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.

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”!

Wreck-It Ralph will certainly get a sequel at some point. In addition to being a commercial success, the movie has been regarded as one of the better films of 2012.

Many classic video game characters saw cameos in Wreck-It Ralph, but one character was missing: Mario. His name was mentioned, but he never appeared at any point. Director Rich Moore said that Mario wasn’t included since the team couldn’t find a way to appropriately include him.

Moore does want to add Mario to a Wreck-It Ralph sequel. He feels that having him in the movie “would be great.”

“We’ll really come up with something good for Mario to do [in the next film]. To be able to present him in the sequel would be great.”

This is not a joke. There is another Nintendo Direct today. Really.

A Japanese presentation will be shown at noon Japan time. That should be 10 PM EST / 7 PM PST.

Just a heads up: don’t expect too much. Since this is a Nintendo Direct mini, the stream will be brief, and there won’t be a whole lot of news.

All we know at the moment is that the video will be very short. It’s unclear if this will focus on a specific game or something else entirely. We’ll know soon!

Guitar Hero games pretty much used to be a yearly series. Year after year Activision would churn out new entries.

But in 2010, Guitar Hero came to a screeching halt. Warriors of Rock was the last release, and it doesn’t sound like Activision will be refreshing it anytime soon.

Interestingly, before Activision put the hammer down on Guitar Hero, Vicarious Visions was working on Guitar Hero 7. It was only midway through its development that the project was canned and Guitar Hero entered retirement.

Kotaku spoke with a source and corroborated rumored details about the title, which we’ve posted below.
