The first Nintendo Direct since the passing of Nintendo CEO and Nintendo Direct host Satoru Iwata will be taking place shortly. We have yet to find out who will be hosting the North American Nintendo Direct, but we do know that the NIntendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata will be hosting the Europe-aimed Direct.
As far as we know, this week's Nintendo Direct will provide updates on upcoming Wii U and Nintendo 3DS releases which could include information on Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and even some of next year's big titles like Hyrule Warriors Legends and Star Fox Zero.
There may be a mention of Nintendo's mobile game plans, although, that was not announced to take place during this Direct. Watch the Nintendo Direct with us in video stream below at 5PM ET:
