Nintendo has announced that a new Nintendo Direct will be available to watch on March 3, 2016– which just so happens to be tomorrow.
The North American broadcast will provide updates on Wii U and 3DS titles which are currently set for release during summer 2016.
There will also be a European presentation which will focus on Nintendo games that are coming this spring and summer. As Europe has yet to experience the hugely popular Fire Emblem Fates games, it is quite likely that Nintendo will use this to provide more details on a European release date.
While many had hoped that Nintendo would provide more details on the anticipated NX, Nintendo’s website explicitly states that the Nintendo Directs will not include any updates on either NX or mobile. As the broadcasts are only focusing on summer games, it is also unlikely that more details will be revealed about the recently announced Pokémon Sun and Moon either.
The American presentation will air at 2 pm PT, 5 pm ET, while its European counterpart will air at 10 pm in the UK and 11 pm in Europe.
Will you be watching the broadcast live tomorrow? Sound off in the comments the games that you are most hoping to hear more about.

Wow. After seeing Chibi Samus, I’m even more turned off by the terrible art style of Federation Force than before. The mechs in that new Kirby game look less cuddly-wuddly. Maybe I felt something like this when Wind Waker was announced, and I got over that, but just… eww. So bad. So very very bad.
The rest of the direct, I was pretty happy with. Looks like some great times ahead. (I still can’t make any sense of the pop-singer Fire Emblem crossover, but whatever.)
Yeah, not exactly happy with the art style either. I’m hoping the gameplay will overcome that, though. Usually does. Gotta keep an open mind, gotta keep…
Other than that, ND was pretty great (other than STILL NO WORD ON ZELDA!) But I can’t wait for Bravely Second. Pre-ordering that CE right now! (Okay, so I may have an addiction, sue me).
P.S. That pop-singer thing; that was Shin Megami Tensei. That’s the crossover they’ve been talking about for months.
Anyone see that SNES games are coming to New 3DS ONLY? The bigger question: if I already have some of those titles on Wii U will I have to pay to “upgrade” again? Or worse still, will I have to buy them again outright? What a bunch of bullshit if any of this turns out to be true. Nintendo is so far out of touch it’s scary. I’m cautiously optimistic, but…
Update: OF COURSE you can’t transfer your Wii U purchases of SNES games to the New 3DS. OF COURSE. Nintendo has really jumped the shark, and betrayed trust. It just keeps happening.
