Update 3: Masahiro Sakurai has now retweeted the announcement. Make of that what you will!

Update 2: Davis has now clarified that his tweet was posted without any knowledge of tomorrow’s proceedings. At least that’s one “mystery” solved!

Update: I’ll also mention in passing that the Nintendo Direct news has been retweeted by a couple of folks at PlatinumGames, and Next Level Games’ Brian Davis has also posted about the presentation. I’m not too sure how much we should read into Davis’ tweet, but it’s interesting to see that two prominent Platinum staffers have retweeted the Nintendo Direct announcement.

Original: Does the title above seem similar? It should. When Soraya Saga (Tetsuya Takahashi’s wife) last retweeted news regarding Nintendo Direct, it was for Nintendo’s E3 2013 presentation – and when we last saw “X”.

Saga has once again retweeted news about Nintendo Direct, this time for tomorrow’s broadcast. It’s sparking speculation that X will be making an appearance during the upcoming presentation.

Nintendo did say earlier that tomorrow’s event will focus on games releasing before the end of spring. But perhaps they’ll take the time to show a new trailer for X as well? Maybe, maybe not. Keep those expectations in check, as Nintendo hasn’t specifically mentioned which titles will be shown.

SEGA’s latest trailer for Hero Bank has brought us a bunch of extra details about the game. Read the latest roundup of information below.

– Kaito Gosho can buy weapons, traps, and more while the fight is happening
– Shop has crazy prices for items such as an electric trap
– Need to spend money to win
– Kaito Gosho is ultimately a kid saddled with a one billion yen debt in real life that he’s going to have to pay off somehow
– Can perform a clean knockout punch or pinfall opponents
– Doing the latter while their hit points are still decent can be dangerous, as they’ll have enough strength to push you off
– Will need to extort exhort the crowd while fighting
– This charges your money/popularity gauge and helps increase your earnings when you win

Kirby Triple Deluxe may only be a few months off from landing in North America. GameStop currently has the game listed for a May 2 release.

That date is certainly plausible. Might we hear something about the game’s overseas tomorrow during tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct?

Update: Watsham has confirmed that 3DS has the best-selling version (see below).

Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham shared an interesting sales tidbit about Mutant Mudds Deluxe on Twitter just a few minutes ago.

According to Watsham, sales of the Wii U version have outperformed the Steam, PS3, and PS Vita release combined. He said:

For what it’s worth, Mutant Mudds Deluxe has been out on Wii U longer than the PS3 and PS Vita versions by a few months, but the PC release hit Steam nearly a year prior.

As for the 3DS, that version tops all, Watsham says:
