The tour will take Kojima and crew first to London, followed by stops in Madrid, Milano, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Paris. The team will then split into three, heading to Japan, New York and Los Angeles for launch day.
Closing off a press conference today in Tokyo, where this plan was first unveiled, Konami hinted at a few surprises for launch and beyond. At the end of the ceremony, as the press was getting ready to leave, a mysterious voice asked, "Will there be surprises on launch day?". The voice then continued, "Akihabara, New York, LA -- worldwide live broadcast." The voice also hinted that certain VIP guests will be present at whatever is going down in those three cities -- presumably a major launch event...
My understanding is that all of the team, including Hideo Kojima, are planning to go to all of the listed European cities, and then splitting up for Akihabara, New York and LA. It'd be a shame if fans travelled to a city to see Kojima and were met with Ryan Payton or Aki Saito, but I appreciate the idea of the events, anyway.
I'm toying with the idea of travelling to London to go to one of these events and get a couple of games signed (likely Mega CD Snatcher and MG2: SS if I can get my family to send it to me). Is anybody else planning to go see the team?
