TGS 2011 going ahead as planned

Tokyo Game Show organiser CESA has confirmed that the annual Japanese videogames shindig will take place this year as planned.

The event will run through September 15 – 18 at the Makuhari Messe convention centre, ending speculation that this year’s show may be downsized as a result of the horrific earthquake and tsunami in Japan last month.

As reported by Andriasang, the venue for the event suffered minor damage as a result of the natural disasters, and is currently undergoing repairs.

In addition, CESA confirmed that it will be hosting charity auctions and other fund raising initiatives to facilitate the on-going relief effort in the country.
