I went to Hyper Japan today!! I'll give a brief breakdown of all the cool things.
Music.
It started alright. I don't know any of the live performances but I enjoyed them. The J-Rap lady's called Charisma (I think) were absolutely amazing. When it started I was upstarirs and thought wow! I was buying my drink but I rushed down to see close-up.
Games (aka Nintendo booth)
Only tried FE:Fates and DQ7 but not longer than 5 mins. It was just a demo. The Pokken competition on the big screen was HYPE! People won prizes for so many things (I didn't but ah well) like a Ninty goodie bag and hats and mugs and stuff.
They also had ALL the amiibo released in a glass thingy, including the 5 stages of the Wolf Link amiibo and also...... BREATH OF THE WILD amiibo!!! I'm soooooo getting that Archer Link.
Food
Some of those sweets were horrible like the rice cake but it was a fantastic experience nonetheless.
I loved that Bubble Tea with fruits and actuall gel balls. Tokyo Streetfood is so amazing. Had some salad and spicy salmon plus a fried salmon burger bun thingy.
Cosplay
Mostly from stuff I have no idea what it was but there were:
- Callie
- Inklings
- Cloud
- 3 Links
- Zelda
- Attack on Titan characters x5 or so.
- Kirito
Other Stuff
Ranged from robotic arms to tea to manga to clothes to more clothes to food hats to more merchandise of all sorts and it was just everything one could one.
Verdict:
5x better than when I went last 2 years ago, the upgraded venue must have helped.
11/10 would go all Month.
