Last week we brought you news that this month will see an Xbox event in Tokyo that will be, in the words of Yoshihiro Maruyama, ‘a product unveiling on the scale of E3’. Well, the date has been announced, and this exciting event is going to take place on July 25 at 1:30pm, or just as SPOnG is getting up and out of its bed. Japanese gamers have remained staunchly indifferent to the first Xbox throughout its lifespan, and it’s apparent that strong support in Japan is a key part of Microsoft’s mission for world domination. You can expect to see more Mistwalker footage, but if Microsoft really wants to whet appetites in Japan, it’ll have to really pull out the big guns. What could it have up its sleeve?
