The Wall Street Journal, who attended Nintendo’s Financial Results press conference has advised that Kimishima, Nintendo’s newly appointed president, confirmed that there will be “at least one” Nintendo Direct this year.
Good news! Nintendo CEO Kimishima says Direct is alive, with at least one coming this year. https://t.co/tLvapAH7vL

When it will be is still unconfirmed, but the the desperation for a Nintendo Direct has been rising over the past few months since Satoru Iwata’s sad passing. Nintendo has announced various news over the weeks that would have normally fit into a Nintendo Direct, so it will be interesting to see what it will entail.
Praise the Lord.
It’ll be next month, probably. Just before holiday season.
Could be next week, Aonuma is in the next Famitsu Magazine on Nov. 7th talking about Zelda U in some way, so it could be around then.
Yeah, good point. They did say ‘at least one’. It seems too short-noticed to me, so I’m not getting my hopes up.
It won’t be the same without Mr. Iwata, but at least they will continue with what he started.
I always liked nintendo directs :’)
I agree. I don’t think it will ever be the same without him, but at least it will happen again :-)
Exactly, they will at least continue on the Direct’s which i think it’s pretty awesome and maybe they will mention him.
Same here. I don’t think Kimishima-san has the personality and Shigeru Miyamoto doesn’t speak real good English so that only leaves Reggie. He should definitely do the Directs from this point on, especially since he’s been doing them in the past with the late great Satoru Iwata for so long anyway but Mr. Iwata is simply irreplaceable. There will never be another like him
Great!
I just want a twilight princess hd release date.
and some of the new zelda footage would be nice.
If there is a Zelda direct it will likely be Aonuma hosting it, as he is the director over Zelda U.
There is no HD version IT WILL BE A PORT ON THE E-SHOP like Mario Galaxy 1 and 2.
Stop talking like you know it’s a fact.
The leaked list does say ‘HD’. Besides, none said it’s a retail title.
Hopefull there is.
Hopefully. It would be good to have both N64 Zeldas on the 3DS and both Gamecube Zeldas on the Wii U.
Told you.
Wow! The first Nintendo Direct since Iwata’s passing. I’m looking VERY forward to this.
That’s great and all, but who will be doing the Directs? The new CEO? Somebody very well known at the company? Satoru Shibata, who is in charge of the European Directs?
Satoru Shibata is in charge of the European Directs and Nintendo of Europe (he’s very shy, but those directs of him are getting better and better everytime) I see happening that the Directs will be split into region: Morimoto(Japan), Regie or Bill(USA) and Satoru Shibata(Europe)<–my favorite :P
If I think about Shibata I think about Iwata(In the way they handled the directs) so him in every region would be awesome(unlikely tho) and much more unlikely is Kimishima
I love how bill has become such an important public figure for Nintendo. I like the guy, there’s a certain charm go him.
I agree. If Nintendo ever decides to hire a American-born person to be the global president of their company it should be Bill Trinen. He has lived in Japan and speaks both Japanese and of course English fluently and he studied business in both America and Japan so he knows both cultures easily. I don’t know why he hasn’t got at least a consideration but then again maybe he has for all we know
>>>Maybe his lordship doesn’t want to>>>
That could be true
It was funny when they fake fired him on the ND and people actually thought he was fired… lol.
I’d like Shibata to handle both the European and Japanese directs (probably won’t happen) or Kimishima himself, at least this first time as a way of introducing himself to the dedicated consumers.
Direct is alive oooohhh thats a burn ha lol
I’m still all in for one Direct with Iwata’s puppet, as a goodbye
Nintendo puppet direct
Apparently there also changing the format of the Nintendo Direct as well… No details at this time though… According to WSJ
I hope it doesn’t deviate too much if that’s true.
Maybe it’ll include Mobile info…?
It feels odd every time anyone reports on the CEO of Nintendo and they don’t follow with Iwata. It still doesn’t sit right with me. Nothing against the new guy, but Iwata left an even bigger hole.
I have a feeling that they will make some kind of Iwata tribute in the Direct, at least I hope they do. I swear though if they put Iwata saying Directly to you or anything like that in the Direct, I will probably tear up. :”(
It will happen next month or so, I hope Nintendo direct will have some good news for Wiiu games and maybe NX, it will something special to the previous ones.
A Nintendo Direct is much needed and long overdue. Nintendo needs to address the rumors and issues about the new account system, the Twilight Princess situation, the Wii U’s price point and maybe an update on Pikmin 4 but in regards to any news about the NX, I think they’ll probably just remind us to stay tuned for next year by saying something like ” Get ready everyone for a major announcement about the future of Nintendo gaming in 2016 as we’ve stated before “, to get us all psyched and hyped up. I can’t wait to see what the latest Direct will have in store for us
Agreed. I need confirmation on Twilight Princess HD dang it!
Finally! Nintendo needs to release some new information regarding their holiday titles, as well as mention some new totles that have yet to be revealed.
