  1. Hello Emanuele,

     

    It is my understanding that there are only 3 big industry related conventions: for the US the E3, for Japan the Tokyo Game Show and for Europe the Gamescom in Koln. These events are mainly business-related and their main focus is for video game companies to announce their new products to the press and/or to sign distribution deals (hence the focus on each big market: US, Japan and Europe).

     

    These events are normally held for the press and industry (developers, distributors, etc.). The Gamescom is special because after its business day, it allows consumers to visit, hence its popularity. Gamescom is the only of the 3 big industry-events that eventually opens the door to ordinary folk.

     

    There are other events that focus more on playing or celebrating games rather than on the business side. In Belgium we have the Comecon, Made-in-Asia or Facts. I have heard that Lucca Comic in Italy is quite a thing.

     

    Cheers,

  2. Nurmix made a dual controller.

     

     

    I used Nurmix's dual controller to break the 1 million points barrier in Tron Deadly Discs last year during the HSC ;)

     

    This was my best ever score at almost 1.5 million points. The controller proved to be very useful to survive the waves of orange warriors that start appearing once the 1 million points barrier is breached.

     

    The "dual-end" of the controller is connected to both controller ports of the INTV 2 console as seen in the bottom of the picture.
