Nintendo has announced a new conference for Sunday (that's tomorrow), the latest in their line of Nintendo Direct conferences. This will deal entirely with the Wii U, no 3DS info.

It's gonna be at 3PM Pacific Time/6PM Eastern.

Holy sh*t. MY BODY IS READY.

I'm expecting them to focus on Japanese support rather than talking about the system.

Not surprised, but unexpected. They do have a TON of stuff to talk about after an entire year of hiatus basically (sans 3DS in Japan).

So 11pm bst for us in the future? Cool, will watch.carlisledavid79

These will probably be mini nukes, not DA BOMB drop.SaltyMeatballs

THis is probably about the new controller, online, os, apps, eShop, NFC and things of that nature and actual games at the conference, so yeah kind of a big deal.

Like someone else said they set it up for Ubi/EA to properly show their games. It's huge
