Posted 09 Jul 2008 at 20:40 by Tom Phillips
Developers Square-Enix are next to reveal their line-up for E3 next week.
Interestingly, as you'll see below Square-Enix are keeping their entire Wii line-up for the show under-wraps - meaning you'll have to wait until next week to find out what the developer has in store for Nintendo's motion sensing wonder - that is, unless someone blabs first...
Still, there are a raft of DS games on show from Square-Enix, the full list of which lies below:
