Tokyo Game Show is the largest annual gaming convention in Asia. In 2013 it attracted a record number of exhibitions by 352 organizations from 33 countries, and had an estimated 200,000 visitors over four days. As expected, there were some super cool toys, some weird costumes and some very excited gamers. These photos, from day one (business day), are just a glimpse of the madness of the Tokyo Game Show.
