Itās been a while since we were last able to tune into a Nintendo Direct broadcast. Six months, in fact, before the sad passing of Nintendoās president Satoru Iwata.
Because of Iwataās large role in the broadcasts, it wasnāt entirely clear whether or not they would continue, but, good news, it looks like they are! The broadcast which will be on November 12th at 10pm GMT will be hosted by Nintendoās European president Satoru Shibata, who confirmed his role in a tweet.
[Shibata] I hope you will join me for a new #NintendoDirectEU with updates on upcoming #WiiU & #3DS games on 12/11! pic.twitter.com/Fgz4oFWNQO

Shibata has promised updates on upcoming 3DS and WiiU games, so weāre likely to get some information on the upcoming Mario Tennis game and Xenoblade Chronicles X. But having been so long away, weād love a bigger announcement, something we donāt already know about. Weāre not expecting anything to do with the upcoming NX, but maybe a bit more information on that Pikmin 4 game weāve been hearing of? Then again, thereās not been much fanfare over Direct starting back up again, so perhaps Nintendo are intending more of a return to business as usual approach, rather than a grand re-launch.
