I assume the 3DS update yesterday that allows streetpassing through Nintendo Wi-Fi hotspots to get a lengthy explanation.

Maybe some release dates for the Mega Man GB games on 3DS.

Iwata: In order to reduce the price of the Wii U, we have reduced production costs by replacing all non-skill laborers with monkeys. Monkeys work for bananas, of which I have plenty

Damn it, I'll be gone all day tomorrow (Though hoping it'll be a good one!)

I think I'll expect some Wii U update news from this. Hopefully some unexpected features... (Come on purchases tied to accounts and achievements!)

As for 3DS...
Hopefully AA5 release date...? Maybe PL VS AA news? Maybe Azran legacy news..?

I dont have high expectations for much Wii U related news, which is disappointing really, but Nintendo have every possibility to pleasantly surprise me.
Only things that are in my head Wii U wise are perhaps a price drop/ambassador program news and the Wii U update news...
Other than that I suppose Wii U Fit/Wii U party(?) news, neither of which I care about.

They have always done that in recent times though, with the exceptionnof E3. I think 2 days before is always the earliest.

Hasn't every Direct they've done, with the exception of the E3 Direct, typically been announced a day before airing?

This doesnt seem much different.

We normally only get one or two days notice, this isn't that surprising.

We get more days when there is a big announcement. The pre-E3 direct was an exception.

I could've sworn the previous ones, except the one last month were announced at least 2 weeks before they happened.

Hoping we'll get an update on Miiverse for the 3DS.

Read the actual announcement? :\

For the most part, they've been handling them like this for a while now. They have been announcing most of them within about a day...or in some cases that day.
Click to expand...

Ah didn't notice that.

So just updates then, no surprises huh? :/

Save for the possible Pilotwings character in Smash I guess.

Nope. The only Direct ever announced more than a day or so in advance was the E3 one.

Nope. Outside of E3, very rare to get a ND heads up more then 2 days. I think some of the early ones from late 2011 were like that though.

Don't the Directs that are both announced ahead of time and are worldwide generally contain at least one new announcement?
Click to expand...

Yeah, which makes me think there will be some sort of non-game announcement. I expect another Direct next month with new game announcements.

These things never end well. I literally expect them to talk about W101 and maybe some 3DS stuff. I don't expect anything more. Hopefully it streams better than e3 direct.

Please remind me the when was last Nintendo Direct without new announcement?
Yes, before 2013, now every normal direct (not mini) got some new announcements. And it's a Worldwide Direct too, there is still hope.
Price drop + Ambassador V2.0 incoming

The big Direct for announcements of new games for the next year is usually around Sept/Oct right? Generally around TGS iirc.
