In addition to the Nintendo Direct, a presentation for one of Nintendo’s spring releases will be streamed by the Treehouse team.

Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct will kick off at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT. We’ll have a stream here on the site before it begins. Possibly a live blog as well!

We’re one step closer to the end of Club Nintendo. Once tomorrow has passed, you won’t be able to earn coins on the website any longer. Make sure to finish up any product registrations you have!

The Gold and Platinum rewards should hopefully be announced later this week. After that, there’s not much to look forward to. Mewtwo DLC is coming sometime this spring (make sure you register Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS before tomorrow ends), and that’s about it! But hey, Club Nintendo had a good run. And we’ll be receiving a new loyalty program down the road.

Nintendo is trying to put the kibosh on the fan-made Super Mario 64 Unity/HD remake. You may have noticed that one site, which previously hosted a playable browser demo, was slapped with a copyright infringement claim.

I suppose one bright spot is that the original remake post is still up and running on the creator’s website. It’s just tough for fan projects to survive when they’re based on content from game-makers!

Atlus posted an… interesting message on its Twitter and Facebook accounts today. Based on what was shared, it’s looking likely that we’re due for a localization announcement of Attack on Titan for 3DS soon.

Here’s what was added to Atlus’ social media pages today:

There are a couple of references to Attack on Titan here – notably the opening lyrics and one of the anime episodes.

Remember: Attack on Titan was rated in Australia a few months ago. When that listing popped up, Atlus was listed as publisher.

BoxBoy! hasn’t been dated just yet, but Nintendo has already started issuing download codes to the press. It’s pretty small, with just 644 blocks of free space required.

By the way, something else we’re hearing is that the BoxBoy! review embargo lifts on Wednesday. Perhaps the game will be seeing a surprise launch this week?

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Slightly Mad Studios and Bandai Namco have a bunch of free car DLC lined up for Project CARS. The first piece of content will be the Lykan Hypersport, a car heavily featured in the Furious 7 film. More car DLC will be releasing on a regular basis.

Project CARS will launch for Wii U… at some point. Other versions of the game have been delayed several times and are now coming in May, but the Wii U edition has been “TBA” for several months. It’s not cancelled though!
