Taipei Game Show 2019 wouldn’t be complete without our perpetual “Merch-run” article where we try to scour the show-floor for a slew of gaming geeky finds! While not as huge as Tokyo Game Show (where the merch alone takes up just one and a half gigantic hall of the Makuhari Messe), the stuff we found last Taipei Game Show got us drooling already. Given that year-on-year, the annual gaming convention here in Taipei gets bigger and bigger, we’re expecting mooooaaaar amazing merch!
Luckily (or unluckily depending on what’s the current state of your wallets), the show did not disappoint!
And because misery loves company, we’re here to show you some of the choice goods we found — just so we could collectively groan with our financial state. Huhu.
Without further ado, here are 60 or so images that made our wallets shiver in fear (or anticipation).
