It's about 15 minutes till showtime. Where are you getting your news from?
Personally, I'm watching the folks over at Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/08/joystiq-live-from-microsofts-tgs-2008-press-conference/).
Thread temp stickied.

Can we get a temporary sticky for the 3 showings? Let us report the news as it comes and allow us to have the definitive threads. I know that No More Heroes 2 has been announced as well as a Yakuza 3 trailer has been shown.

You should definitely get No More Heroes. You could probably buy it inexpensively now that the game's been out for a few months.
I just can't believe Suda was able to make another NMH, although, after reading this post on Wii Fanboy (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/10/08/tgs08-no-more-heroes-desperate-struggle-trailer/), that subtitle has me a little worried. I'd like to play No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle on the Wii, not the DS.

Good eye. I immediately presumed it was gonna be a Wii follow-up completely failing to notice the initials.

Tekken 6 will be available at launch for the 360. That's a big deal, at least in Japan.

That's a good sign. In the mean time I'll be replaying that trailer indefinitely and reloading Joystiq.

Hey, this is the sequel to one of the most intriguing Wii games. I can't help but be excited. :)

I just told Kat that it was announced. Her response was "Cool".
So I assume there could be others looking forward to it. Actually, she's playing Orochi Warriors 2 right now if that shows a point of perspective 8-P.

Yes. Figured that was what was going to happen. Good idea all around to make the expansion like that. Recon
I like the name not only who it is about but that its before Halo 3
Longer playtime than I thought as well.

From Major Nelson:
H3R is a prologue to the events in Halo 3 that tells the story from an all-new perspective: an ODST recon marine.
In a year!?

Halo 3 expansion. New Hero, new campaign.
Well maybe not an expansion. Something about box art so it's probably a standalone.

Well, it sounds like Microsoft will have a good XBLA lineup for the winter season, but what is coming out during the Autumn of Xbox Live Arcade? Are they depending on the Community Games to fill the gap?

Recon's probably going to be released both as a download and as traditional boxed copy.

The first community game came out today for 100MS. I downloaded the demo but have yet to try it. I forget the name of it, but it is supposed to be like Deathmatch Asteroids or some such. 16 players over live.

Wow, Microsoft did a pretty good show for being in Japan and all.
It looks like next year is the year of Halo with Halo Wars and Halo 3 Recon coming out. Speaking of which...Fall 2009!? What the hell!? Why give us the achievements and the box art for something not coming out for over a year XD
Also...this is a long shot but, how much you wanna bet that after next year, in 2010, Gears 3 will be released and then in 2011, Halo 4 or something launches alongside the next Xbox? Just a guess, but Microsoft seems to have a Gears-Halo-Gears-Halo thing going on.
I kinda actually like Ninety Nine Nights XD. Though, I got stuck on the third character and never beat the game but I thought it was a slightly above average Dynasty Warriors clone.
At least we finally have a date for the nXe, though I am kind of skeptical on the whole thing.
Overall, this was a good showing for Microsoft from a Japanese standpoint and a pretty good one for us too, if only for Halo: Recon news.
