PAX West provided its official schedule for all of the events taking place at the expo at the beginning of September. A “special” Nintendo panel was among what was listed.

The listing has since updated, and provides details as to what’s in store. Rather than a developer panel, Kit and Krysta will actually be hosting a live episode of Nintendo Minute. Attendees will be treated to some new gameplay, which we should see later on.

Here’s the official panel description:

Join us for a live filming of Nintendo Minute! We’ll be taking a look at new game play for Metroid: Samus Returns, showing off some amazing fan art submitted by you and giving away some cool Metroid goodies. Hope to see you there! – Kit & Krysta

The Snack World is what Level-5 is hoping will be its next big franchise. An anime has been running in Japan, and the 3DS companion game just debuted in Japan last week. Dengeki has more on the debut sales.

Depending on which sales tracker you go with, The Snack World sold between 85,000 and 100,000 copies in its first week. Dengeki says that it sold through 55 percent of its initial shipment.
