Earlier in the week we posted news that Nintendo of Europe announced their own trade-only event to match the one taking place in the U.S on the 14th.
It has now been confirmed that a similar even will be taking place in Japan on the 14th too.
Speaking on the subject of the trade-only event, an NoE representative said: "Wii will be playable. Nintendo will be announcing new software at the event and there will be new announcements regarding the Wii console itself."
It is highly anticipated that on the 14th Reggie will be announcing the release details in his conference speach, words which will mirrored in the Japan and Europe shows.
All three shows will take place within 24 hours of eachother, and are one week before the Tokyo Games Show.
It seems Nintendo wants their announcement to stand out, rather than have it come as just part of the announcements from another show.
