   One of the gaming industry's golden rules is about to be broken! A rule that has stood the test of time for over a decade. And although we never really knew "why", we got used to the proven fact that Nintendo never attended the Tokyo Game Show with a booth of their own. They always used to host a show of their own, be it Space World, or Nintendo World, or whatever. And, quite frankly, we didn't really expect things to change anytime soon. But, according to Kotaku, they just might...
"Nintendo will be a major participant in this year's Tokyo Game Show, Kotaku has learned. This will be the first time since the show's inception in 1996 that Nintendo will participate with a booth at the show. (...) A big booth at that. Multiple, highly placed insiders confirm that the company will be in attendance, which is one of the reasons why TGS is four days this year instead of three."    The change of schedule was announced back in February, and as a result TGS 2007 will take place between September 20-23. The first two days will be set aside as "Business Days" (instead of just one), while the last two days, as usual, will be open to the public.

   If Kotaku's info is right, the main reason behind Nintendo's change of plans is... tadaaa... Square Enix' Dragon Quest IX - the game announced last December, most surprisingly, for the Nintendo DS. They argue that "every time a Dragon Quest game has been shown at TGS, the event belongs to DQ. With Nintendo landing a major coup and getting DQIX on the DS (and it's gonna sell a gazillion copies), the company has decided to put in face time."

   Well, in that case, we might just throw a much bigger coverage of TGS this year. With E3 out of the way and everything...
