Nintendo To Hold Nintendo 3DS Event This September [Update]

Earlier today, Bloomberg reported that Nintendo’s stock price had increased to the highest in three weeks, following speculation that the company was planning some sort of major event in September.

Bloomberg’s information came from Yusuke Tsunoda, an analyst at Tokai Tokyo Securities. “Yesterday’s invitations from Nintendo for an event on September 13th seems like the main reason for today’s jump,” Tsunoda told Bloomberg.

Now, Inside Games are confirming this report, citing their own multiple unnamed sources. They confirm that an event will be held in Japan on September 13th and will focus on the Nintendo 3DS. New title announcements are expected.

Update: The Wall Street Journal is reporting (via Next-Gen.biz) that the event is only open to press, analysts and investors.
