The Japan Amusement Expo (JAEPO) 2013 is one of the largest amusement machines and equipments exhibitions in the world, and it will be taking place next month at Makuhari Messe, on the 15th and the 16th.
The show is an evolution of the AOU trade show, and has some huge industry names lined up to exhibit. So far Namco Bandai Games, Sega, Konami, Square Enix, Taito, Capcom, UNIS (China) and WHALAP (China) have all confirmed booths at the trade show.
JAEPO is an excellent opportunity to get a glimpse at some of the games coming out of Japan at the moment, and a chance to find out what might be making it's way out West.
The show will start at 10am both days, and finish at 5pm both days. However, Friday 15th is the Business Day, so the exhibit will only be open to those with invitation tickets only, and Saturday 16th is the Public Day and will be open to general admission.
