My understanding this particular Direct would be week after next, early that week. That was the plan for this particular direct, so evidently they moved it so it can be during E3 itself...interesting. I'm still thinking there may be a smaller Mini direct week after next though. So as to not spill the beans, ill share what I believe will be the contents of this Dorect along with a few tidbits about each thing. It's going to be a largely Wii U Direct. These aren't in any particular order of actual showing, rather its going by what things people want to hear the most about.

1. Retro: Finally after at least a few years development, their game is finally ready to be unveiled. What is it? It's an old Nintendo IP that people have wanted them to do for a while, but no one thought they had the guts to do it-but they did. I'm very happy with the one they chose to do. It'll definitely fall into that "Wooooo helllll yeah!!!" category for a vast majority I think. Trailer set to be shown at the Direct.

2. Mario....wow is everyone in for a really huge treat with this!!! I know the exact title of the latest adventure. Everything's been so vague hint wise so ill say something a little more exact about it. That 100 Year Guy is right on one thing-it's an enormously large, grand adventure in scope and size. Development began on Wii, not too long after Galaxy 2 was done. This adventure brings together a lot of levels, concepts, ideas, level types, mechanics and characters people have been begging for a long time for. Maybe you'll finally see Wart again this time ;) it makes very clever, imaginative use of the game pad but its definitely not forced. You can certainly play with traditional controls. Trailer and a giid look at game play on the Direct. Release set for late October. This October.

3. Zelda. First the bad news..it's a mid 2015 title at the soonest. They are debating between middle and Thanksgiving/Christmas 2015. Aim is to have most of if not all the game to look like that tech demo from 2 years ago. Story is the longest and grandest in the series. You MAY see some brief concept art at this E3 but they're looking more to fully unveil it early next year. They're debating between a few ideas as well as concepts and which they want to use. They want a familiar yet really fresh take on this for everyone. How soon you'll get it depends on that. They may again make a brief mention at this direct with the understanding it's still too early to show. No exact title yet. Just Zelda Wii U ATM.

4. Mario Kart U....this mighta changed but last impression I got from it is its basically a souped up Mario Kart 7...literally. Think that, online play if course and Miiverse integration slapped in. It should be out in time for this Christmas 2013. Aim was to bring out something for the U that's on the safe side that's guaranteed to help jump start the U. Some added tweaks and whistles here and there. Trailer plus some gameplay at the Direct.

5. Super Smash Bros. 4...As promised by Mr. Iwata and Reggie, it will finally be unveiled during this Direct. What you're about to see is...odd. How to describe...there will be an unveil trailer, and during this trailer a few characters in the. Roster will be announced. All the others are black shadowy silhouettes. You should get a good idea who some of them are, others will be "Who the hell's that supposed to be!?" The full roster will be gradually unveiled from now till release. Release is aiming for Thanksgiving 2014. It might slip to closer to Christmas though. The aim is to launch both the 3DS and U games same day, so they'll do what it takes to get that to happen. This is the big 2014 game for Nintendo. 3DS version is further along than the U one. That one will also be shown on th Direct. Some parts of U version done, others still cooking. Coding, etc set to start in earnest this fall. It looks great ;)

6. General Wii U...possibly price cut, they really would rather not but they understand this nay be the only way to re jump start it. Possible Ambassador Program 2, looking at a few neat ideas for that. They will attempt one last time to very clearly communicate what the U is and isn't. They want to get people excited again and show good value.

X and Yarn Yoshi will have trailers. Both 2014 games. SMT x Fire Emblem is still too soon to show, but it's a really weird ass collaboration project-will be in a good way for fans of both,

One final huge surprise.,.its both a oh hell this makes sense and with kind of thing rolled into one. The aim is to introduce it fully in Fall of Winter. Timing still being decided. May or may not be announced at the Direct.

That's all for your Nintendo stockings, see you all after E3 ;)

Do you really know something or is this just your speculation?

I know enough to spoil their whole E3 now but I won't. People here could use some good surprises right now and ill not ruin that. I never throw my sources under a bus. Ever. People will be very happy come E3. Really all I can say.

Why not? Who says you have to throw your source under the bus? You've already teased enough information to get into trouble, assuming this is true.

You do know that if you're right I'll be so fu**ing happy! And I would support Nintendo even more.

Wow, you'd think Sylvia Browne would give it up after that girl she said was dead in 2004 was found alive in Cleveland.
 
I'm sure those trailers have already been cut and submitted (especially since they have given a date for the Nintendo Direct) but I wouldn't believe anyone who says they have seen them.

This Nintendo Direct starts as soon as I leave the exam hall. 1-3. Glad I live on campus, should be able to get back to my room to watch it.

Do we know where Iwata records these? We should sent an anti-bomb dog squad there, I'm dying to know how many of them there are.

This wait will kill me.

I am intrigued by the possible length of this conference/direct.

Depends on how they break it down, but if its just one big Nintendo Direct for all their E3 reveals, I would imagine it would have to be at least 60 minutes long.

They not only have to save face and present some words for hope to their own investors/fans, they have tons of 1st party titles to show (if they really are showing future projects in addition to the ones to be released this year), but I would imagine that despite putrid 3rd party support they will want to take the time to highlight whatever 3rd party support they are getting.

Very intrigued, excited, but mainly nervous about Nintendo never really learning and fumbling their way into more trouble.
 
Doesn't really suprise me about the date and all. I was honestly expecting the next one to be around the 7th anyways. I'm really excited to see the new Mario, Sonic, Zelda, and so on games, I can't wait.

This thread got interesting fast.

I was so sure the Retro game would be metroid..

Well if what you posted is true then everything is good except for Mario Kart, loved 7 but I was expecting something more, I'll wait and see the direct before drawing conclusions
 
You know, I hope they don't spend too long talking about New Leaf, as it releases two days before this direct. I mean I'd love some highlights, and I plan to pick NL up anyways, but I'm more excited for new games that we haven't seen yet.
