Wii U

Rodea: The Sky Soldier has finally launched in Japan. For those who are curious, the downloadable version for Wii U is about 2,715MB. We’re not too sure how large the 3DS edition is, but it’s probably a tiny bit smaller.

Nintendo announced today that the company will be present at this year’s WonderCon at the Anaheim Convention Center. Several games will be playable, and Nintendo has a few activities planned as well – including an interactive amiibo tournament and giveaways.

Splatoon, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D will be playable at the Big N’s booth. Here’s a look at what else Nintendo has lined up for the expo:

Nintendo put up its Japanese page for tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct, and it shares some insight into what we should and shouldn’t expect from the presentation.

In terms of what we’ll be hearing about, Nintendo will be discussing titles releasing through the end of summer. That indicates that we’ll be getting updates on Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon, Fire Emblem If, and Rhythm Heaven 3DS – at least during the Japanese stream.

Meanwhile, Nintendo UK pushed out an email (see above) to fans a short while ago suggesting that there will be new announcements. That shouldn’t be shocking in any way, but it’s nice to have a confirmation!

Lastly, we know about two things Nintendo will not touch on: NX and mobile. It’s specifically stated on the Japanese Nintendo Direct page that neither of these two items will be mentioned.

A new Nintendo Direct presentation will be held tomorrow, Nintendo has announced. The broadcast will focus on upcoming games for both Wii U and 3DS.

In addition to the Nintendo Direct, a presentation for one of Nintendo’s spring releases will be streamed by the Treehouse team.

Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct will kick off at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT. We’ll have a stream here on the site before it begins. Possibly a live blog as well!
