Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

Pic of the day, and a very important announcement.

On 4/8, at 3 PM PST (8/4 11 PM UK time), we’ll be airing a Super Smash Bros. Direct!! There will be all kinds of info about the new Smash Bros. games on this simultaneous global stream that will be delivered “directly” to you, so don’t miss it!

It’s airing at a really late time for some of you, but it’ll probably be worth the wait.
You can watch the stream from the official site (www.smashbros.com).

Later today, Nintendo will be hosting a Direct for Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS. We can count on plenty of details to be unveiled such as new characters in all likelihood.

Some had also hoped that today would be the day that a release date would be announced. It’s time to readjust expectations though, as it’s been confirmed that no such information will be shared.

The Japanese Smash Bros. Twitter account noted several hours ago that “a concrete release date” won’t be confirmed. On the bright side though “we will be revealing a rough release window.”

The message states:

“[Notice] We are currently not at a stage where we can announce a concrete release date; however, in tomorrow’s broadcast, we will be revealing a rough release window.”

Note that Silicon Studio’s tech should eventually make its way to Wii U.
