Sakurai getting the best awards (if you don't count Level 5 obviously).
Didn't expect that for overseas, but rather GTA.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Unexpected sweep by the publisher that wasn't even there.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Still laughing at when they announce Smash 3DS for excellence award, nico viewers were like only 3DS? Where's Wii U version... and then after few games later. heh

 

[TheSlySoul]

Not surprising 3DS games were first with PS4 in second place.

 

[slavesnyder]

I assume is fiscal year.

Is there another?

Yo-Kai Watch, while a beast in asia is still quite unknown in the west.
I wonder if and when this will change.

 

[mrmickfran]

Sakurai is love, Sakurai is life.

 

[threelights]

Man, western awards seem original compared to this =X

But good job Sakurai, deserved.

 

[Zyrox]

My dude Sakurai getting showered with these awards. Well deserved.

Maybe the idea of playing a game where the whole point is to commit crimes in a very specifically foreign setting doesn't sit so well with certain demographics.

 

[SliceSabre]

Masahiro Sakurai da gawd.

[Deckard Chapel]

Wow - nothing for MGSV? A Hideo Kojima game not getting some kind of award at the TGS?!?

[jaina]

Kind of refreshing to see trade show awards for already released games.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Global Award – Overseas:
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Seriously Japan -_-

Was just wondering since it sold extremely well there. Better than COD for sure, and more interesting in terms of game design too.

No GR2? Japan you let me down.

 

[Alo0oy]

Seriously Japan -_-

Call of Duty sells well in Japan.

 

[SolidSnakex]

No GR2? Japan you let me down.

Well, with the exception of P5, all of those games are playable or at least in a state where the developers will play them in front of people. P5's also had gameplay shown in the dev diary and trailers. Right now GR2 is just a cinematic trailer.

 

[Rymuth]

Everything was Yokai.

Lol! Well deserved, Sakurai.
