Nintendo Direct event taking place this Wednesday

4.6

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.

Please stop! Just focus on the DS, that's the only thing making you money

Cokes Doesn't seem like anything big at all.

Because Wii isn't good... I don't
understand why they're trying to
impress people.

I hope that maybe we will see some more gameplay from this event and it won't just be a time to say their sales numbers and why their product is better. If they want to save this console then they are going to need to do something fast otherwise with the release of the One and the PS4 they won't stand that much of a chance.

They might unveil some cool things.

Maybe it really depends

I remember reading a month or so ago that they are supposedly having some whole new type of games coming out. To what extent that is true, I have no clue but I guess you could count that.
