Translation of original tweet:

今回は、通常のダイレクトとは少し趣向を変え、任天堂が今後Wii Uでどのように自社タイトルやサービスを展開していくつもりなのか、ということをお伝えします。

Iwata: "This time, the plan is a bit different from a regular Direct, in that I'll be talking about what kind of Wii U titles and services Nintendo is developing."

This basically means they're showing the cards because everyone is crying that we don't know what's coming.

Fuck yeah! I love Iwata. I just want to pinch his cheeks and have him live in my pantry.

I wonder if they are gonna announce anything new in order maintain mindshare as Sony and Microsoft prepare to unveil their new hardware.

@Bishna: at least one or two new things we may know exist but haven't see like first Bayonetta 2 footage or first footage of some announced eShop game with slight chances of brand new stuff.

It seems like it is going to be one Nintendo Direct that is broadcast at the same time worldwide. Usually they do separate presentations so they can cater the announcements to each region, so if it is indeed one presentation worldwide, announcements should affect a worldwide audience.

Hey, 5 minutes of Bayonetta 2 gameplay footage would make me pretty happy.

Sounds alright. Sounds like it's more Wii U oriented but either way still interesting.

Wii U could use a few Nintendo Directs...hope they surprise us with something.

I thought it was a pretty good stream. Looking forward to quite a few of the games announced and its nice to get a firm confirmation on the Virtual Console for Wii U.
