Like the man said, this is no joke.

The next Nintendo Direct will air on April 1st at 6pm ET/3pm PT for North America, midnight on April 2 in Europe, and 7am in Japan. Wii U and 3DS games are both slated to be discussed, and a Treehouse Live will air immediately following the Direct.
Keep it tuned to NWR for all of the breakdown of the Direct announcements.
As for the Direct itself, with it coming on the heels of the Zelda delay I think we're going to get teased with some Zelda & Star Fox footage as some form of damage control. The main focuses of the Direct will probably be Splatoon and Yoshi's Wooly World, since both of them should be out soon. I can't imagine we'll see new game announcements this close to the E3 Direct, though.

Didn't Nintendo say that Zelda won't be at E3? If they could show Zelda footage at a Direct why couldn't they have a new trailer at E3? I figure we won't see anything of Zelda for a while now.
If it's damage control for Zelda, I can't wait to see what laughably bad holdover they consider is satiating.

Note the wording: Zelda won't be "at" E3. That doesn't mean they can't throw out some footage of it.
The exact wording of Aonuma's message was "we've decided to not show the game at this year's E3." If they went out of their way to specify that, it seems unlikely that there'll be any footage, unfortunately.

No NX, No mobile, No Club Nintendo successor(though there will be a mention of the final rewards), no mobile, no Zelda, No Fire Emblem If, no Metriod, no items, Fox only, Final Destination.Lulz. Quoting in case people just skim through your post and miss this.
Now for the predictions that have zero chance of happening
- Fatal Frame 5 localization announced.
- First (and only) batch of DS Virtual Console on Wii U games announced and dated.
- SMTxFE gets a new teaser trailer and the world collapses slowly around me.
