Game Makers Join Comic Market at Corporate Dealers Area

Game Makers Join Comic Market at Corporate Dealers Area
Today is Comike.
Comic Market 79 scheduled from Dec 29 to 31 at TOKYO BIG SIGHT. Comic by individuals and circles are noticeable, and there is a Corporate Dealers Area too.
Manga publisher and anime company are joining the Corporate Dealers Area. And some game companies too.
Really?
For example, you can find Konami there.
THAT Konami!?
Why saying THAT...
Konami is thought to be an enemy to doujinshi. Konami had sued a doujin anime of Tokimeki Memorial. Well, only anime is targeted so manga have no big deal.
And THAT Konami is now joining Comike.
SEGA have joined recently with HATSUNE MIKU goods. They had joined with SAKURA WARS in the past, but in those days there is a bad image for game company to participate in Comike so SEGA gave up for a long time. But these few years they came back..
But there would be more people going to Comike if such big companies join. Quite a mess
Well, Konami just make an early launch of goods that will be sold at their online shop Konami Style. The goods is not limited edition. You can buy those goods after Comike at Konami Style. Mainly "Love Plus" and "Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side".
I must buy that.
Nanako-san...
Also, you can buy Comike goods online at CharaAni.com. Don't need to worry if you miss some goods.
But going to Comike is the most secure way to get the goods.
Well, that's true.
I am heading to Comike then.
You are going huh.
Of course!

Quite a lot.
Which one are you interested with?
As for 3D Beauty Clock...
Maniac...
They have not invite me as model. What the hell is going on?
Why should they invite you...
Well, "nintendogs + cats" is my favorite. Mii Plaza is interesting too. Others are sequel of series with 3D as a new feature only. The 2 titles can be consider as sequel too but they may use many functions of 3DS so worth notice.
Functions of 3DS?
N3DS has a better data connection. Maybe the 2 games may use that function in gameplay.
Nintendo is the most noticeable huh.
Only Nintendo, especially for the early stage. 2 years later, when the console enter its 2nd cycle, 3rd parties will have contribution. Until that games will only be 3D version of old stuff. The Big N would make games using more 3DS function so let's see if that is interesting or not.
Let's look forward to the pre-order.
By the way, the start of pre-order on Dec 26 overseas, how is it going on?
Who knows...
