You're right to be excited

Today, we'll be getting a special 3DS-focused Nintendo Direct which will hopefully give us a better idea of what the rest of 2013 has in store for the popular portable console.

Nintendo of America will be broadcasting a special announcement at 7AM PT / 10AM ET. You can view the proceedings — along with our typically insightful and witty commentary — on this very page. Are we good to you guys or what?

While you're waiting, why not fill the comment section with your prediction, hopes, fears and dreams? What do you think Nintendo will announce today?
