Where can I watch it? Right here: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html

Nintendo's Youtube Channel has one private video in their "Nintendo Direct" playlist, and three in their "Nintendo 3DS" playlist. There are no private videos in the Wii U playlist.

Using this on the videos, I can tell that the three videos in the 3DS playlist are for FE:A, LEGO City Undercover, and AC:NL (change the number on the links to 1-3 for thumbnails). The one in the ND playlist is for tomorrow's ND I guess. This is the preview image I get for the ND video:

The above private videos have since been taken down.

All I want is Harmo Knight + Luigi's Mansion + Fire Emblem + Animal Crossing release date.
Also, Bravely Default with DQ 7/10 localization.
Add to that some MEGATONS and it'll be nearly perfect.

If there's no Japanese Direct, then it could probably mean localization titles being announced for the West. Which means good news.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
I'm confused. Why is the NOA covering both Wii U and 3DS future titles, but the others are only 3DS?

That seems odd to me!

I'm betting 3DS will see game announcements, and Wii U will see a few release dates.
 
I'm really confused about the times and what each are about, I mean why would the EU direct be later and 3DS only, why is NA earlier with both? Will JP be just Wii U 3rd-party?
