Earlier today we brought you the news that there's a special NicoNico Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS broadcast taking place on 12th September, during which it seems there'll be some final reveals ahead of the title's release in Japan. An announcement from Nintendo of America suggests that it's keen to share final details of the brawler — and more games besides — in its own way, as there'll be an eight hour Nintendo Treehouse broadcast on the same day.
No specific times have been given yet, but as you can see in the tweet below it'll all be on Nintendo's Twitch Channel this Friday.
The promise of footage of upcoming games on Wii U and 3DS is tantalising, naturally, especially for those that remember the Treehouse team's excellent efforts during E3. It's the promise of final build coverage of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS that catches the eye, however, as it'll no doubt deal with any final details that will become public knowledge the moment the title lands in Japan.
We'll be covering news from the NicoNico video, while also live blogging and streaming the Treehouse broadcast right here on Nintendo Life when it takes place this Friday. Are you excited about what we could see? Let us know in the comments below.

Just tipped this. I am so psyched!!!
I wonder if these are going to be like the new Nintendo Directs. I certainly wouldn't mind! Also hoping for a Kirby Air Ride 2 announcement. I guess I like disappointment!
@mystman12 Don't hope for Kirby Air Ride 2, I don't think it'll end well!
@ThomasBW84 Well, I hoped for City Trial in Smash and Greninja, and look what we got!
YYYYEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
At this time I hope there are open lobbies with no friend codes (unlikely) and Glory Mode will be Stock/Time with no Sudden Death at time out (person with less % and more stick wins).
I just wish for a Smash 3DS Demo outside of Japan >:/...
OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!!!!
So, much, yes. Let's see some character reveals.
I hope we find out the courses in the Yoshi Egg Cup on this stream and how Wario's Gold Mine has been adapted to include antigravity.
Yeah, some obvious details need addressing- the photo mode (although todays pic of the day confirms its back), online details, and smash run confirmation- 5 minutes training for 2 minutes firghting seems like a wasted opportunity. Oh, and some more customisable moves.
This is going to be awesome!! Glad NoA is fueling up the hype train again!
I'm hyped! for something...
Can't imagine watching Twitch for 8 hours - I don't care what they're showing - but I am looking forward to a very nice recap and lots of clips here on NL on Friday night
Why
[flails his arms around and bumps his shoulder on the wall]
friday
[flails his arms around again and bumps his shoulder on the other wall]
takes
[does the same with another wall]

[slams his forehead on the wall]
[breathes in] LONG!
[slams again]
TO!
[slams again]
[screaming in anguish] CCCCOOOOOOOME?!?!
[faints]
GET HYPED
8 hrs is a longtime don't think I'll be watching all of that but will definitely catch the smash footage.
I sensing some restructuring on how Nintendo will be bring the news DIRECTLY to us, if the e3 and single game directs are of any indication.
Hmm... I was hoping for some surprises when I get Smash Bros, as in the only spoilers would come from things Japanese players post online so I just would have to tread carefully... but if Nintendo of America is officially revealing every feature of the game, all my friends will know anyways, so I guess this time there will be no surprises... Disappoints me, but oh well. I can still hope one of my less likely character hopefuls are revealed, like King K. Rool or Geno... Maybe that's expecting too much, but I hope there's still a few more newbies outside of the one revealed in the leak that I could care less about.
Of course, I still am hoping for nearly all the other veterans to return.
What if- and I know this is a long shot- there are additional characters that won't be "released" until the Wii U version? I know they said both games will have the same lineup, but they could sidestep that by making them unlockable by connecting the 3DS version to the Wii U, or have them not be accessible until the date the Wii U version is released, or even free DLC for the 3DS on the day the Wii U title comes out? I know, it's a ridiculous long shot, just throwing out a theory...
DOES EVERYONE HAVE THEIR NINTENDO HYPE TRAIN TICKETS READY?! ALL ABOARD!
All joking aside, should be interesting...
That's pretty cool. Not as cool as old Directs, but certainly beats the single-game presentations that have sadly become the norm lately.
there goes my Sat!
For all those people with a spare 8 hours. Do you remember when Nintendo were secretive? Can't get them to stop talking these days. I'll probably wait to see all the game footage by actually playing the game itself when it comes out without having already seen everything (it's a crazy thing we used to do in the 90s).
Maybe they will announce a new Mario game
I think I've reached that painful part of hype where I'm like "just launch the darn game already!". I usually like the slow build but fingers are twitchy for the buy now button on amazon.
This was a nice surprise! The Treehouse crew was such a great team at E3. Nice to see them again. I wonder if the MK8 DLC courses for November will be revealed, perhaps?
Great, but what time on Friday?
I cant spend 8 hours in front of my computer, but it will probaly be great ^^ maybe we get mother 3
...Eh, guess there's no escape from spoilers huh, something tells me Treehouse is going to do it...bleh. TwT
Just announce Marshal and give us a new Rhythm Heaven game already! Seriously, what has TNX been doing this entire time? xD
I wonder what time this starts.
My predictions of what we'll see besides Smash:
-Final footage for Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2 (outside of launch trailers)
-Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 1
-Fantasy Life
-Pokemon ORAS (new Mega Evolutions.... that will probably be revealed in Corocoro this week anyway?)
-Persona Q
-Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
-Affordable Space Adventures
-Some VC game coming soon (think Murasame Castle at Comic-Con)
As for Smash...... New character reveal? Veteran reveal? A bunch of Smash Run gameplay? Bill's tears?
@ShadJV I honestly hope you wont have to connect to the wiiu version to unlock anything since I don't have a wiiu
@SanderEvers
It's not necessarily about revealing secret footage or story. For something like this for example I would just personally try and avoid seeing exhaustive footage of every stage, every character, every move, every item, etc. But that's just me, if people these days want to see so much excessive footage of a game that by the time it comes out they're more bored by it than excited, that's fine (though I would question whether they actually want to, or whether they just consume whatever's put in front them without thought). It's hard to avoid in the age of information overload, but for me, a few short trailers is where I stop to ensure maximum excitement when the game is finally released.
Does anyone know if you can record twitch videos? I'm probably gonna miss it for important family stuff.
By calling it a "final build" it sounds like they would reveal the whole roster and stages
Nintendo is lame.... Just kidding! Give me ten tickets for the hype train!
@superKsonic48 The Twitch videos are available on demand after the event so you shouldn't need to worry.
@Grumblevolcano Much appreciated
I'm excited but unfortunately I won't be able to catch it when it happens because of a party, definitely going to check it out afterwards if I can.
What I want them to show:
Star Fox
Metroid
F-Zero
N64 VC
GC VC
What they will show:
Exactly the same thing from E3 plus new characters for Smash
@CaptMcCloudAran
Yea. Probably the same thing over again. Probably a surprise reveal if they want to.
Just confirm Isaac playable, that is all I want
U think the new 3DS will be shown?
Nope. Not being spoiled. I will take no part in this. The way Nintendo has been recently they'll show every character, assist trophies, and trophies during the 8 hours.
@Mega719 Something tells me they will be playing the same demo that was in Japan these last couple days, just in English. I don't think they'll reveal all of the characters, though they might reveal one.
It doesn't matter though because we will know the full roster that day anyway as it will have released in Japan by that time.
@IceClimbers i know i'm just joking but still this is a bad choice of words. Crossing my fingers for Duck Hunt
People here should note that this live stream is not just about Smash, so quit crying about and think about other upcoming games that will sure grab our attention.
@Azooooz The reason why people are being this way is simply due to what happened at the E3 and SDCC streams. Over half of both streams was solely Smash so if they follow the same setup, probably at least 5 out of the 8 hours of gameplay will be Smash.
Damn this is awesome,but i hope i don't forget or i get really busy with something and miss it.
Looking forward to this. Once I get home, it's me and the computer!
@Mega719 That's probably who they would reveal. Either that or Bowser Jr. One of the two.
My body & soul is ready. Bring it on!
8 hours with special focus on Smash 3DS? Holy hell. I'm going to miss most of this of course because life but I'll definitely catch up on it when I have the chance!
Hooray for no classes on Friday!!!!
Ah...i have the week off....its great to be me sometimes!
@IceClimbers Why would they use a localized demo when they say they will show the final build? With the launch date so close, I'd guess Smash 3DS is even available to reviewers now or very soon.
What time firday does this start for australia?
They will show stuff from E3, Smash characters and maybe a new game
Plus MK8 DLC trailer
Yeaaah i want a MK8 dlc trailer!!
[MOST LIKELY STUFF]
Mario Maker
MK8 DLC
Smash
N64 and GCN VC for Wii U
VB and SNES VC for 3DS
Splatoon
Starfox
Yoshi: WW
New Zelda
and Kirby: Rainbow Curse.
Well I'll definitely tune in at the beginning to get an idea of how it is going to work. I'm sure how much new stuff I can expect. I'm sure we will get the 2 new levels of C. Toad that have been demoed and probably a tonne of Bayonetta.
I would like to know when the stream starts though.. need to determine how early I should get up!!
New tweet. It is at 10AM PT time
Can someone please tell me when this is streaming for australia!!!
