"TGS is about marking the Xbox commitment to Japan, which is home to some of the most legendary games creators in our industry," said Microsoft in a statement.

Last year at TGS, MS announced five titles from Japanese creators, and today it revealed that Happy Wars, a new title from Toylogic, will be coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade.
