So… This is going to be a pretty big week for gaming, and Nintendo fans in particular. In case you are unaware of any of the events that will be taking place over the next few days, this rundown might come in handy:
Square Enix 1st Production Dept. Premier
What is it?
Square Enix’s conference to announce new games, and reveal information and trailers for previously announced projects. The event won’t just be for Nintendo systems, but Kingdom Hearts 3D is expected to be there. There could be additional surprises for the 3DS as well. All non-Nintendo news will be posted on Gaming Everything.
Coverage
I haven’t decided quite yet! The event is taking place at an awful time – 4 AM EST tomorrow morning (Tuesday). So, do I stay up until then? It won’t end until 5 AM EST at the earliest, and then there’s a stream at 6 AM. I’ll try to figure something out, though…

I think it goes without saying that Shin’en is one of the most technically impressive Wii developers…
This is exactly why I didn’t emphasize one of Jonathan Ross’s tweets yesterday. A number of people assumed that Ross indicated there will be a Metroid 3DS announcement on Wednesday on his Twitter account. However, he was actually responding to the portion of a fan’s tweet about surprises at the conference. This isn’t an ultimate dagger in terms of killing the rumor, but I wouldn’t count on a Metroid reveal this week. Still, we heard that something “cool” will be shown, so make sure to check out NE on Wednesday!
