Kid Icarus: Uprising development is finished, and the game will soon be out around the world. Director Masahiro Sakurai won’t have much time to rest, as he’ll be responsible for the next round of highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. titles.

Sakurai seems to be doing some reflection. On Twitter earlier today, Sakurai said that he’s been looking over the Smash Bros. Dojo website, which was used to communicate news about Super Smash Bros. Brawl to fans. He said, “However, what’s the word… it’s tremendous. How did we make this?”

Indies Zero CEO Masanobu Suzui saw Sakurai’s message and said something similar. Once a game is done and he check outs the design documents, materials, and development schedule for a project, he isn’t sure how the team managed to put everything together and create the title.

Sakurai’s response? “It’s because we always put our full effort into it. And then, if you rely on that pace, it becomes more and more difficult.”

Two Nintendo Direct presentations will be taking place tomorrow morning.

First, Nintendo of Japan will stream a presentation from Satoru Iwata. This will begin at 6 AM EST / 3 AM PST.

Following this, Nintendo of America will post up their own version of Nintendo Direct. Like the first show from last year, Reggie Fils-Aime will take viewers through the latest Nintendo news. The North American presentation is set for 9 AM EST / 6 PM PST.

You can keep track of the Nintendo Direct websites here and here

I wouldn’t expect any megatons, but as usual, we should receive some nice tidbits about upcoming games as well as new footage of Wii/3DS titles.

The 3DS has sold over five million units in Japan. Nintendo shared the news in an announcement earlier today.

Nintendo’s latest portable is the first system to reach this milestone in 52 weeks. Two other handhelds from the Big N, the DS and GBA, accomplished the feat in 56 and 58 weeks receptively.

Here’s a chart comparing the sales trends for the GBA, DS, Wii, and 3DS:
