A smattering of additional game videos from the Tokyo Game Show, culled together from what you wanted to see added to our best of list.
Videos are embedded after the jump.
Elebits trailer -- stylish cartoon graphics, innovative gameplay, snappy music. It's like the Pikmin have returned, and this time for our souls.
Heroes trailer -- Ghost in the Shell meets The Matrix meets Lords of Dogtown in a dark video game headed for the Wii. If you can get past the bad voice acting, "Hear the lullaby? Rest in peace, baby," this looks impressive.
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops -- this game is set as a sequel immediately after the events of MGS3. Impressive graphics, online play and the cinematic storyline really puts the PlayStation in PSP. Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKE!
Bleach gameplay -- Wii men with big swords fighting each other. This is what playing games with the Wii-mote should be all about.
Got any more you loved from the show? Drop us a line and let us know.

Wow, I didn't think it was possible but Travis Touchdown's voice is even worse. And the music is weaker when compared to video that was shown on the Wii Fanboy not too long ago.
Elebits looks intriguing but what's the point of it?

Elebits looks slightly fun.
Heroes looks dumb as hell.
MGS is always awesome. + more big boss stuff is good.
Bleach looks fun, but... unfortunately, region fwii = X.

The ad for Bleach is crappy, but at least the guys flailing their arms are more about the game than mugging for the camera, like the ad for Red Steel. The ad would have been better if one of the kids hit the other kid in the face. That's what would probably happen in real life, anyway.

Holy crap on a stick, MGS portable ops looks amazing. I am *loving* the animated manga-style cutscenes. Is that how the MGS digital graphic novel was?
...Damn it, I want a PSP now...
Bleach also looks pretty good. Lets just hope they dont divide each fight into at least 5 battles... (The pacing in Bleach freaking sucks)

Elebits looked pretty simple and fun, I just don't think I would be playing it... Bit too colorful for me ;) Well, I think it's targeted for other kind of audience.
Heroes looked awesome, but as a game, don't know. That voice-acting and dialog just made me cry.
You just got to love MGS. Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!
I'm waiting pretty much from the Bleach game. It looked like fun. A must-have for me!

I'm guessing those were english phrases spoken by Japanese voiceactors, I wouldn't think they'd screw up that badly given how decent the game looks.

Woooooo! The catchy little song in the background in Elebits makes me want to buy the game RIGHT NOW!

Campbell! Roy Campbell!
Hot diggity damn, if he isn't one of my favorite characters!
Snake...? SNAKE?! SNNAAAAAAKE!!!

That Bleach game looked very interesting, yet the controls seem flawed since your character is facing sideways. I guess a downward motion constitutes as a downward motion as your character yet he's facing a different direction. I like the classic 2d arcade style to it, I hope Bleach gets popular on Adult Swim so this game can come to the NTSC players.

Heroes looks F'ed up....just the way I like my games.
