Nintendo announces it has a huge surprise ready to be revealed two days before a little bit before the Tokyo Game Show starts on September 15 with the main focus being on what the company is calling an "Extremely Big Title."
Currently Nintendo is holding a 3DS focused event on September 13 but did not reveal if the big announcement is specifically for a 3DS game. Last time Nintendo held a pre-TGS event, it was for the confirmation of the debut of the 3DS. In terms of games, Nintendo traditionally doesn't show off mega-titles at TGS and prefers to use E3 for those debuts.
The news was strong enough to cause a big enough spike to occur in Nintendo related stocks with the impressions from investors that the news will be something huge.
Rumors for the actual game involve either a Pokemon type MMO or at least the previously hinted Monster Hunter game Capcom said they wanted to make for the 3DS.

Quick News Round-Up:
1) John Carmack from id Software confirms the upcomming Doom 4 will run at the standard 30 frames per second for multiplayer but the studio is pushing the single player campaign to run at 60 fps. The decision was done to increase the action in the single player with more effects and monsters possible instead of just a uniform 30 fps for both modes similar to most games in the shooter genre.
2) Namco Bandi announces Dark Souls will not have any DLC content or "expansion" style packs as the studio is focusing on making the gameplay last around 50-60 hours on its own. The company also revealed the main reason was due to the sheer size of the game being 3 times larger than Demon Souls meant the game itself had enough content to offset the need for extra DLC or stuff cut like in other games.
3) Sonic CD set to arrive on Xbox Live Arcade after Major Nelson leaked in his official blog all the titles set to be shown at upcomming events later this year.
