New studio of GREE released a beautiful art mobile game "el"

GREE established new game studio Wright Flyer Studios which developed a games for smartphones technically in Tokyo. And they released a beautiful art game for free.







el is horizontal scrolling action game of the designs such as the shadow picture. The boy who woke in a prison has an adventure in various places and meets various people with the umbrella which can fly the sky.





The boy collects the feathers which shine while avoiding obstacles. This game is simple, so we can enjoy fantastic artwork enough.


However, we notice that this is tragedy whenever we advance stages. Well, the theme of the story of this game is war.

This is a really cool game. However, to our regret, GREE releases this only in Japan now. I think that they should release this in the global region.

You can watch Hatsune Miku's pantie with Oculus Rift and a sensor

Oculus Rift is very popular among Japanese. The booth which was the most popular in Tokyo Game Show 2014 was Oculus VR, though they decided exhibition in a hurry. And how to use Oculus Rift of Japanese people is slightly different from other countries. I wrote about Oculus Rift developers in Japan before.

Furthermore, the new strange VR content was developed in Japan. Certain developer developed the VR contents that we can lift a Hatsune Miku's skirt and watch a pantie.

Akihiro, the developer whom Oculus Rift DK2 just reached at hand developed software using it at once. Then, he hit on a good idea. He devised the system which lift a Hatsume Miku's skirt by breathing on a microphone with a sensor. The result is this.







Of course he makes full use of performance of Oculus Rift and can watch it slowly and carefully. Go hentai go!

New sale technique of virtual goods in Japan: game items are attached when you buy real curry

Another pleasure of Tokyo Game Show is a food area. There have many gourmet booths and you can enjoy various local foods in Japan.


In addition, in a recent tendency, the foods cooperating with games increase.

The shops make menus about game titles and sell these to game fans. It is right a way of enjoying only in Tokyo Game Show.

 This is curry of Japanese MMO for smartphones LogresAiming of the online game / mobile game developer cooperated with the go-go curry of a famous curry shop chain, and sold the curry which assumed their mobile games a motif(Because a print sheet is rice paper , we can eat this).

One curry is 1,000 yen(About 9USD). You may think it's so expensive. However, virtual goods of three kinds of mobile games are attached to it. Because the cash value of virtual goods is approximately 2,000 yen, as a result, it is reasonable. Besides, the curry is delicious! :) This is the means that is good to get new fans of game titles.

Is booth babes sexism? Suck! Tokyo Game Show has hot booth boys

Are booth babes in the trade show discrimination against women? I think that it is SUCK whenever I watch this opinion. The reason why you think that booth babes are discrimination against women is that there is only "babes". If there are booth "boys"? It is right gender equality.

Voltage is one of the Japanese main mobile game developers and release many romance sim for women. They exhibited Tokyo Game Show 2014 secondary to last year.

They made their booth huger this year and it was completely optimized for women.









Many women came here and it became the topic, and even men visited and became prosperous very well.

The cause of the topic is them - hot and cute booth boys!










Voltage appointed booth boys last year, but increased them more this year(There were even models from foreign country). They expressed the appearance of romance sim titles in each booth and Visitors were able to really experience the atmosphere of the games. They treated visitors more than 5,000 in four days. This expresses demand of booth boys.

In addition, Sunsoft(They release mobile romance sims for women, too) exhibited an interesting booth, too.


They are not boys, cool "girls" dressed as boys. Sunsoft cooperated with male attire cafe Re.sty and appointed them as booth "boys". They were popular from the both sides of men and women, and naturally it became the topic.

Booth babes, booth boys, cool girls dressed as boys, and cute boys dressed as girls... It is a true gender equality that there are all of them.

D3 PUBLISHER became the topic at Tokyo Game Show 2014 by interesting booth

Large-scale showy booths, sexy booth babes and cute character suits are institution of Tokyo Game Show. In particular, the designs of the booths are very worth seeing. Japanese game company D3 PUBLISHER became the topic by the design of an interesting booth this time.

What a COOL booth! I think that the guy who hit on this must be a genius.

This is a demo kiosk of action game for PS4 OneeChanbara Z2 CHAOS, the latest Oneechanbara title(This is R18 game. There is an age confirmation message in the top page in Japanese). Players insert their heads into a gigantic pair of breasts to play this game.



This is the sexy & violence game that beautiful women in a sexy bikini kill zombies with Katana. Because it has sexual expression and cruel expression, it receive the severest censorship in the Japanese game industry. In Tokyo Game Show, such the games must hide play screens.

D3 PUBLISHER rather utilized this regulation. The play screens were surely hidden, and they were able to get effectiveness of advertising more than it at time when they showed play screens. Do regulation and the censorship make game industry boring? No! We can overcome them by cool ideas.
