Folks like me that have been gaming for 25 years inevitably grew up on Japanese exports. All these years later, the NES – a Japanese product -- is still my favorite console of all-time, Mega Man 3 – from a Japanese developer -- is still my favorite game of all-time, and nothing – and I mean nothing – can replicate the love and appreciation I hold for series like Castlevania, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Ninja Gaiden.
I’ve been an IGN editor for over six years, but it’s only this year that I was finally sent to Japan to cover Tokyo Game Show. As a lifelong appreciator of the many, many games Japanese developers have delivered to the west – from Mario to Zelda to Metal Gear – I knew that I had to find the time to get a taste of the Japanese old-school scene. With my time at TGS 13 now behind me, today was that day.
