Capcom will think about supporting NX, Nintendo’s new system, according to the company.

During its latest financial results meeting, there was this exchange with an investor:

Q. What are your plans involving new platforms (NX, PlayStation® VR and others) and the timing of launches of Capcom titles for these platforms?

A. Our R&D operations are working on technologies for many types of hardware. We will consider the possibility of creating technology demonstrations and making versions of titles under development for these new platforms. At this time, we have not announced any plans for specific products or the timing of a product launch.

Capcom brought a few titles to Wii U, which was Nintendo’s most-recent system launch. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was available at the Japanese release and soon after in the west. Other Capcom titles include Resident Evil: Revelations, DuckTales Remastered, and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara.

Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda isn’t the only one tweeting about today’s Nintendo Direct. Masahiro Sakurai, director of Super Smash Bros., is joining in on the fun as well.

On his Twitter account, Sakurai mentioned that he’ll be waking up early for the Direct. Might that mean we’ll be seeing some Smash Bros. news later today?

Yesterday’s Famitsu scans featured quite an extensive look at Monster Hunter X. Most of the focus was on monster variants which are, well, variants of existing monsters with different looks and behavior patterns. Adam Evanko AKA Gaijinhunter took an in-depth look at the Famitsu scans in a video which you can find below, but here’s a small overview of the monster variants detailed in the magazine:

• Darkflame Rathalos: lots of airtime and new breath attacks
• Deadly Princess Rathian: focuses on poison attacks
• Crimson Bear Arzuros: characteristic red mane, powerful attacks with his arms
• Fortress Daimyo: high defense, hard to crack
• Bouldercrusher Tetsucabra: berserk, powerful jaw attacks
• Whitegale Nargacuga: really fast, shoots shockwaves when it attacks
• Gold Thunder Zinoger: has undergone an “awakening” and now has powerful homing lightning attacks

Junichi Masuda, known for his work on the Pokemon series, just made a tweet in which he’s telling people to watch today’s Nintendo Direct.

Obviously, this might not mean anything. There have been times in the past where a creator, such as Masahiro Sakurai or Soraya Saga of Monolith Soft, tweeted about an upcoming Nintendo Direct which led people to speculate that said Direct would feature news from their respective games, but it didn’t end up happening after all. Still, I figured it was worth pointing out.

Assuming today’s Direct will feature something Pokemon-related, what could it be? Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon seems unlikely since the game is already out in Japan and Masuda probably wouldn’t announce news about it like this to his mostly Japanese Twitter audience. News about the Wii U version of Pokken Tournament are definitely a possibility, however Game Freak was barely involved with the development of that game, which was handled by Bandai Namco instead. Pokemon GO is unlikely since Nintendo have said that the Direct will only feature Wii U and 3DS games. What most people would probably want to see is news about a new mainline Pokemon game, such as the rumoured Pokemon Z. It seems like a foregone conclusion that there will be another 3DS Pokemon game set in the Kalos region, but who knows if it will be announced today.

Either way, we will know for sure in about 12 hours when the Direct airs.

Minecraft: Wii U Edition may finally be coming to Wii U, if a listing on PEGI is anything to go by. The UK ratings board just added the game to its database today.

Minecraft is available on just about every platform, but it has yet to hit Wii U. Minecraft: Story Mode – a spinoff of the franchise made by Telltale Games – is heading to the eShop at some point soon.
