Gung ho, indeed. As seen on Famitsu.com.

Booth Companion Showcase: Tecmo Stays Classy, Trashy

Michael McWhertor — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:00:00 MDT

The booth companion costume designers at Tecmo haven't deviated too far from the norm for Tokyo Game Show 2008. Heels, short shorts and tube tops are being worn in spades at TGS, with a handful of exhibitors (Sony, for one) keeping it a bit classier on the total amount of less flesh revealed. Tecmo went for the industry standard "nearly naked" look, opting for an extra, gossamer thin layer of tacky, shimmering polyester negligee.

Tecmo was surprisingly protective of its booth companions, asking that we refrain from snapping some of the girls. Booth reps didn't ask, so much as they threw up big "X" arms in our faces. Serious business.

Microsoft's New Booth Companion Outfits: Impressions

Let's TGS. Like we said, this year's Microsoft TGS booth is special. Not for the games, necessarily (OK, for the games), but for the fact that the company's army of booth companions have new outfits! What's better, they have two new outfits! It's the megaton of (fashion) show so far. How do they shape up? Let's. Find. Out.

As you can see, there are two outfits. One is a sleek, futuristic, Space Channel 5-meets-the-Jetsons number. Looks like a polyester blend. The other is a funky urban cowgirl/80's British punk thing, with a hint of side-boob. Both are a good look. And both are, most importantly, only improved by the lady's personal touches and individual accessories.

Think the urban cowgirl look's a little hokey? Give it a little Mediterranean flair with this beret/neckerchief combo.

Don't like Xbox green? Add a little style with this grey belt/suspenders pairing.

Or if careful accessorising isn't your thing, you could always go the more direct method of attracting attention.

The Booth Companions of Tokyo Game Show 2008

With Microsoft redesigning their clothes for this year's Tokyo Game Show "booth companions" it seems that a lot of other companies followed suit. My quick walkthrough of the halls netted me images of companions in cosplay, companions with yellow and red eyes and companions in what can only be described as red nighties.

Which outfit is your favorite?

Requisite booth companion photos from the coin-op AOU2007 in Japan. Reader Landon snapped that one above. Gallery of pics from Dengeki Online down below. Hmmm... Not much else to add really, except for that the majority of the booth companions aren't trashed out E3-style in the least! Brian Ashcraft
