Our usual Tokyo Game Show procedure involves a quick sprint from any interesting conference on the morning of Day One (which has always been a day reserved for industry people) to the main show floor, where we then spend the next six hours scurrying from booth to booth like game-loving rabbits in springtime. Day Two is when we photograph all the pretty girls at the show, because there's no way we're waiting with the public to play the same games again, while Day Three is spent in a passing state of moral turmoil -- all those innocent girls just loved being photographed by us, really, didn't they?

Anyway, today Japan's Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (aka CESA, whom all should hail) has announced the addition of an extra Business Day. The extra press day is going to make our job a whole lot easier this September: it means we'll have Thursday 20 and Friday 21 allotted for playing games, and we can still spend Saturday and Sunday in pursuit of mannequin smiles. Perfect. (Well, almost perfect -- now we just need Nintendo to turn up.)
