Soraya Saga has re-tweeted the news regarding tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct. You know what that means! We should be getting an Xenoblade update tomorrow. Some may have expected this, but it’s nice to receive an additional indication in any case.

We may actually receive some news about two Xenoblade games. Nintendo could have a thing or two to say about Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U as well as the port of Xenoblade Chronicles for New 3DS.

MixedBag Games will apparently be involved with the latest Nintendo Direct in some fashion. The studio posted a cryptic teaser message on Twitter earlier today, stating that there will be “something” shown during today’s presentation from the studio.

Chances are that Nintendo will be highlighting indies during today’s Nintendo Direct (video reel of some sort?). MixedBag could be showing forma.8, which is in development for Wii U.
