Tomorrow’s Japanese Nintendo Direct won’t be delivered by company president Satoru Iwata. Instead, it’s being hosted by Mr. Morimoto, who is a part of the PR team.

Morimoto was originally introduced during the April 2015 Nintendo Direct. He’s the man standing next to Iwata in the image above.

The new Nintendo Direct will take place at 6 AM ET / 3 AM PT. Before it goes live, we’ll have a stream on the site.

Bumping this to the top. Amazon will begin opening up orders in a half hour (5 PM ET / 2 PM PT). See the specific times in the message above (orders will open at any time during each half hour window), and check out links for each figure below.

Amazon didn’t end up taking reservations for the newest amiibo, but the retailer will be opening orders tomorrow. That includes the latest Smash Bros. figures, silver Mario, and Splatoon.

You’ll be able to order amiibo during different time slots throughout the day. Amazon has narrowed things down to half-hour slots, though items will be sold at any point during those time frames (not necessarily at the beginning of each window). Quantities are expected to be “very limited”.

Below are links to each amiibo. You should keep track of each as we approach the different hours.

Pac-Man amiibo
Charizard amiibo
Inkling Boy amiibo
Lucina Amiibo
Wario amiibo
Inkling Girl amiibo
Mario Silver Edition amiibo
Robin amiibo
Inkling Boy, Girl, and Squid 3-pack
