Yesterday I went to the Taipei Game Show!! whirow from Singapore came to TW for the event so we met up~ I also got to meet itsneyrin for the first time in person!
Hiro and I arrived first and we tried to catch the Monster Hunter Wilds livestream on stage, but the location was so large we got lost and made it to the stage right after the stream ended 😿
We did pass a Monster Hunter partbreak challenge mini booth, but when we met up with everybody else and went back to try, it had already ended!! So ended up with no Monster Hunter chance as the Wilds beta demos were already booked fully.
We did see two Monster Hunter cosplayers though!

There were a lot of games I didn't recognize, but must be popular as they had large displays! The indie game section was very interesting. Each company had a small desk and a setup where people could try their game. I took some photos of interesting setups even if I didn't know the game.
There was this cool setup with an animated magical circle! When the hired cosplayer showed up, there weren't many people around so I got a clear photo~
The promotional staff also handed out some pins to us.
I don't know who this is or what the game is
There was an AWESOME Black Myth Wukang cosplayer just walking around! I got a photo with them while they were queuing for a big booth with a little game for patrons to play.
IDK HOW TO DO THE FINGERS HEART???? I always do the full hand-shape one
We did take a break for lunch after meeting up with Neyrin before Exo and friends showed up! Got Subway for lunch. Falafel sub is delicious!
IDK who these are or what their game is either
There were also merch booths, but I didn't see anything that I wanted.
First time I seen breasts on a chibi plush. Tifa plush also had breasts
It got more crowded in the afternoon!! I'm glad I wore a more casual outfit without many ribbons or anything that could get caught on people's bags or zips or anything!
Moogle can cling on to things!
Many items were sold out at the Capcom/Square Enix booth already. The only large figure left was... khezu...
Khezu? Ew. Gen 5 khezu? Extra ew.
The Infinity Nikki area was pretty large! I didn't bother with playing demo, but took photos~ Even though I stopped playing Nikki games after I lost my Love Nikki account (the original 2D Nikki game on mobile) I do still enjoy the aesthetics.

Overall, it was a lovely day! I forgot to go back to the Animal Crossing booth for the Isabelle meet and greet, unfortunately, but did still get photos.

At one of the indie booths, we also met one of Hiro's friends who was working with a game dev to promote their upcoming game "Love in Tiny Spaces" which is a top-down stealth game. Neyrin played the demo and it seemed relatively simple and fun for those who like sneaky sneaky games. The stickers they gave us are also cute!

I forgot to include pictures of the Cardcaptor Sakura goods I got!!! There was a tissue packet and a fan of Kero-chan!
Hiro, Neyrin, and I played the Pico Park 2 demo with five other randoms and it was CHAOS as Pico Park always is! Then Exo gifted it to me directly somehow 😹 on Steam.
We went to Sushiro for dinner afterward, though I didn't take any photos this time haha! Hungry and just eat!
Such a fun day with friends! It made me feel more excited about gaming again, so I'm really happy Hiro invited me to go!
Are there any upcoming games you are looking forward to? For me it's definitely Monster Hunter Wilds, and I'll be playing the Beta Test when it releases to stress test my PC again. I'm also looking forward to Pico Park 2 with friends in discord!
Wow! I would love to go to a game con one of these days! Even though I don't know a lot of games anymore XD I don't keep up with them like I used to.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew who the cosplayers were and for what game. I had a friend that used to know a lot of them but we've lost contact ;_;
I also gave up on Nikki after losing the account. I still would like to know how it blew up the way it did with the newest game. It was just a dress up game to begin with!!!
I'm also excited for Wilds. My husband built a new pc to play that and finally get his hands on FF7 Rebirth XD I'm hoping my desktop can handle Wilds....Maybe we'll be able to play together if we can!
