Nintendo confirmed today via Twitter that the Direct originally scheduled for 6th September has been moved to this Thursday 13th September. The Direct was initially postponed as a sign of respect to those affected by the recent Earthquake in Hokkaido, which reportedly has taken at least 41 lives.
The Nintendo Direct initially scheduled for 9/6 will now debut this Thursday, 9/13, at 3pm PT. The broadcast will last approximately 35 minutes, and will feature information about upcoming Nintendo #3DS and #NintendoSwitch titles.https://t.co/vZbh2Ng6u1 pic.twitter.com/rwQXYOCIzu
