Mario! Link! Toad?! by Jon Cousins Mon 24th Sep 2018 As is often the case at Japan's premier gaming showcase, this year's Tokyo Game Show had some great cosplay from a variety of Nintendo (and non-Nintendo) franchises. All of the big names were represented, including some of the company's most famous faces - and a few cult favourites, of course. Here is some of the best cosplay from the event for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy, and let us know your personal fave by posting a comment below.

While Nintendo has been increasing their presence at consumer events in Japan - including Kyoto’s Bitsummit indie game show as part of their ”Hello Indie World” campaign - the company has never had an official showing at Japan’s flagship gaming event, the Tokyo Game Show. In 2018, things appear to be changing; not only was Nintendo a sponsor of the event, it also found itself front and centre at the Japan Game Awards, presented on Thursday night.
