Mr Shibata warming up

Nintendo Europe's regular series of Nintendo Direct online broadcasts gets another run out tomorrow afternoon at 1pm Central European Time/12pm midday UK Time.

Whereas February's show was a translated version of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata's Japanese presentation, this time around it'll be a unique broadcast hosted by Nintendo Europe president Satoru Shibata.

Expect updates on upcoming 3DS titles Mario Tennis Open and Fire Emblem: Awakening and maybe — just maybe — Paper Mario, Animal Crossing and Professor Layton 5. We can but hope.

There's a Japanese Nintendo Direct show tonight, scheduled for 11pm Eastern Time, which should give us some heads-up of what to expect for Europe.
