Nintendo will be holding a second “Nintendo Direct” presentation to close out 2011. Some Japanese fans have spotted the company’s updated UStream page, which states that the event will be held on Tuesday. Similar to the presentation back in October, the latest Nintendo Direct is scheduled for Tuesday at 12 PM in Japan, which is Monday at 10 PM EDT / 7 PM EDT.

It’s unclear if the new presentation will be filled with announcements, though Nintendo did share some pretty substantial news in October. Lost Heroes, 3D Classics: Kid Icarus, and other titles for the handheld were revealed throughout the event.

AllThingsD has published a new interview with Nintendo of America president Reggie-Fils Aime. Fils-Aime was quizzed on Black Friday sales and how the Wii continues to break records, social gaming, his thoughts on the free-to-play model, and more.

Interestingly, he said that Nintendo will experiment with other forms of monetization, though he wouldn’t really elaborate about what the company may have in store. Reggie also slipped in some quick talk about the Wii U, in which he said that “it will speak to a different consumer than the one that is buying the Wii today during the holidays.”

Head past the break for all of Reggie’s remarks.

The bug fix for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword can be located on the North America Wii Shop Channel. The download is intended for players who need to fix their save data so that they can proceed in the game.

Keep in mind that your save data will be removed if you delete your Wii Shop Channel account. I have no idea why the two would be connected, but just be careful.
