While not nearly as big as E3 for the gaming industry, the annual Consumer Electronics Show can be a place for some interesting gaming related product announcements. The previous show, for example, had the debut of Alienware's popular M11x gaming PC laptop and the announcement of a motion sensing PC game controller from Razer (which as of this writing has yet to be released).

The 2011 edition of CES will be held in Las Vegas on January 6-11 and the show will once again have its own game-based section called the CES Gaming Showcase. AMD, Intel, Logitech, Microsoft and others will have gaming related exhibits at the show. And for you console gamers out there Nintendo will also be exhibiting at CES 2011. This will be the first time that Nintendo has come to CES in 16 years.

The first big event of 2009 is next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and if you happen to be in the area on Friday, January 9, Capcom could be inviting you and a guest to their big CES party at the Planet Hollywood hotel on the Strip.

Capcom's blog site states that they will invite at least 25 people (each with one guest) to the event where they will get to see demos of many of Capcom's 2009 titles including Bionic Commando, Dark Void and Street Fighter IV. There's no word if Capcom will bring the PC versions of those games to the event but you never know. And hey, there's going to be free food and drinks so there's at least two big reasons to get an invite.
