That’s right, we’re going to Anime Expo for the first time ever, and we will have the biggest presence we have ever had at a show outside of Japan…ever! We will have a double-sized booth on the show floor, and by our powers combined with our Gal*Gun publishing partners at pQube, we will have even more awesome stuff at the show! Here’s a full breakdown of all the Inti Creates stuff you’ll find at Anime Expo 2016!
As you may have saw from our big announcement the other day, we are VERY excited to be attending MAGFest 2016! This will be our sound team’s first ever event appearance outside of Japan, and with the two huge concerts that we have planned (Lumen Super Live 2016 and Inti Creates 20th Anniversary Special Concert), it’s going to be an event for the ages! As International Affairs Coordinator, it gives me such great joy to be able to present our super talented sound team, III (pronounced like “Triple Eye”), to the amazing fans who have been supporting them for years who have never had the chance to see them in person.
It’s been a pleasure to work with MAGFest to get this all planned and put together. Making this happen has been a goal of mine ever since I began working here at Inti Creates, and it’s so exciting to see it coming to fruition! I speak for the entire sound team when I say that they are really excited to rock your socks off and meet fans from outside of Japan. Also, in case you missed it, the lead character artist for Gunvolt, Mr. Hatakeyama, did a Lumen Super Live concert poster! My goodness, it’s GORGEOUS!
We hope to see you there in crowd at MAGFest! GET HYPE!
Keep on Striking,
Matt
It’s hard to believe that 2016 is the 20th anniversary of Inti Creates! To celebrate this momentous milestone for our company, the Inti Creates sound team, aka III (pronounced “Triple I”), will be putting on two special concerts in Tokyo this winter!
This year at our PAX Prime panel, to celebrate the release of the Steam version of Azure Striker Gunvolt, we gave away a limited edition floppy disk that had an MS-DOS version of Azure Striker Gunvolt along with a code to download the game on Steam. We’re sure many of you do not have access to PCs that can run floppy disk games on MS-DOS, so now that it’s been a few months since the panel, we decided to make this game available to everyone online! You will need the special code that was available with the floppy disk to play the game to the fullest, so if you weren’t there at the panel, maybe you had a friend who was there. 😉

Yesterday was Culture Day, a national holiday here in Japan, but Inti Creates employees and Gal*Gun voice actresses alike gathered together in one of the most unlikely places you can imagine: Boat Race Edogawa, a famous boat racing track on the eastern edge of Tokyo were spectators can bet their hard-earned yen on boat races just like you would at a horse racing track…only with, you know… boats!
In less than two weeks time, we will be taking our first trip to Portland, Oregon to be guests at Portland Retro Game Expo on October 17th and 18th! Both CEO Takuya Aizu and your friendly neighborhood International Affairs Coordinator Matt Papa will be on site at the expo, where we will be taking part in a panel, showcasing awesome Inti Creates games at our show floor booth, and doing whatever other shenanigans we wind up getting ourselves into!
We hope to see you there!

First and foremost, we are very happy to share that our CEO/Producer Takuya Aizu will be holding a panel with two of our more recent game dev companions, who just happen to be legends in the industry! That’s right, Aizu-san will join Keiji Inafune and Koji Igarashi for a panel a BitSummit this Saturday July 11th, starting at 12:40pm JST! (That’s July 10th at 11:40pm Eastern, 8:40pm Pacific)

Keep on Striking!

As Inti Creates, we have been going to events in North America for many years now, however, during the times we did make the trip abroad, those trips have been to big industry events such as E3, GDC, and the like. To this point, we had never been to any sort of fan event before as Inti Creates where we had tables, panels and the like, but that changed last weekend when we attended Too Many Games last weekend in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
We were invited by the convention to not only attend, but have a large booth on the show floor, run a panel, and participate in an autograph signing session, and that’s exactly what we did! While big industry events like E3 are an amazing experience, Too Many Games gave us a chance to really showcase our games and connect with fans outside of Japan in way that we were never able to do before. The responses from fans were as enlightening as they were humbling and heartwarming.
Since Too Many Games went over so well, we can all but assure you that we as Inti Creates will be attending more fan events like this outside of Japan in the future. Where and when those will be though, has yet to be determined. If you are interested in having us as guests at your convention, feel free to contact us about it.
Now, enjoy some photos from our Too Many Games adventure! ^o^v
It gives me great pleasure to announce that we here at Inti Creates will be guests at the upcoming Too Many Games convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from June 26-June 28. This is a very special event for us because while we have been to game-related events overseas before like E3, GDC, and PAX, this is the first time we have been invited to be guests at a fan-event in North America.
Too Many Games has oodles of fun events, from concerts and a massive marketplace, to panels, an indie game showcase, and a lot more! As a former attendee of this event when I lived in the US before coming to Japan, Too Many Games has always been a favorite convention of mine, and I am super stoked to be a part of it this year as a member of Inti Creates.
We will have a booth in the marketplace, an Inti Creates panel, and who knows what other shenanigans may come about, so if you are in the Philadelphia area from June 26th to June 28th, come on out to Too Many Games and say hello! We would love to meet you!
