Nintendo Direct live streams, blog (3/3/16)
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Videos, Wii U | 25 Comments
Today’s Nintendo Direct will begin at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT / 10 PM in the UK / 11 PM in Europe (2 hours from now). Streams for all three broadcasts (North America, Europe, Japan) are embedded below. The North American presentation is 41 minutes long, and the Japanese presentation is 39 minutes long.
I’m also going to be handing this post off to someone else – probably Dennis – to handle a live blog for us. That will begin below once the presentation begins, and will mainly be based on the North American stream.
With that, keep those expectations in check and enjoy the show!
