TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II is Happening Today!
Today, the ASCII-sponsored event "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II" is currently underway in Akihabara!
This is the 9th installment of an event where you can get hands-on with the latest gaming gadgets and even consult with our editorial staff.
Gaming keyboards, mice, steering wheel controllers, arcade controllers, and even left-hand devices! All the gadgets you'll want to buy this autumn are here in full force!
Honestly, this event is amazing. If I may say so myself, I don't think there are many places where you can try out gadgets across so many genres, with such a wide range of models, all at once.
If such places exist, they might be industry-specific exhibitions held at large convention centers or flagship stores of electronics retailers. But to be able to try them all at once with this density, it truly feels like there's nothing else like it anywhere in Japan.
Upon entry, you can try your luck at the "Gadget Dream Garapon" where you might win luxurious prizes!
Not only can you try them out, but there's also a chance to "get" them!
First up is the "Gadget Dream Garapon," which you can try for free upon entry. This corner offers prizes based on the color of the ball you draw, and sometimes, you can even win luxurious gadgets!
Don't you usually have the impression that you rarely win anything in these kinds of lottery-style games? Well, at ASCII's event, people win all the time! You frequently hear "Big win! Congratulations!" It makes us worry if we'll run out of prizes because there are so many winners.
There's also a trial corner for steering wheel controllers combined with racing games.
And another opportunity is the rock-paper-scissors tournament held at the mini-stage within the venue. Special gifts are also prepared for those who emerge victorious.
If you love gadgets, there's nothing to lose by participating. In fact, there's only gain!
Today, the weather is mild with refreshing autumn clear skies, making it a perfect day for an outing. To all gadget lovers, when you come to Akihabara, you simply must stop by "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II"!
