Support NeoGAF

[jbug617]

Even though the console isn't coming out in Asia in 2014, Major Nelson confirms they will be at TGS. I wonder if they opened up that wallet again for Japan support or will this be the debut of Microsoft Studios Osaka.

@sidshuman @CheapyD @michaelpachter Anytime David! See you at TGS.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Lost Odyssey 2 please.

 

[shinobi602]

Oh snap.

 

[statham]

first post.

 

[mr_nothin]

Probably going to announce a Fall 2014 date there

 

[Kyoufu]

Batsu Ichi is going to be mocked the whole time. I'm surprised they're turning up.

 

[ebullientprism]

Hey guys, look at all these games you wont be playing.

 

[Phazon]

Why?

Japan wasn't in that Xbox One supported countries-list?

I guess it must be for the 360 then?

 

[BlackJace]

This makes no sense after hearing its not launching in Japan initially.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

But the Xbone won't be available in Japan at launch...

 

[Face it Tiger..]

:v

 

[BlazingDarkness]

They'll probably get exclusive dibs of the new FFXV trailer in their conference.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Why?

Japan wasn't in that Xbox One supported countries-list?

At Launch dude.

 

[BatDan]

Hey guys, look at all these games you wont be playing.

Or you'll be playing on your Playstation 4, which will come out a year before our console does. We am smrt.

 

[derFeef]

Oh snap.

This.

 

[LiK]

Need to pimp it for its late-2014 debut

 

[darkside31337]

Honestly he could just be there to watch?

It'd be really crazy if they're announcing stuff there that nobody in Japan will actually get to play until late 2014 at least.

 

[cafemomo]

super kawaii halo jrpg incomming.

That or Hatsune Miku kinect.

 

[jtb]

I liked a lot of the 360's Japanese games they threw money at, but let's be real—those games didn't do shit for the 360, in Japan or elsewhere.

 

[Certinty]

Watch them just show more of Lightning Returns and some other 360 stuff.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Fortunately we have a product for people in Asia, it's called xbox 360.

 

[sublimit]

Well good luck to them.

 

[Sweenix]

go away microsoft! i want idolm@ster on my PS4!! D:

 

[Heretic]

Lost Odyssey 2 please.

This please!

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Here come the Japanese "everything but Playstation" moneyhats.

 

[KillerMan91]

Lost Odyssey 2 please.

This would really test my resolve regarding of buying XBone.

 

[JoshHood]

This doesn't mean there will be any kind of press conference, just that reps will be there, which makes sense.

 

[neptunes]

Late 2014? What about mid? that would be the biggest Japanese trade show before then.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Maybe they'll do a surprise announcement that they will launch in Japan as well, this year.

That would be sure to make the audience go wild.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

LOL

 

[Admiral Bone to Pick]

Lost Odyssey 2 please.

Let's not ruin things by releasing a sequel to a mediocre game no one cared about.

 

[KillerTravis]

Guess those Cave shooters aren't going away anytime soon.

 

[nasos_333]

Lost Odyssey 2 please.

That would instantly transform Xbox one from my most indifferent system ever to an instant buy at launch

Lets hope it happens

 

[Camp Lo]

Lost Odyssey 2 please.

Oh God, if this happens, MS will have forced my hand.

 

[harSon]

Speak for yourself

 

[FlyingTeacup]

This would really test my resolve regarding of buying XBone.

same here, if they announce blue dragon 2, I'm sold.

Let's not ruin things by releasing a sequel to a mediocre game no one cared about.

i see, taken fan.

 

[Syphon Filter]

why wouldn't he be there especially with new systems.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

They'll probably reveal that there'll be a Japanese launch early/mid 2014 (before the rest of Asia)

Plus they'll moneyhat a few smaller exclusives (in the vein of D4) and have Capcom/Square Enix and others on stage with new trailers (Deep Down/ FFXV) that won't be shown at Sony's conference.

Also they'll debut whatever their Osaka studio is working on.

Very small chance they'll reveal a sequel to Lost Odyssey/Blue Dragon.

 

[Spongebob]

They aren't even releasing the Xbone in Japan until at least late 2014, lol.

 

[dragonelite]

This is a release year an extra show means more media attention and hopefully a extra chance for microsoft to fix this pr shit or change their policies.

 

[harSon]

Guess those Cave shooters aren't going away anytime soon.

Didn't Cave close its doors?

 

[Phire Phox]

Announce Shenmue 3 Xbone exclusive. If that were to happen....The GAF meltdown would be epic

 

[GeoramA]

Third time's the charm?

 

[JABEE]

why wouldn't he be there especially with new systems.

Microsoft and Nintendo almost never show up at official TGS.

I'm pretty sure Capcom and Square-Enix would prefer to promote their games on the platform that will actually make them money in their own country.

FFXV and KH3 will probably not even be released for Xbone in Japan.

 

[Syphon Filter]

They aren't even releasing the Xbone in Japan until at least late 2014, lol.

where did you hear about late 2014?

 

[GoofsterStud]

It's not like only Japan awaits TGS news with baited breath.

 

[Phire Phox]

They'll probably reveal that there'll be a Japanese launch early/mid 2014 (before the rest of Asia)

That makes the most sense. I can't imagine MS waiting a year after the US/EU release to launch it in Japan.

 

[Gorillaz]

hmmm....they def have something planned...metal gear exclusive stuff? FF stuff? Try to show kingdom hearts exclusive trailer? New IP?

Japanese moneyhatting?

 

[PlanetSmasher]

This. Chances are, the Xbone version of XV won't even start development until after the PS4 version is finished and released in Japan.
