Convention Preview News: Spiel 09 Preview Update

The Spiel 09 preview has been updated as detailed below. I realize that not all of the games listed are new for 2009, but given the limited exposure that the Korean games have received, I thought I’d include them, too. I’ve also not listed every company that receives a booth listing or every game a retail price; those details get plopped in as I have them and no sense quadrupling the time required to do so by noting it here. Further updates await!
