Set your watches, Wii lovers: Nintendo UK just confirmed the timing for tomorrow’s press conference, and you’re going to have to get up early if you’re in Europe.

“Nintendo will hold ONE conference tomorrow – it will take place between 1.30 – 3pm Japan time (6.30 – 8am CET),” we’ve just been told by a rep.

There’s been some confusion about what’s actually going on, as US journalists are attending an event in California tomorrow, but it looks as though all the action’s coming from Japan.

Hit this for all the rumours so far. See you then!

The internet’s going bonkers: what will Nintendo show tomorrow? There’s a good round-up of all the various rumours on Bloomberg, with a few quotes from analysts thrown in to make it sound “grown up.”

Basically, the smart money says it’s going to be a new DS, and a lot of talk has emerged today regarding a new set of Wii peripherals, as you’ll see in that Bloomberg piece.

As reported this morning, the amazingly risky rumour doing the round regarding software is that we’re going to see an update to an existing license. If you have a press, you should probably stop it.

For your information, the conference is happening simultaneously in Tokyo and California. We’ll bring you some solid details about timing tomorrow.

More educated guesswork through the first link.

Want to read some sketchy notes about a really long WiiWare presentation in America? Course you do. IGN live blogged the second day of Nintendo’s Media Summit just in case you do. There’s stuff in there about Strong Bad, World of Goo and the fact Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Major League Eating were playable but no one can write about them until next week. Enjoy.

The US press has been embargoed on some of this – we’re guessing one of the games you’re going to have to wait to hear about is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed – but GoNintendo’s kindly posted a list of everything shown at Nintendo’s American Media Summit yesterday. What’s “Pop”?

Wii

• Wii Fit
• Boom Blox
• Samba de Amigo
• Mario Kart Wii
• de Blob
• Rock Band
• Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

DS

• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness
• My Weight Loss Coach
• Sonic Chronicles
• Crosswords DS
• Space Invaders Extreme
• Zenses Ocean
• Kung Fu Panda

WiiWare

• World of Goo
• Major League Eating
• FFCC: My Life as a King
• Pop
• LostWinds

Some of it’s been embargoed, apparently, but Cubed3 has as good a run-down of what happened today at the US Nintendo Media Summit as we’ve seen, so go have a look. It sounds like a thriller. Summary:

• Wii Fit
• WiiWare
• Mario Super Sluggers
• Boom Blox
• Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time

According to the IGN live blog Harmonix showed off Guitar Hero DS but no one was allowed to talk about it. We’ll have to wait for the other stuff.
