TOKYO--Microsoft has unveiled its Xbox game lineup to be on display at the Tokyo Game Show this September 24-26.

American- and European-developed games dominate the lineup, in contrast to years previous when a greater number of Japanese-developed games were featured. On the first day of the show, Microsoft will hold a press conference where Xbox division general manager Yoshihiro Maruyama is expected to unveil the company' s future plans for the Xbox in that market. Hardware and software sales have been sluggish in Japan since the console' s launch in 2002.

Microsoft' s full TGS 2004 lineup is as follows:

- Halo 2
- Forza Motorsport
- Blinx 2: Battle of Time & Space
- Phantom Dust
- MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
- Fable
- Jade Empire
- Conker: Live and Reloaded
- Sudeki
- Kameo: Elements of Power
- Full Spectrum Warrior
- Xbox Video Chat
