Unlike the past few Nintendo Directs, today’s presentation (or should I say presentations) will be streamed in the wee hours of the morning.

Here’s a quick run-through of the events:

Japanese Nintendo Direct – 6 AM EST / 3 AM PST
European Nintendo Direct – 7 AM EST / 4 AM PST (still not entirely sure about this, but it’s 1 PM CET for sure)
North American Nintendo Direct – 9 AM EST / 6 AM PST

I’m starting to get the feeling that the European Nintendo Direct will be the same presentation as the Japanese one, but with subtitles. Still, Nintendo of Europe is promising “European specific updates after the presentation finishes.”

As usual, I’ll embed a live-stream of the Japanese Nintendo Direct a few minutes before it begins… maybe 5:45 AM or so. As far as the European/North American shows go, check back regularly on the site for updates.

Although Disney hasn’t confirmed it, numerous pieces of evidence suggest that Epic Mickey 2 is in development. If the speculation is to be believed, Junction Point is preparing the game for the Wii (and possibly Wii U), PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

We might be hearing something official about the game next month. The latest Nintendo Power is making the rounds, and the magazine’s teaser page for their April issue says the following:

“There will be no fooling around when it comes to our April issue. We’ll have the final word of Kid Icarus: Uprising and Xenoblade Chronicles in our full reviews, and get an exclusive whiff of a top-secret title that promises to make your head spin.”

In reference to the “top-secret title”, Nintendo Power included a pair of ears that are apparently very reminiscent of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

We don’t have an image of the teaser page yet, but we’ll add it into this post once we get our hands on a photo.
