The Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association ("CESA"; Chairman: Hideki Hayakawa) has announced the establishment of a special online venue on the Amazon website for hosting Tokyo GAME SHOW 2020 ONLINE ("TGS2020 ONLINE"), scheduled to be held online September 23–27(Wed-Sun), 2020.

A special Amazon online venue for TGS2020 ONLINE has been set up with a specially-prepared page on the Amazon website. The main TGS2020 ONLINE venue (https://tgs.cesa.or.jp/) has also posted links on its site to ensure a smooth transition of visitors between the main venue and special venue (*see next page for more information on content provided from the special venue).

This is the first time in its 24-year history that TGS will be held exclusively online. This also marks the first time in history for TGS and Amazon.co.jp to work together in an official capacity. Don't miss the chance to experience this first-of-its-kind challenge.

The special Amazon online venue will also have a unique sponsors page available for four days from September 24 (Thu), which will feature the streaming of official TGS programs, exhibitor programs, and esports competitions; sales of products and related goods; Japan Game Awards announcements, and much more. Much of the content delivered by TGS2020 ONLINE will be available for viewing from both the main venue and special Amazon venue.

Establishing this year's special Amazon online venue, it is believed, will provide even more people the chance to experience the future of gaming and technology, including those who have never attended a TGS event before. It will also offer a smoother route for goods purchases, allowing customers to enjoy shopping for related goods and services with even more ease.
