Update 2: Bumped to the top again. The Nintendo Direct has now been confirmed for Japan, and it’s airing at the same time. Nintendo says it will focus on Wii U and 3DS games launching by the end of next spring. Morimoto, who hosted the presentation at the end of May, will lead the way on this one as well.

Update: No real surprise here, but the North American page states: “Please note that the presentation will not feature any updates on NX and mobile.”

Nintendo Direct is making a triumphant return later this week. Today, Nintendo announced that the next broadcast is set for Thursday. The presentation will cover upcoming Wii U and 3DS games.

Satoru Shibata will host the European presentation. It’s unclear who will lead the North American version, though Reggie Fils-Aime and/or Bill Trinen are likely candidates.

Here’s when the new Nintendo Direct will air:

– 2 PM PT
– 5 PM ET
– 10 PM in the UK
– 11 PM in Europe

amiibo have started to become more of an option for third-parties as of late. Shovel Knight is getting its own figure, and indie games are beginning to use the variety of figures that Nintendo has already brought out in their projects.

Going forward, amiibo support is something that Keiji Inafune may choose to take advantage of with his games. He told USGamer the following when asked about expanding in that direction for his Nintendo fans:

“That’s definitely an option for us, and if we have the opportunity to do it, then we’ll definitely take the chance. And also, we know for a fact a lot of our backers are Nintendo fans, because we ran a platform survey [for Mighty No. 9], and we see how many people are choosing Nintendo hardware. So it’s definitely something we have to look into.”

At this point, it might be too late to integrate amiibo support into Mighty No. 9. But maybe we could see the functionality in a sequel, spinoff, or whatever’s coming next from Inafune.
