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.

Update: Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter account confirms that the Direct is covering games leading up to Spring 2015.

A new Nintendo Direct presentation will be held tomorrow, Nintendo has announced. The broadcast will go live at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT.

As of late, most of the Nintendo Directs have been game-specific. But tomorrow’s presentation will provide updates on upcoming games for both Wii U and 3DS.

Nintendo’s European PR states that the presentation will focus on “titles releasing by the end of this year, while looking ahead to 2015.” The European stream will be hosted by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata.
