Although the 2011 Tokyo Game Show won’t technically begin until Thursday, companies have conferences lined up starting tonight. We don’t know which publishers and developers will have Nintendo-related announcements, but the schedule above (created by the kind folks on NeoGAF) should come in handy. It’s possible that the Namco Bandai event will bring us some news for example, though we simply won’t know until it’s over.

Anything that isn’t covered here will certainly be covered on our sister site, such as Sony’s TGS presentation.

Namco Bandai has wrapped up development on Tales of Xillia, which means it’s already time to think about the next title in the series. Whatever that project may be, we’ll be finding out about it very soon.

Namco Bandai has opened a new teaser page for the series, with a reveal set for the Tokyo Game Show. Details will be provided on the first day of the show.

Serbii has also provided the following summary of the teaser:

“Pokémon Smash’s episode just aired in Japan and mentioned that Mewtwo is to be given away through an event soon with details to be revealed next week. The preview showcased Masuda coming in and showing a sign, blanked out, with a caption saying that there’s a revelation of the Present.”

A listing from TV Tokyo has revealed that the September 18th episode of Pokemon Smash will see a “massive shock announcement”. Pokémon Game Creator Junichi Masuda will be present to share the news.

This sounds eerily similar to the tease we saw for Pokemon Black/White – a “shock announcement” was planned in April of last year. A few days later, the pair of titles was announced.

Could the mystery reveal be leaked in CoroCoro magazine? Will Nintendo make an early announcement during their 3DS Conference on Monday? No matter what happens, we should be finding out very soon.

Square Enix has shared a map of their booth for the Tokyo Game Show next week. For the most part, there aren’t any surprises. The map is filled with titles that the company has previously announced, including Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. Partner games are featured on the map as well.

However, there is one mystery area that should be pointed out. It’s a fairly large circle area with a “???” mark attached.

Could it be related to this new teaser site? Or perhaps it’s Final Fantasy: 4 Warriors of Light 2, which has been rumored for several weeks.

Not sure why, but I have an unusual amount of inspiration this evening! It’s a Wednesday night, I’m stressed out of my mind with work and school, yet I feel a weird urge to come on out here and write something so you all have something to think about when you begin your Thursdays across the globe! We’re halfway done with the week, so hang tight and a couple of days off will be at your doorstep in no time.

So last night we heard about two things, and if you’re a frequent visitor of the site, you most certainly are well acquainted with them by now: Monster Hunter Tri G, and the new 3DS Circle Pad attachment. In case you haven’t gotten all caught up, here’s the skinny on both of them:

This information comes from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma…

“I’ve never actually finished it. I almost feel like there’s still no game more difficult than it. Every time I try to play it I end up getting ‘Game Over’ a few too many times and giving up partway through. Certainly after playing the original Zelda for the first time, I didn’t ever think that I wanted to make a game like that.”

Aonuma also discussed how A Link to the Past impacted his interest in the franchise…

“That sense of exploration of the world itself was really where I latched on to the series.”

Aonuma said that the first title he directed, Marvelous, was influenced by his appreciation for A Link to the Past. After seeing his game, Shigeru Miyamoto took interest in Aonuma and these series of events led to Aonuma joining the Zelda team.

“Attention Shantae fans! Keep an eye on TouchArcade for a very special announcement, coming soon!” – WayForward website

Oh man… I’d explode with joy if a third Shantae game was revealed for the 3DS eShop. Something tells me that Risky’s Revenge is heading to the iPhone though…

The video above was shown during the Dragon Quest conference last night, right before Square Enix introduced Dragon Quest X. Fortunately, I was able to capture it for those who happened to miss out on the trailer. It’s a nice little rundown of the series!
