Nintendo of Japan will host a new Nintendo Direct presentation today at 8PM JST (around 4AM PST for North American readers, and 12PM BST for those of you in UK).
The presentation is expected to focus on both the Wii U and 3DS, and will last around an hour. It will be followed by a selection of trailers.
We're going to be live-blogging (or whatever it's called these days) the event, so be sure to keep your eyes on this page.

And that's a wrap!
By the way, Iwata worked on this game!
(LAUGHS)
They're going to play Balloon Fight now!
Joking aside, this is amazing. Very, very cool to see Iwata taking part in stuff like this. Could you ever have seen Hiroshi Yamauchi doing anything similar? Not a chance!
Looks like all the (laughs) has corrupted that last image! Sorry about that
(Laughs)
(Laughs)
Iwata on Game Centre!
Looks great though! We got to play this at Eurogamer Expo. Very nice indeed.

Going to be interesting to see how Phoenix deals with Layton's world...looks like everything from magic to witches and monsters is included!
Excitement for this game rapidly increasing.
Looks like Phoenix will be getting involved with Layton puzzles, and vice versa!
Layton and Phoenix!
Lots of cool AR features there...
New Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game for 3DS
POKEMON KLAXON.
EX Troopers offers up to six player games. Amaze!
So bummed we're not getting this is the West. SAD FACE.
EX Troopers next!
Nintendo are addressing the issue of losing game data on SD cards, it would seem
Want so bad!
You'll be able to buy download game cards from shops, we like!
GURLS MODE. This is what you've all be waiting for, right?
Nintendo Town in Animal Crossing looks like the kind of place WE want to live. FOREVER.
Animal Crossing has broken the stream! Wait, we're back!
Words cannot describe how much we need this game.
Animal Crossing stuff now
NSMB2: Pack 4: Golden Mushrooms, Pack 5: Record Challenge B
New Super Mario Bros 2 Coin Dash details now...
Gurutto Splash is the Fluidity sequel's name in Japan!
Hold it the right way around, Iwata-san!
Crashmo looks like Pushmo but the blocks actually fall down now. We can't wait!
Crashmo is looking sweet!
That bit at the beginning is to confirm that Jam With The Band is 3DS-bound. Remember the DS version?
POLYGON IWATA.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand we're off!

Is your body ready?

To watch or not to watch...
Thanks for the live updates.
Hopefully we'll get some interesting news tonight.
Nothing on so I think I'll check this out.
My body is ready! Not that I will understand much of this!
I'll watch a few minutes.
I'm going to watch it while I'm having endless card battle in Chocobo Tales.
A new Jam With the Band? Didn't se that coming.
Polygon Iwata? The machines are taking over people! Sky Net is live!
Good to see IRL Iwata again.
Still sad to see you don't toss babies at the end of each level anymore in Crashmo. Drove my pregnant wife nuts how I kept yelling, "Toss the baby time" whenever I beat Pushmo level. "Toss the bird" doesn't have the same effect.
I love wasting work days like this!
Girls mode, that's what will be better than finding NES titles in an Animal Crossing game.... not.
I hope we don't have to play as Pikachu in the new Mystery Dungeon D:
I want Mystery Dungeon, NOW!
@skyluigi: You can also use Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott or Axew as your main character. Read it from Serebii few weeks ago.
I have to say that the 3D cell-shaded look in Layton Vs Phoenix looks brilliant imo. It's about as spot on as any cell-shaded game has got the look imo.
Konichiwa Shu Takumi!!!
Oh god, the music!
Hurry up with this BS and get to the wii u!
Boring old games, nothing new from Nintendo.
^ Really? -.-
BUT PROFESSOR LAYTON AND PHOENIX WRIGHT
Inazuma looks like my type of fotbal. Much more intresting.
FANTASY LIFE ZOMG
@Mahe This was mostly about their upcoming holiday games. Expecting much in the way of new games would be foolish.
DQ could be a fun MMO if it makes it over here...
Luigi's mansion looked brilliant! I'm really excited for that one.
Could someone tell me what is happening?
Hai. Hai. Hai. Hai.
Didn't Iwata program Ballon FIght by himself?
Is the 3ds ever going to get online support for anything again though? It seems like all of the great releases of the future don't have it. It may be portable but that doesn't mean it couldn't benefit from it...
Iwata and the Kacho. That's a WIN if ever i've seen one!
↑ There is a wonderfull selection of games and you complain about Online?
I wanted to see Iwata wear a cooling pad
Eshop europe is down for maintenance. i just received my spot pass notificatiob bout the 4th and the 5th dlc packs for NSMB2
The way Fantasy Life looks makes me think it's a cross between Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest.
Awesome! I'm a huge fan of Game Center CX (I've seen nearly every subbed episode on youtube). I really hope one of the subbing teams out there subs the GCCX section of the Nintendo direct. Heck I'd love the whole thing subbed
Daigasso band brothers 3D!? Awww now I really want a Japanese 3DS
