A new Nintendo Direct focusing on Nintendo 3DS will be broadcasted this Wednesday, April 17 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET, as announced by Nintendo of America. UPDATE: The Direct was also confirmed for Europe, too, at 3 p.m. GMT, which is the same time as the North American one.
Though no specifics were revealed, it has been stated that the showing is "focused on the latest information on Nintendo 3DS."
Uhm...that's not the console we need a direct for :(And Seconded.
Last year Nintendo was criticized for having a lousy E3, so now they're (apparently) saving most of their Wii U stuff for E3, and we complain that they're holding too much back. Reggie's right, we are insatiable.The difference here is:
Tease Metroid and let the two month boner until E3 begin.

Last E3 was a CONSOLE LAUNCH.
This E3 we have a whole gaming community drastically wanting to know why the WiiU even has a right to exist and whether their investment was really worth anything or was like speculating in the Greek Economy.
Its like everyone buying Natural Gas Water Heaters and the Natural Gas Pipes that were installed can't fill the demand for Natural Gas so now people are mad because they only occassionally get hot showers and the Gas Company is waiting to an arbitary time to calm their fears.

In before Broodwars does a Batman impression.
3. Nintendo announce plans to release a 3DS lite.
... and the Prime series hardly tore up the sales charts...
Metroid isn't what I would consider the "one more thing" title that would get everyone's attention... Other M was so hated on and the Prime series hardly tore up the sales charts...
Other M *was* a great "one more thing" title.
But the game is so hated now that "Other M 2" (which is what everyone is going to be worried about) would make a bad "one more thing" game.
If they are making a Metroid game that's exactly the kind of thing they should wait for the E3 press conference to reveal.They teased a bunch of Wii U games. Nintendo could tease a 3DS Metroid then drop the bomb dot com on a Wii U Metroid at E3.
As for the Prime series, I don't know why Prime 3 never really caught on, but Prime 1 was a million seller on the GameCube, which was impressive for its time and the install base of the GameCube. If Nintendo announced a Prime 4 as their "One more thing", it would at least get people interested in the possibility of buying a Wii U.
Let me clarify a few things:
1) I liked the Prime series. I have three copies of one, a copy of two, a copy of three and a copy of the Trilogy. And Hunters. And Pinball.
2) I liked MOM. Really enjoyed it - probably even more so than the Prime series.
With that said, Prime's sales were good. Heck, they were *great* by most standards. But, by Nintendo standards... Nintendo regularly has titles that sell 5 million or more copies. A million selling title is fine - but isn't something to sing home about for Nintendo.
A "One more thing..." for Wii U/E3 needs to be something huge and amazing.
Like Pokemon Wii U. Full-fledged X/Y follow-up, only for Wii U. Online play, exclusive Pokemon, crazy challenges, etc., etc.
Let me clarify a few things:Honestly I take a Pokemon Z which was the Console version of X/Y so I could play the game with my son.

Just want a Mario Golf release date, and hey here's a crazy thought, announcing more Game Boy/Game Boy Color /Game Boy Advance games that will be released on the eshop soon!
True, and Iwata reiterated today that GBA games would be coming to Wii U VC.Just want a Mario Golf release date, and hey here's a crazy thought, announcing more Game Boy/Game Boy Color /Game Boy Advance games that will be released on the eshop soon!
It's been almost 2 years since Nintendo said GBA games would not come to the 3DS eShop, I wonder when people will stop expecting it to happen?

I can see why you want to see the Mother/Earthbound series released in the Americas, but at this time we have no plans to release them in this market, either on disc or via download.
According to DSAdvance, when Yarton was asked for some hard facts on the potential redesign, he replied,"That's been rumoured, I don't know for how long, but we haven't got any plans at the moment. Nothing I know of."
Nintendo just emailed us the following announcement of the redesign of the Nintendo DS (dual screen) handheld.
It wasn't politics, it was about history (specifically something that happened 67 years ago). And it wasn't even politically related.Good God, Lemon... It was a joke...
What makes you think GBA games will come to Wii U rather than 3DS?It has been announced at least twice, most recently in today's Nintendo Direct by Iwata.

Nintendo of Europe, especially until a few years ago, has been generally clueless about things. And people in power being kept out of the loop is not new. The biggest example I can think of is Harry Truman not knowing about the building of the atomic bomb until he became president (and he had been the vice president).
