The World Ends with You is one of the most critically-acclaimed DS games. Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura has hinted that the series could return one day on a number of different different occasions, and with character cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts 3D, the possibility of a new game is stronger than ever before.

Nomura added more fuel to the fire in an interview with Nintendo Dream. Rhyme, Beat’s younger sister, was given a voice in Kingdom Hearts 3D. In The World Ends with You, the development team only implemented reaction voices. Nomura told the magazine that Kingdom Hearts 3D features voice acting for Rhyme “out of consideration of the future of The World Ends With You series.”

Nomura went on to tease, “Regarding The World Ends with You, I can’t say anything at present… (laughs). But there probably is something.”

Bring on The World Ends with You for 3DS (please)!

Square Enix has filed a new European trademark for “A Realm Reborn”. There’s some speculation that the name could be used as a subtitle for Dragon Quest X, but that has not been confirmed.

We do have one clue from the trademark. Square Enix’s Japanese division registered the name, which means the filing pertains to a Japanese IP.

Japanese 3DS owners are finding the above note from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in their Swapnote applications today. Iwata is holding a Kirby plushie in the photo. Some people are speculating that there will be a Kirby announcement on the show, but I’m not willing to go that far… yet.

Nintendo of Europe will show their own Nintendo Direct presentation tomorrow and it’s being held by an alternate version of Satoru Iwata! Okay… not really, but Nintendo of Europe’s president Satoru Shibata will be hosting.

Highlights from the Japanese Nintendo Direct will be included as well as “announcements and content entirely exclusive to Europe.”

Nintendo of Europe/UK will be live-tweeting updates here and here.

You’ll be able to watch the broadcast on this page at 1 PM CET.

The next Nintendo Direct will be taking place this Saturday. In North America, the broadcoast will be shown on April 20 at 11 PM EST / 8 PM PST. These presentations have been a bimonthly affair for Nintendo since October.

Satoru Iwata will be on hand to share the latest information about the 3DS and Wii. Essentially, you can expect footage, trailers, and other material for Japanese games. We’ll probably see the first trailer for Project X Zone and other upcoming releases.

Keep track of the Nintendo Direct page here. It’s currently unclear if Nintendo of America/Europe will be holding their own presentations.
