Famitsu has gone slightly overboard with its next magazine teaser. The publication will supposedly be unveiling an “amazing” scoop for its September 6 issue. Famitsu will have the latest on other Capcom titles as well including DmC Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 6.

Along with the Capcom scoop, Famitsu will publish an article on Level-5. Whereas the Capcom teaser seems to hint at a big announcement of some sort, it isn’t clear if the feature will contain any big reveals.

Square Enix officially announced The World Ends with You: Solo Remix a couple of days ago. For fans of the series, the news came as a bit of a disappointment since there were high hopes for a brand new entry rather than a port/remake.

Director Tatsuya Kando was interviewed by Famitsu this week and apologized to those who have been waiting for “new developments” regarding The World Ends with You. He also teased that there are “a variety of other things” in the works.

He said:

“For those who were waiting for new developments for TWEWY, sorry to have kept you waiting. Solo Remix is a game with such a high level of completion that you won’t feel that it’s a port. If you play it and post Tweets to Twitter, the world will expand even further. We’re working on a variety of other things, but first please enjoy Solo Remix.”

So… does that mean we can expect a brand new The World Ends with You title in the future? Nah… let’s not go there – best not to create any hype!

Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct appears to be a Japanese-only affair. Nintendo of America has confirmed that it won’t be broadcasting its own pre-recorded video, and Nintendo of Europe hasn’t announced anything on its end either.

So… keep those expectations in check, folks! It will be a smaller affair compared to June’s presentation.

Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct isn’t the only important Nintendo-happening of the week. The Big N is also planning on holding a retailer meeting sometime within the next few days.

Sinobi, the source of the news, has high hopes that there will be news on Animal Crossing: Jump Out. Nintendo will likely have a final Japanese release date for this title since it is due for release this fall. There’s a very strong chance that it will have a strong presence at the retail meeting as well as tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct.

Telltale made a number of Back to the Future adventure grahpic games last year. Amid the series’ success, rumor has it that the developer will be returning to the IP in the near future.

One GameSpot reader claims that Doc Brown actor Christopher Lloyd told FanExpo attendees about his plans to once again provide voice work for an unannounced Back to the Future title.

Beyond this, Lloyd had nothing additional to share. Telltale Games is remaining mum for now, saying:

“We are unable to comment on any unannounced titles or projects from Telltale Games.”

Telltale has been focusing on its Walking Dead titles, so we may not receive a confirmation regarding a new Back to the Future game (or series) until that’s all wrapped up. But given the popularity of the first few releases, it wouldn’t be surprising if an announcement is made sooner rather than later.

Nintendo has announced its lineup for PAX Prime 2012. Not only will the Wii U be playable, but the eShop game Fluidity: Spin Cycle will make its debut at the show.

The Big N’s full lineup is posted below, along with more information.

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)– This year’s PAX Prime event will be action-packed, thanks to special game sampling opportunities and activities from Nintendo. Taking place Aug. 31 through Sept. 2 at Seattle’s Washington State Convention Center, the show will offer attendees the opportunity to play the groundbreaking Wii U™ system and several upcoming games, including Pikmin™ 3, ZombiU™ and New Super Mario Bros.™ U. The Wii U console launches this holiday season and introduces the Wii U GamePad, a controller with a 6.2-inch touch screen that redefines how people interact with their games, their entertainment and one another. The Nintendo booth (#462) will be the site of hands-on Wii U game demos, giving fans an early chance to check out the system’s unique integrated second-screen gaming experiences.

PAX Prime attendees can also visit the Nintendo Gaming Lounge on levels 2 and 3 of the North Galleria to experience unreleased games for the Nintendo 3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ hand-held systems and a special Kirby™ game collection for the Wii™ console. All Nintendo 3DS software will be playable on the new Nintendo 3DS XL, which features 90 percent larger screens compared to Nintendo 3DS. Fans of the Kirby, Paper Mario™ and Kid Icarus™ series will enjoy one-of-a-kind opportunities to celebrate these extraordinary franchises, and the Nintendo Gaming Lounge will include a special Pokémon™ area, where fans can gather to battle and trade with other Pokémon Trainers.

Per its usual bi-monthly schedule, a new Nintendo Direct will be taking place tomorrow. The event is set for 7 AM ET / 4 AM PT.

Don’t expect any Wii U updates with tomorrow’s broadcast. Only the 3DS, and maybe a measly bit of Wii content, will be covered.

Keep track of this page for a stream. We should also have the live video on the site prior to the start of the broadcast and will have live updates as it progresses.

Thanks to 4Him for the tip.

These aren’t real ads – they’re made by Nintendo of Europe to promote New Super Mario Bros. 2. That doesn’t make them any less neat, however!

You can find another batch here.
