What with the heat and humidity, Japan isn’t the most desirable destination this time of year. And that goes doubly so for attendees of the Tokyo Game Show, all 200,000-plus of them, crammed like ants into the Makuhari Messe convention center. Trust us, you don’t want that.

However, you can still get a sense of what’s on display at TGS right here, as we’ve collected our best photos from this year show. Enjoy!

Are image galleries your thing? Maybe have a look at our cosplay galleries from the Penny Arcade Expo and Comic-Con 2012.
