Wii U

Little Mac is joining the Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS roster, it’s been revealed. A new trailer debuting on today’s Nintendo Direct confirms the news. We’ll have the video here shortly.


Putting this post up a bit earlier than usual. Feel free to chat away about your hopes, expectations, and whatever else is on your mind regarding today’s Nintendo Directs.

Each presentation will begin at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT (3.5 hours from now). The North American broadcast is said to last about 41 minutes, while the Japanese one will be roughly 39 minutes.

Updates will be posted on the site throughout the presentations.

A new round of maintenance is expected to take place later today (tomorrow depending where you live) for the online services pertaining to both Wii U and 3DS. The two platforms will be seeing downtime between 9 PM PT and 12 AM PT (12 AM ET and 3 AM ET). Fortunately, the maintenance period seems to be relatively short.

Pic of the day. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day…and the day the new Nintendo Direct airs! It will stream in Japan at 7 AM so it’s going to be a very early morning for us…!

I think it’s safe to say that tomorrow’s Smash Bros. update will be a bit more exciting that this one.

Circle Entertainment recently revealed to Nintendo Everything that the publisher will be bringing Quell Reflect to the eShop. The company’s Chris Chau (producer) as well as FK Digital developers Mickey Lin (director) and Aloner Chiu (assistant director/planner) shared more details about the game in a recent interview. 

Head past the break for our full discussion. Along with Quell Reflect, we asked about Wii U, interest in retail, and the Chinese market.
