A teaser site will eventually go live here, but we’ll have to wait until the Tales of Festival for a proper unveiling. The event will be held in Japan on June 2 and June 3.

A “favorite” item will soon be available once again on Club Nintendo. Nintendo of America wrote on its Twitter account, “One of your favorite #ClubNintendo rewards is about to return. Guess what it is?”

The 3DS Game Card Case is the only reward not in stock on Club Nintendo, so I assume that’s what Nintendo is teasing.

A couple of signs have hinted at an upcoming LEGO Lord of the Rings game announcement.

UK retailer ShopTo listed the title, though it has since been pulled. You can find a cached version of the page here.

Nintendo isn’t the only company not attending Gamescom 2012. SEGA will be a no-show, too.

SEGA said it “was simply a commercial decision” in explaining its absence.

The company said in a statement:

“Sega has made the decision not to attend Gamescom this year. Gamescom 2011 was a very successful show for us and continues to be the most important European event in the calendar.

“Unfortunately the release timing of our 2012 AAA titles and new projects don’t work with the mid- August scheduling of the show. The decision will not mean that Sega will never attend Gamescom in the future, this was simply a commercial decision made for 2012.”

Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura has basically been a weekly guest in Famitsu as of late. He spoke with the magazine once again this week.

We’re aware that Nomura said a couple of things in particular. He’s working on an unannounced title that is more of a lighter offering compared to his other games. He also joked about Kingdom Hearts III being a major curve ball.

More information from the interview will surely appear over the next few days.
