Today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast lacked information on downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. 2. It’s still on the way, but president Satoru Iwata asked players for a little extra time. He noted how the game only came out overseas less than two weeks ago.

When the DLC is ready to be unveiled, Nintendo will make a global announcement. In other words, details will be sent through the North American, European, and Japanese divisions at the same time.

Iwata also reconfirmed Nintendo’s new stance to release all 3DS retail games on the eShop. Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone! and Animal Crossing: Jump Out will both be available on the store when they’re ready to go in Japan. Iwata personally likes the idea of having these titles on the home menu.

This should begin in about a half hour. The presentation will last 47 minutes, and, as usual, Nintendo will show trailers after the main event ends.

Famitsu has gone slightly overboard with its next magazine teaser. The publication will supposedly be unveiling an “amazing” scoop for its September 6 issue. Famitsu will have the latest on other Capcom titles as well including DmC Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 6.

Along with the Capcom scoop, Famitsu will publish an article on Level-5. Whereas the Capcom teaser seems to hint at a big announcement of some sort, it isn’t clear if the feature will contain any big reveals.

Square Enix officially announced The World Ends with You: Solo Remix a couple of days ago. For fans of the series, the news came as a bit of a disappointment since there were high hopes for a brand new entry rather than a port/remake.

Director Tatsuya Kando was interviewed by Famitsu this week and apologized to those who have been waiting for “new developments” regarding The World Ends with You. He also teased that there are “a variety of other things” in the works.

He said:

“For those who were waiting for new developments for TWEWY, sorry to have kept you waiting. Solo Remix is a game with such a high level of completion that you won’t feel that it’s a port. If you play it and post Tweets to Twitter, the world will expand even further. We’re working on a variety of other things, but first please enjoy Solo Remix.”

So… does that mean we can expect a brand new The World Ends with You title in the future? Nah… let’s not go there – best not to create any hype!

Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct appears to be a Japanese-only affair. Nintendo of America has confirmed that it won’t be broadcasting its own pre-recorded video, and Nintendo of Europe hasn’t announced anything on its end either.

So… keep those expectations in check, folks! It will be a smaller affair compared to June’s presentation.

Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct isn’t the only important Nintendo-happening of the week. The Big N is also planning on holding a retailer meeting sometime within the next few days.

Sinobi, the source of the news, has high hopes that there will be news on Animal Crossing: Jump Out. Nintendo will likely have a final Japanese release date for this title since it is due for release this fall. There’s a very strong chance that it will have a strong presence at the retail meeting as well as tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct.
