Nintendo Europe and Nintendo of America today announced a new global edition of Nintendo Direct. The broadcast will take a look at the line-up of games coming for Wii U this spring and summer and will be streamed from the Nintendo Direct website tomorrow, 17th May from 3pm BST and 7 a.m. PT.
Please note that details of Wii U releases scheduled for autumn and beyond are to be announced in a separate Nintendo Direct broadcast around the time of the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June.
Update: Nintendo of America press site says it will also feature 3DS games. Nintendo Europe says it’s a Wii U focussed event.
Lol. I spoke too soon.
Excellent. :)
Mario Kart U are you there???
That’ll be the next Direct that happens during E3. =) This is for Spring/Summer titles (Pikmin 3, etc.)
They’ll probably won’t announced anything for Mario Kart U cause it was confirmed to show it at E3. The only things will probably get on this Direct is more information on stuff we already know like more Virtual Console games or Pokemon Rumble U etc.
I just want wind waker HD footage
me 2!
Me 3!
Oh god. Who let Moon Moon in here?
English is not my first language.
You got me to browse the web.
Now I know what you mean.
lol lol lol
lol 9gag the post about wolf names?
Yes like dungeons
Hopefully a release date for W101 will be announced so they dont have to waste their time showing it during their Wii U E3 Directs.
Lets the games begins
Why always so early ? I’m always on my way to work while the stream these :P
Right??
What about me? I already set the alarm for 3:50 AM. My wife will kill me. lol
Lol. And i gonna be in the way to home. In subway probably. Grrrr
Nice, what time in EU?
Finally!!!
Got it its 16:00 berlin time
I knew it would be this week!!!!!!!!!!! So excited!!!!!!!!!!!
Just saw it was for spring/summer titles only. Got a little too excited there.
They still may hint at something in the future.
Don’t ruin it for us Mike S ! PS – I’m a coming for you on that weekly challenge ;)
I am way ahead of you nintedward… try catch me. I need mikeS NNID. I wanna see how we are ranked on that game.
Oh I know , you’re kickin ass bro. But here me out…. I aint been able to play ti much cus i’ve been working and busy.
but when I have time with it in the past I was getting like 500th in the weekly challenge (roughly) and about 700th in the daily challenges (roughly).
I saw your 16 seconds on the weekly challenge. Why you be cheatin Venomjam :P
Nah am not cheating…… I am a genius at platforming that’s all. I also works too. But when I get home I play and try to beat all my friends before going to bed. :D. Come at me bra….. let me see what you can do. :D
That direct is airing at Norway’s national day, so I will have to wait until saturday to watch it…
Either way you will still see it. :)
Is that “3pm BST” supposed to be eastern? You might want to fix that sickr.
No, BST is British Summer Time :-)
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
fail fagit
Seriously? Not to nark on you nark but you spelled faggot wrong and how in the hell is Mike S a “faggot”? Retarted troll.
OH SHIT.
Word….
You can never go wrong with a Simpsons referrence :)
I thought it was appropriate xD
Man back when The Simpsons was the shit. I hear its gotten better in recent years but the first decade and a half were the best by far
I know man, i was just watch some old stuff now, i havent so hard in a while.
I’m not even from London.
lets hope for some game play footage for Wind waker HD !.
Hoping for Wind Waker HD too, as well as the expected Pikmin 3, W101, Yarn Yoshi, and a few 3rd party announcements.
Hopefully a lot of 3rd party announcements!!! Hopefully Nintendo will be Partnering with precursor games to fully support the development for Shadow of the Eternals! That would make the wait worth while!
Hopefully a lot of FIRST party announcements. Nobody’s buying a Wii U to play ports of PS3 and Xbox 360 games.
– And Nintendo isn’t partnering with Precursor Games for Shadow of the Eternals 2. There would be a kickstarter if Nintendo was planning that.
there is a kick starter now
sweeeeeeeeeeeeet
Oh shit! Tommarow? Awesome!
was this the prediction of 100 years old gamer?
He sayed one on the 30th. Maybe he means the E3 Directs star then and these are tying up loose ends and announcing new games or game details for summer and spring. Good thing im out of school tomorrow!
The 17th? Cool.
Oh wait… it’s tomorrow!!!
Nah it will be streamed on May 17th, so that is the next Fri… No… wait a minute… Mother of videogames! It is tomorrow! Oh God! OHH GOD!!!
Opinion they should have had the direct on the 20 th or 21 st it would eclipse the nextboxs apprearance draw away media and fans, stupid date these announcements wil’t be erilelant after the conference the micro is bringing
For anyone else on the east coast the Direct starts at 10am.
thanks mike! I’m so excited!! I hope we get a release date for wonderful 101
also 9am central time, doesnt anybody knno how to figure it out by themselves?
When is it on in Australia? Its already the 17 th over here, and I’m as pumped as hell
Thank you :) I was wondering.
sounds cool to me
what time would that be in central time zone
9AM.
Cool.. Hopefully we get a release date for the Wonderful 101, Deus Ex, and the summer update for the Wii U. It’s very interesting that they are doing this right before Microsoft unveils their next console on the 21st.
Nnintendo is planning to pull in press repeatedly. Basically they steer getting press and lose it on the 21st, get it back with a ND on the 30th, etc. And keep the spotlight on themselves even after e3. Its pretty ingenious. Lets see if it works
Yeah, not a bad idea. Instead of a huge knockout blow they are choosing to fight with a bunch of small flurries. It a strategy that may irritate people, but it works. Just ask Sugar Ray Leonard.
Or Óscar the la hoya.
My wallet is not ready… for a pikmin 3 release date.
My smooches are ready!! 💋
Write me a ten thousand page report on how awesome I am and I’ll buy you a copy :p just kidding I’m not that kool
But for pikmin free game i can make you president of any country that have a democratic polítical sistem.
They already gave the pikmin 3 release date for August… so you have plenty of time to prepare your wallet.
Awesome. Maybe Nintendo of Europe will finally explain what happened to our version of Scribblenauts Unlimited.
nyancat and keyboardcat creators got greedy.
*takes pants off*
Has anyone seen my blow up dolls?
I expect good news. fuck that! great news!
xenoblade 2 :)
Guys… Im waiting for super smash bros… !!!!!!!!!
EVERYTIME I WATCHING THE WHOLE THING TO HEAR THE MOST LITTLE FART ABOUT THE GAME!!!!!!
I really want to see the 3DS version badly! Since it will be portable and.
And im very curious to know how they will use the 3DS to work with the Wii U in this game.
Nintendo should unveil the 3DS version of SSB as late as possible. Don’t want to give All Stars plenty of time to copy for All Stars 2
Ok I see… Kinda dissapointing but it is a vaild point. Youre right.
I really don’t think nintendo is going to wow at E3. All those people that say “wait till E3” are going to be dissapointed. Theyll show a couple of cool games but not enough of them. Nintendo needs Huge news. Announce GTA coming to wiiu, something like that. Show something of major franchises they’re working on even if just a screenshot or announce it. I’m a nintendo fan so I want them to do well. If I only had money for one system I would not get a wiiu. I love sports but seems like none coming to wiiu. No madden, no tennis, no wwe, baseball, no golf. Fifa coming this year? I have ps3 360 vita 3ds xl wiiu. Love my wiiu and glad I bought it but I’m glad I have other systems for those not coming to it.
That sad moment when someone says revealing GTA coming to WiiU is bigger news than Retro’s game, 3D Mario or Smash Bros 4.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
All three of those are expected on the Wii U. GTA on the Wii U, however, is not; therefore, it is given more welcome than the other three.
Except all those games are better than GTA, it still doesn’t matter.
I know! Gta is fun for a few hours. Mowing down innocent bystanders and pimping hoes can only get you so far. IMO.
Who told you no wwe? Who ever was is a retard.
Ignoring that the Wii U is different from Wii which requires a GamePad, and they will also unveil some games that require two GamePads. Also ignoring that Nintendo is going to show us what that port underneath the GamePad is for. Also ignoring the GamePad’s NFC technology. Also ignoring that Wii Did will without Madden and Wii U can be a success too. And lastly ignoring that EA does not want to put games on Wii U.
Fuck yeah, I’m excited now!
I’m just relieved it’s not another 3ds direct….
Coming home from school at lunch just to watch this :3

This guy predicted all of this
Holy shit, enough with all the spam.
Changing your username isn’t fooling anybody.
Please don’t reiterate crap during the Direct. No, really, please. I mean it. I’m so serious right now as to how much I loathe the repetition of old announcements. It’s a Friday for when the news breaks out for us for crying out loud, so please don’t blasé the hell out of tomorrow!
Please don’t reiterate the same crap we’ve heard from previous Directs. Please, do not do this. It’s a Friday for my side when the Direct breaks out so please don’t make it boring.
Ignoring that Nintendo Directs are better than their press conferences.
So, 100 years old gamer was right again…..
Now this is the sort of article I like to see on this site!
So is this just a Wiiu games for spring and summer and then we get Unveils in another direct ?
I guess that this direct is for spring/summer titles such as Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Game and Wario, Wii Fit U, and eshop stuff. This way, they can save time for unnanounced games and games coming out winter and beyond for e3 :D
Yeah , makin way for the nuclear direct which comes at the same time as E3.
Mario , Metroid , Mario Kart , Zelda , etc *jizz hits screen*
Please, PLEASE let them show off Super Mario U.
WiiU Ambassador program ?
super mario galaxy 3?!
Thank God that I’m staying home tomorrow and watch Nintendo Direct. Who’s hosting it for Nintendo of America… the president and COO or the global president and CEO (or both, including Bill again)?
Finally.
Need Wind Waker Master Quest lol..
Really excited for this. Lately there has been a drought of good news for Nintendo since the last Nintendo Direct. Hopefully this one doesn’t disappoint. Honestly I’m really hoping for a Wonderful 101 release date.
expecting some release dates
Pingback: Kamiya Says The Wonderful 101 Will Appear On Nintendo Direct Tomorrow | My Nintendo News
Tomorrow, all hell will break loose. Is that too strong a metaphor?
Hell yeah, I am ready!!!!
Nintendo is prepairing his weapons.
Tomorrow is just the warming test.
After all the announcements earlier this year, this one is going to be epic. I can’t wait. I hope it stops some of the negativity against the Wii U.
im going into it with a i know its going to suck attitude. you sheep never learn!!!!!!!
You think everything is gonna suck.
Every Nintendo Direct this year has been filled with announcements and information that fans actually care about; They’ve actually been better than their last couple E3 conferences.
So what makes you think this one is “gonna suck”?
this will make me not disappointed….
For people who live in Australia, the Direct will be shown at May 18 at 2am
Which side in AUS do u live in? im in perth so it would probably be 2-4 hours behind you if you live in Sydney.
*Sets alarm clock to 8 am* My body is ready.
Another Nintendo Direct when I’m in bed. I’ll have to find out the news when I get back up.
