You may have noticed that Nintendo Everything and Gaming Everything were down for a couple of hours. We encountered a very, very annoying bug. I believe we’ve tracked that down once and for all, but that obviously doesn’t help us out today.

I’ll be posting a few updates on both sites now. Austin will be taking over in a bit. This obviously messes things up for the day, but at least we shouldn’t encounter any more issues of this kind going forward.

Update: Official PR is posted below.

Nintendo UK posted a message on its Twitter account moments ago confirming a Wii U Nintendo Direct for Europe this Thursday. The news was shared by Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata.

According to the tweet, the presentation will be shown at 4 PM CEST.

The message states:

“Hi everyone! I’d like to invite you to watch the Nintendo Direct Wii U Preview, Thu 13th Sep at 4pm CEST at http://t.co/EUbUkLDg”

Nintendo of America will be holding a press conference in New York City this Thursday to reveal various Wii U launch details. It doesn’t sound like a media event is planned for Europe, but there could be a Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo’s Spanish division has supposedly confirmed that the broadcast will be streamed at 4 PM. NOE president Satoru Shibata may be hosting the presentation.

Gamereactor has strangely pulled its original article confirming the news. I’m not sure if that means some information slipped out a bit early, or if the entire story is fake. We’ll try to find out.

We’ve been waiting a long time for the eShop version of NightSky. The same applies to Cave Story.

Fortunately, Nicalis will soon confirm release dates for both eShop games. The company wrote on Twitter today that the news will be shared in a few days.

“We’re just a few days from confirming a release date for Cave Story on eShop. And NightSky, too!”

Let’s hope those two titles will hit the eShop soon. We’ve been waiting long enough!
