Gematsu has compiled an in-depth streaming schedule for this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Namco Bandai, SEGA, and plenty of others plan on showing content over the Internet.

It’s worth mentioning that Capcom has a surprise in store. On September 22, the company will reveal an unannounced title. Director Itsuno Hideaki will be on hand for the event.

For the week ending September 8, 3DS sales were once again strong in Japan. Total sales of the 3DS XL have now topped 60,000 since the second week of February (about seven months).

What’s even more interesting is how well the Circle Pad Pro performed. According to data provided by Media Create, for the 3DS and 3DS XL versions combined, sales of the accessory rose from roughly 7,000 units to 15,000 in the latest week. It is thought that the Circle Pad Pro sales increase was due to the anticipation of Monster Hunter 4’s launch.

More Media Create data is expected tomorrow. It should be interesting to say the least, thanks to the arrival of Monster Hunter 4.
