While I still await Sakura Matsuri 2012, I took a chance and went to the Museum and Portrait Gallery in downtown Washington, DC, where they had the Art of Video Games exhibit.
The entire 3rd floor had games to show, the history behind them, as well as a few to play. I was so excited to go in there, and it pleased me. Not every system was showcased however, but it did range from the days of old, featuring the likes of Commodore 64 and Atari, the 90's that featured the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive and Super Nintendo, all the way to present day with the current trio: the Nintendo Wii, Sony's PlayStation 3, and Microsoft's Xbox 360.
Hideo Kojima was there, and this man was the creator of popular Konami series Metal Gear Solid. Game enthusiasts and museum goers alike had a fun time, some of which, like myself, gettiing a bit of nostalgia from seeing the consoles of the past. I'm an all round gamer, but I was enjoyed seeing Sega Saturn there, as it's one of my favorites next to the Genesis. It looks as if it'll be around for quite a while so I may go again. But even if you don't see what you want to see, I feel you may get some fulfillment from this exhibit if you go. This is Seiko Takeda, closing another event post for now!!
