hours. Doing so will unlock the First Glory, Made The Knockout Phase, and European Champions trophies, as well as possibly a few others.

Then, you can head over to Copa Santander Libertadores, which is the same tournament as the one you just completed, except playing in Latin America. Finishing this will unlock the Kings Of Latin America, as well as a few other possible ones.

Next, head into the Master League. Here, you can play the first season and unlock a good portion of the trophies. The following nine seasons required for finishing the Master League can be simulated. You'll also want one of those seasons to be undefeated, in order to obtain The Invincibles trophy. Be sure to check out the Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 trophy guide links under our Links tab if you're having trouble with this.

Then, move on to Become a Legend, where you control a player and accept contract offers. Here, you will unlock The Debutant, International Cup Debut, International Cup MVP, The Super Hero, and The Journeyman trophies.

Finally, it's time to mop-up any other trophies you may still be missing. This may include playing in any stadiums you haven't yet visited for the World Traveler trophy, and most likely the challenging Dead-ball Expert. Be sure to check the Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're missing and their requirements.

Pro Evolution 2010

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010, known in Japanese as World Soccer Winning Eleven 2010, is a soccer/football game and the ninth in the Pro Evolution series which began on the PlayStation One. The game includes the UEFA Champions League, and for the first time, the UEFA Europa League. There are 258 squads in total, with 139 being officially licensed, with 55 teams. New features include improved visuals, animations, and online play, and 360-degree control. Jon Champion and Mark Lawrenson provide commentary on the English version.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 received positive reviews, with an average score of 76%. The game was praised mainly for its graphics and overall fun appeal, though considered less superior to EA's FIFA series.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 was first released in early November, 2009, and includes 2 online trophies. Unfortunately, the servers were shut down on January 31, 2012, which means those two online trophies cannot be unlocked. As a result, the Platinum for this game has become Not Obtainable.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 includes two online trophies: Winning Streak(Online) and High Win Ratio(Online). Unfortunately, the servers were closed on January 31, 2012, which means these two trophies - as well as the Platinum - are now Not Obtainable. However, the game still includes 26 offline trophies that can be earned, so if you're interested, then read on.

If you like, you can start with the UEFA Champions League. Work towards winning 10 matches in a row for the Winning Streak trophy. Along the way, there are a number of bronze trophies you can unlock as well, such as for scoring the winning goal in extra time for Last-Minute Win, and simply winning a game for First Glory.

Once you've unlocked all the UEFA Champions League related trophies, you can head into Master League. This is where you'll spend the majority of your time, as you'll need to play for 10 seasons for the 10 Years Of Service trophy. This will be your ultimate goal here, though there are a number of Master League related trophies you can unlock along the way.

After that, you can start on Become a Legend mode. This will also take a bit of time, as you need to level up a complete rookie player and team. For the Wanderer trophy, you'll need to play for 10 clubs with four different teams from each country.

With that completed, if there happen to be any trophies you missed along the way, this is the time to mop them up. Check out the Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 trophy guide links under our Links tab for details on what trophies you may still be missing and how to obtain them.

And unfortunately, with the servers down, this is as far as you can go.

Dance Dance Revolution Trophy Guide

Dance Dance Revolution Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A dance rhythm game that uses the PlayStation Move controller, and the first in the series to be ported onto the PlayStation 3. The game might be challenging to beginners of the series, though not to hard for experts.

Dance Dance Revolution

Dance Dance Revolution is the first DDR title to be ported onto the PlayStation 3. It combines both the controller mat and PlayStation Move, so players make use of both hands and feet in rhythm to the music and on-screen instructions.

The game includes 50 songs, which include both popular Western tracks as well as Konami's original titles. Download packs are also available on the PSN to expand your collection. The game also includes a new feature to the DDR series, such as Chain Arrow which grants a score bonus for maintaining a combo through sections of arrows, and Groove Trigger which allows players to cut their lifebar by 50% to increase their points.

Dance Dance Revolution received a wide range of reviews, from negative to positive, with an average score of 62%. Critics accused the scoring system as being "broken," and forcing experienced players to start on easy levels, while positive reviewers noted the sharp visuals and overall great presentation of the game.

Like any music rhythm game, from Rock Band to Hatsune Miku, Dance Dance Revolution's difficulty for the Platinum entirely depends on your skills. If you're a DDR master, then this game could be brought down to a 2-star. If this is your first time and you tend to lack rhythm, Dance Dance Revolution could be brought up to a 4-star. Some of the Club Mode trophies, such as getting a 1000 combo, can be very challenging and frustrating to the newbies.

NOTE: You will need a PlayStation Move controller for the Platinum.

This game doesn't require much of a roadmap, but there are a few easier trophies you can get out of the way in the beginning. Start on Training Mode and play through, which will earn you Welcome To DDR! and Playing The Real Thing.

Next, you can head into Dance Off and collect the two easier trophies here: Dance Party and White-Hot Dance Battle.

Afterwards, you'll be spending the majority of your time in Club Mode. There are a number of miscellaneous trophies here to be earned, some of which you'll acquire naturally as you progress through the songs. Check out the Dance Dance Revolution trophy guide links under our Links tab for further details.

Have fun!
