We’re just a few hours away from the 2012 VGAs. This won’t necessarily be a huge event in the world of Nintendo, but it’s a big night for games in general and there will be Nintendo-related content at the show.

First and foremost, it’s been confirmed that the Assassin’s Creed III: The Tyranny of King Washington DLC will make its deubt. This content will be coming to the Wii U version of the game sometime in the future. There are also several titles on Nintendo systems nominated for awards, so it should be interesting to see how the results pan out. And there’s always the possibility that an unannounced multiplatform game or two could come to a Nintendo system.

You’ll be able to watch the VGA 2012 pre-show here at 8 PM EST / 5 PM PST. The awards show itself will debut one hour later and should be viewable on the same page.

Square Enix opened up a new teaser site today. Although we can’t officially say that the company will be announcing something called “Star Galaxy”, it appears that this mysterious game is set to be revealed in less than five days.

Siliconera came across a trademark for Star Galaxy, which Square Enix filed in Japan.

You can view the teaser site here. It does have a space-feel to it… and it does feature the word “Star”!
