Satoru Iwata was born on December 6, 1959. That means Nintendo’s global president is now 55 years old! Let’s all take a moment to wish Iwata a happy birthday. Here’s hoping he’ll have many more happy years to come!

Nintendo is involved with tonight’s Game Awards, which isn’t entirely surprising. We know that several Nintendo-related games have been nominated for various categories, though it sounds like we can look forward to a few extra things as well.

Tim O’Leary, a staffer from NoA, has teased something for The Game Awards 2014. We should apparently be on the lookout during the start and end of the show.

Here’s the full tweet from O’Leary:

The Japanese Club Nintendo 2015 calender was made available to those who reached Platinum status. I’d say that the design looks very nice!

Ah, yes. Everyone loves speculation and news that may (or may not) turn out to be something interesting. So here we go.

Nintendo’s North American YouTube page has a playlist up for The Game Awards 2014, which is taking place later tonight. Right now, the only video included is the stream for the event.

Will more content be added after tonight’s awards presentation? Will Nintendo have something new to show – be it content for an existing game or a brand new game? You may remember that Reggie revealed Cranky Kong for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze at last year’s event.

Of course, this could all turn out to be nothing. I suppose we’ll know once today is over!
