A preliminary list of games that are confirmed for exhibition at this year's Tokyo Game Show was announced today by event coordinators Nikkei BP and the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association. The list covers the games and booths of 93 companies that registered by July 21 for the 2006 show, which runs from September 22-24. Currently, 140 companies are signed up, accounting for a grand total of 1,709 partition spaces.
While Sony and Microsoft's next-generation platforms are represented, there's no mention of Nintendo's Wii. However, this is only a preliminary list, and several big names--including Square Enix and Sony Computer Entertainment --have not revealed their software plans. Some heavyweights have given only vague outlines of what will be at their booths. For example, Konami promises that the "latest titles" in the Metal Gear Solid and Bemani series will be shown, but the company hasn't spilled any details.
CESA also updated the schedule for the TGS Forum, which will be held on September 22 during the show's Business Day. Capcom's Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi will headline the Characters Session, joined by Takashi Yamazaki, who directed the opening movie to Capcom's Onimusha 3 and the award-winning film Always Sanchome no Yuhi. Takeuchi and Yamazaki will share the stage with Hirofumi Inagaki, producer of Namco Bandai's Mobile Suit Gundam-themed PS3 shooter.

目前公布的这一份游戏名单是即将在今年东京电玩展览上确定展出的一些游戏名字。目前大家知道此次2006年东京电玩展览是由日本NIKKEI BP公司和Computer Entertainment 协会(CESA)共同举办的,这张名单确定了自从7月21日以来包括93个游戏公司的作品,这些游戏有些将在九月22-24日的展览上和大家见面。目前登记参加此次展览的公司已经达到了140个,预计会有1709个展位。.
游戏者们所关注的一定是次时代SONY和MS公司的作品,遗憾的是这张名单没有提到任何老任WII主机的游戏消息。无论如何,这只是部分的名单,相信还有慢慢的内容补充进来,同样包括了Square Enix公司和 Sony Computer Entertainment公司也都没有宣布任何作品的计划内容。许多重量级的作品都也只是做了简单的介绍,其中包括了KONAMI公司的号称最新一辑的[合金装备]和BEMANI系列。
