Nintendo is going to tell its Japanese fans all about its summer line-up for Wii U and 3DS.
The Japanese gaming company’s next Nintendo Direct, a series of online streams that it uses to showcase and announce software and hardware, is coming on May 31, as originally reported by Polygon. Right now, we don’t know if North America and Europe will have their own streams. Typically, all three regions have Nintendo Directs around the same time, each generally showing the games but with some differences.
However, this Nintendo Direct is coming just a few weeks before the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, which is the biggest gaming event of the year for announcements and news in North America. While Nintendo won’t have a press conference at the show, it will have a digital event on June 16. It’s likely that they’ll want to save any big surprises and announcements for then, when much of the gaming world has its eyes focused on E3.
