Is a confirmation for Monster Hunter Tri G almost here? That appears to be the case, as numerous Japanese blogs are reporting that the title has been announced. One would think that if it’s true, the news would be taken from this week’s Famitsu.

And here’s another odd rumor: apparently the magazine also has information on a new peripheral for 3DS that will allow the system to use a second slide pad. You know, it’s basically that crazy rumor that originally popped up on 01Net… except now it’s not looking so crazy!

Hopefully we’ll receive some concrete information soon.

A few weeks ago, we posted a listing of pre-TGS rumors that now appears to be completely legitimate. With Nintendo’s 3DS Conference taking place in less than a week, how about we throw some new speculation into the mix?

The rumors are:

• Monster Hunter exclusive for 3DS, supports online play.
• A Yoshi side scroller for 3DS, developed by Good-Feel.
• New game from WarioWare team.
• Etrian Odyssey 3DS
• Hatsune Miku 3DS, contains all songs from Project DIVA 1 and 2.
• New 3DS color: solid silver.
• Presentation on eShop demos; Super Mario Land 3D will have a downloadable demo.
• The “new project” from Alchemist, the famous visual novel company, is an entirely new “moe mystery” for 3DS.
• Ace Attorney 5, will supposedly include an Edgeworth scenario. AA: Investigations being phased in to main series?

This rumor batch seems more believable than some of the other claims that have been thrown around in recent days. However, you should still be cautious of the points above. I have a feeling that the rumors originated from 2ch, and that site has a habit of making a few things up…

Update: It seems that the latest issue of Nintendo Dream is already available, though it only contains the two details below.

Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft will supposedly be sharing the first details on their next project in an issue of Nintendo Dream. There are just two few details about the title so far. Speculation indicates that it will be an RPG for the 3DS and will be the third entry in a series.

As someone who absolutely loved Baten Kaitos, I can’t help but wish that the announcement is in regards to Baten Kaitos 3. A Baten Kaitos DS game was in development at one point before being mysteriously cancelled. The series is viewed highly in the eyes of critics, but neither game sold particularly well.

A rumored online survey from Disney seems to indicate that Epic Mickey to is on the way. A few possible boxarts were displayed along with a few name choices: Epic Mickey 2: Return of the Mad Doctor, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Epic Mickey 2: Mystery on Mean Street, and Epic Mickey 2.

This time around, the sequel will end up on Wii, along with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A 2-player split screen mode is planned in which the player could control Mickey Mouse or Oswald The Lucky Rabbit. The survey says that Oswald will be able to “fly like a helicopter” and use electricity to “fight or friend” foes.

That’s assuming the survey is real of course. I have a feeling it is given the commercial success Epic Mickey has experienced.

01Net is at it once again. The site has released a third Nintendo article today, though this time it doesn’t focus on a particular system. You can find some of the more interesting pieces from the report below.

To be honest, I’m having a very hard time believing this round of speculation. That’s what the rumor tag is for, I suppose!

A few pre-TGS rumors have surfaced, but they have a bit of extra credibility compared to the average speculation. Why? Well, although the rumors are a few months old, some of them have actually been proven accurate already.

For instance, Rhythm Thnief R: Emperor Napoleon’s Legacy was just confirmed in Famitsu today, but the rumor originated back in July.

Here’s the rumor checklist as it stands now:

[ ] 4 Warriors of Light 2, 3DS
[ ] Monster Hunter Tri G, 3DS
[ ] Miku Hatsune, 3DS
[x] Sega has a Layton-like game but with rhythm action instead of puzzles, to be announced at TGS.
[ ] DQ10 is being designed as an MMO-like game.

We’ve posted the Nintendo-related rumors in this post, but if you’d like to see the full list, head on over to this link.

01Net published an article yesterday regarding information they’ve received about the 3DS. Today, they’ve followed up with some Wii U rumors.

The first topic of discussion focuses on the controller’s main chipset. There is apparently some concern that it is limiting. 01Net’s source goes as far as to say that it might be “a tad too cheap”. The site also claims that wireless capabilities aren’t functioning just yet and a fourth prototype will be made available before month’s end.

We now have a follow-up report on Nintendo’s rumored September 13 event. Inside Games is adding to the speculation, claiming that their sources say that an extremely big title will be announced next month. They aren’t sure if the reveal will be taking place on September 13, however, nor do they know if that’s when the rumored 3DS conference will take place. It does seem that the event will be taking place sometime in September though.

Could Nintendo be planning a fall-like conference for the 3DS? Well, we aren’t entirely sure that it’s a conference, though investors are under the impression that an important event will be held on September 13.

This rumored event has actually caused a boost in Nintendo stock today, which, at one point, rose to 9.7% above yesterday’s level.

Nintendo held a “Fall Conference” in late September of last year. While the 3DS was a huge focus, the company also took time to talk briefly about Wii – and confirmed Wii Remote Plus. New games were also announced after the show ended.

01Net has published a couple of new rumors about the 3DS. As we saw with Wii U, they have been spot on with some of their speculation, but inaccurate in some instances. With that said, don’t put too much stock into these rumors just yet.

The first rumor 01Net has shared is that the Nintendo is preparing a 3DS attachment that would act as a right analog stick. Shigeru Miyamoto has previously said that the company intentionally left out the additional circle pad because they felt that players use their fingers to play, and that would essentially replicate the same experience.

Here’s the relevant excerpt from the 01Net article:
