The show was very well attended by game fans. The booths for game video streaming, VR (Virtual Reality) and indie game titles in particular gathered highest interest out of visitors and press from Japan as well as overseas.
Besides, Business meetings were held proactively. Total of
1,011 corporations (875 in the last year) registered in the business matching system; “Asia Business Gateway” and 606 matches
