The 1997 Spring Tokyo Game Show took place on April 5 and April 6, 1997, at the Big Sight. This time, the game show took up three sections.

The next Game Show will take place in September.


I only went on Saturday. It was VERY crowded, even in the pouring rain. (I went with Kevin, Joe, Mats, and Chris.)

My day went as follows:

9:30 arrived at Big Sight (VERY crowded)
11:15 (?) finally got into the game show
11:30-12:00 went to Jaleco booth, to wait for Suuchiipai event
Konami booth was next to it, but it was way too crowded to enter. they passed out tickets for the Suuchiipai event, but it was too crowded, so I just took a spot in the first row outside of the roped area.
12:00-12:50 Jaleco booth, for the Suuchiipai/Game Tengoku event [no picutes allowed]
Kanai Mika, Takahashi Miki, Nishihara Kumiko
at the end of the event, there was a janken tournament, and I won! (a poster of Game Tengoku)
12:50-13:00 Compile booth, some event with Yanase Natsumi
it ended around 13:00 (just had time to take some picutes)
13:00-13:15 wandered around, looking and taking picutes
13:15-16:15 Imagineer booth, Iina event [picutes allowed]
Maeda Ai, Toyoshima Machiko, Maeda Konomi, Maeda Chiaki
initially I was standing outside of the roped area, but a couple guys left from the inside, so one of the Imagineer people let me inside. (^_^;)
got to shake everyone's hand at the end of the event!
16:15-17:15 went around taking picutes
