Nintendo Direct live stream (5/31/15, Japan)
The latest Nintendo Direct, which is for Japan only, will begin at 6 AM ET / 3 AM PT / 11 AM in the UK / 12 PM in Europe. I’m putting up this post a few hours early since I’ll be heading off for a bit of sleep soon and won’t be on again until 5:30 AM or so.
During the presentation, expect to hear more about Wii U and 3DS games coming out in Japan this summer. That likely means the latest information on Fire Emblem If, Rhythm Heaven: The Best Plus, Yoshi’s Woolly World, and other titles.
You can watch a live stream of the Nintendo Direct below. Depending on how things go, we may add updates throughout the presentation below as well. If nothing else, we’ll have brand new posts up on the site if anything major comes in.
