Nintendo is to host a Nintendo Direct broadcast this Wednesday, August 7.

The company says global president Satoru Iwata and European boss Satoru Shibata will use the livestreamed event to provide updates on Wii U and 3DS software for 2013.

The Nintendo Direct broadcast will be streamed from the Nintendo Direct website tomorrow at 3pm UK Time (4pm CEST / 7am PT).

Last week, Nintendo announced that worldwide Wii U sales totalled just 160,000 units in the first financial quarter ended June 30, with software sales coming in at just over one million.

Notable first party Wii U titles set for release in the remainder 2013 include The Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Wii Party U, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Wii Fit U and Super Mario 3D World.

3DS performed better in Nintendo's last quarter, moving 1.4 million units and just over 11 million software units.

Nintendo's major 3DS titles still scheduled for release this year include Pokemon X & Y and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

I really wonder if they are bring the Wii U's to events like Gamescom and allowing people to play the new games like Mario Kart and Donkey Kong so they drum up support and sales. I want to see more footage of their new games.

Lightyear I still prefer the older consoles Nintendo made, the new ones don't seem new at all.

The Gamecube was one of their best consoles in my opinion, I played the Wii a fair bit but i haven't even picked up the Wii U at this point

Agreed, the Nintendo 64 is still one of the best things ever made.

Haha I wish but it will never happen plus they would probably ruin our memories with bad games.

I agree one of my favourite consoles was the N64, Banjo Kazooie Super Mario etc but OT Nintendo should jsut stop and focus on hendheld gaming and not consoles as they where good at it but not now.
