Nintendo will host a pre-Tokyo Game Show event on September 13 in Japan to focus on 3DS, according to a WSJ report. Speculation suggests Nintendo may debut a 3DS redesign at the event, along with several big software announcements.

Share value in the company rose 8.4 percent over the past three weeks. It was during the same time last year that Nintendo unveiled 3DS.

Officially, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has said the company has “no plans” for a redesign.
