Nintendo to Take Part in Kyoto Games Event

The Tokyo Game Show is September's big gaming event here in Japan. But, the largest game publisher around, Nintendo, presumably won't be taking part.

A TGS snub is usual fare for the Kyoto giant. But this year, Nintendo will be taking part in a big September event, separate from the Tokyo-based show.

Titled Kyoto Cross Media Experience 2009 (Kyoto CMEX 2009), the event will be held in Kyoto from September 26 through October 4. This event is a part of the larger Japan International Contents Festival (CoFesta), a series of events that also includes TGS.

Nintendo has yet to share specifics on its plans for the event. Details will be announced in a future update at the Kyoto CMEX official site.
