It’s now common for me to wake up, flip on my 3DS, and view the ridiculous new Swapnote images my friends have scribbled in. I didn’t expect there to be a Swapnote from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime telling me to pay attention to tomorrow.
Nintendo’s been holding pretty regular “Nintendo Direct” events, basically mini press-conferences, since the launch of 3DS. It's where the company has been revealing dates, games and services.
It’s probably not a coincidence the newest “Nintendo Direct” will also be taking place on the same day Sony officially launches the successor to the PSP, Vita. Some consumers already have their machines, having ordered specially priced “early adopter” bundles.
Tomorrow's event takes place at 6:00 a.m. PST / 9:00 a.m. EST at www.nintendo.com/nintendo_direct.
P.S. If you're not using Swapnote, you should. It's really neat!
I is INTEREST
Can't wait! I hope it's something really cool.
I wonder if the date has any correlation with the release of it's major competitor's new handheld device.
What am I saying, of course it does!
If they announce a new 3DS then I'm trading mine in and likely getting a Vita or just keeping the cash.
The entire My Notebook collection available for the 3DS.
I'll check it out as a 3DS and Vita owner. It's interesting to hear your newfound enthusiasm for the 3DS, especially for something as trivial as swapnote.
I often hear people say they don't want a Vita because they already have a phone (even some of you folk around the office). It doesn't seem to offer anything worthwhile over the Vita, having both devices now. I would even venture to say the gaming experience on the Vita has been dramatically more fulfilling (but I am invested in the PS3 space as well).
Do you feel the 3DS is more justified as a portable gaming device than the Vita?
They will probably delay MGS 3 some more and maybe push Kid Icarus back even further /sarcasm.
I would like to see a new portable Zelda game! Maybe they could do one that looks like a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time. You know, a proper sequel, not that mask-related game nobody liked.
Mother 3?

It would be funny if they sent a note to you on your 3ds about a mini press conference to announce a new 3ds lol
Reggie is going to officially announce that he has herpes. = (
Sounds like it could be interesting.
Wish List: 3DS with second analog pad built-in and better battery. Available Holiday 2012.
That's not too much to ask, is it?
if it's a 3ds lite (which I doubt) I'll be contacting amazon shortly to place my order.
Edit: 3ds came out in Japan Feb 26, maybe announcing something to be released on the one year anniversary?
That's 15:00 here, making a note of it.
Not having high expectations.
