This one focuses on first-party and third-party software.

Nintendo will host a second Wii U Nintendo Direct for Japan tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET (7 a.m. PT/11 p.m. JST), focusing on first-party and third-party software. This will start at the same time as the North American and Europe events.

This is the second Japan Nintendo Direct announced in the past 24 hours. The first one will focus on the launch details of the Wii U, and is happening at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT later tonight/tomorrow.

It can be assumed that this second presentation will contain new information regarding Wii U games that will probably be revealed simultaneously across the three regions. We have no idea whether it will be more details on games we already know about, or brand new games. Previously, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has hinted about announcing Wii U titles for 2013 in the fall. Super Smash Bros. developer Masahiro Sakurai did retweet Nintendo's tweet about the second Nintendo Direct, but that does not 100% confirm that there will Smash Bros. information.

Check our live blog to find out the latest information, kicking off at 3 a.m. ET, then taking a break for a few hours before the action starts up again at 10 a.m. ET.

This is incredible, 3 at once!


But Japan gets 2?!  :Q

This to me really indicates there are going to be significant announcements coming from this event. Good move by Nintendo to do the big ones simultaneously so they don't have to worry NCL stealing NOA's thunder. Whatever chances I had of keeping my expectations low are gone, and now I'm dreaming of all kinds of games they might be announcing in the morning. I can't wait, just 7 hours and change before the big event!

Poor NWR, split focus!
Good thing you have just a few folks working on these events, eh? ;D
