Nintendo of America just recently announced that they will be holding a Nintendo Direct press conference on Thursday, October 25 (today). If it seems like this is short notice...it is. Nintendo just made this announcement Wednesday evening via their Facebook page.
The conference is going to start at 7AM Pacific/10AM Eastern. This Nintendo Direct is going to focus on the holiday lineup for the Nintendo 3DS. They also announced that they will show a sneak peek of some games that are set to be released in 2013. Some games you might see include: Fire Emblem Awakening, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon.
Here is what Nintendo said on their Facebook page:
"Tune in to Nintendo.com tomorrow at 7AM PT for a new Nintendo Direct! We’ll be taking an in-depth look at several announced Nintendo 3DS games coming this holiday season, and there might even be a sneak peek at a few 2013 titles"
Nintendo just recently announced that the sales of the 3DS were lower in North America than expected. Maybe if they didn't wait until the last second to announce press conferences and hold them in the early morning when many people are at work or school, sales would increase because people would actually get to hear about the upcoming games.
