So, the anticipated Nintendo Direct aired this morning and the focus this time was almost entirely on the Wii U's upcoming software. I can't stress enough that the "BIG" Nintendo Direct will likely be in early June PRIOR to E3. They are ditching the usual press conference format and going in favor of a "direct to you" approach they adopted awhile back (I guess that means they read and value all those Club Nintendo forms I submit, lol). You can expect the big news breaks in that installment...I'm thinking we'll get word and possibly footage on: Mario Kart Wii U, the new entry in the Smash Bros. franchise (Wii U and 3DS), the new 3D Mario, and likely some other very cool stuff. They will still be at E3, but basically to just let attendees check out the new games and source first hand feedback and user impressions etc.
That said, content wasn't lacking in this one...
I did this on my lunch hour so these "notes" below are a very, rough draft...I'll get something more formal typed up later tonight. Just kind of use them to help you navigate the video for what you want to see etc.
