For the past few years, Nikkei has reported on a number of elements set to be announced during Nintendo’s E3 2012 presentations. The publication has followed its tradition once again this year, providing possible news regarding news during tomorrow’s conference.

If Nikkei is to be believed, a new 3DS model is on the way, and it’ll feature a larger, 4.3 inch top screen – that’s 1.5 times the current size. Apparently this update could hit North America, Japan, and Europe as early as Summer 2012.

Nikkei also published rumors about Wii U, which will supposedly be priced at roughly 300,000 yen. That’s roughly $383, though Nintendo would likely adjust that price for other markets. It should be made clear that this is not the final price from Nintendo, and we won’t be hearing about this tomorrow.

Nikkei’s other Wii U rumor suggests that the console will be capable of distributing non-game content such as a car navigator, books, and a karaoke service featuring approximately 10,000 songs.

Update: Ubisoft just sent out the PR about the game – no Wii U version is confirmed. Looks like the original rumor was only half-correct. You can find all updates about this title on Gaming Everything from here on out, including the official announcement.

Again, we’ve been hearing about a mix of platforms for Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Obviously this is the Xbox 360 version being shown, but it’s supposedly coming to Wii U, PS3, and PC as well. We’ll see…

Broken Rules says that the game will be available in late 2012. An official site can be accessed here.

John Romero, best known for his work on Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake, isn’t really intrigued with what Wii U brings to the table.

Romero was asked for his thoughts surrounding the console in an interview with GamesIndustry. However, he eventually said that the system “doesn’t look like it is innovative, and to me the Apple ecosystem is the place I like to live in and the Nintendo ecosystem has stopped their innovating ways.”

Romero explained:
