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.

Sweg This better be good.


I know, what is the point of this if it will be garbage. It would be a waste of time.

For their sake, I hope they make some sort of comeback. If that doesn't fall through, all focus needs to go to the portable platform. That is what's bringing in the money. DSs are selling amazingly and with the new Pokemon games coming out as well as many more anticipated titles, they will be perfectly fine as a company. Just because they don't have the console market doesn't mean they're a failing company. They still dominate the portable platform. Microsoft shows no interest in it, Sony has the Vita but it's not as appealing. They just need better forms of PR and they'll be fine.

-CP Nintendo, please just end it now; it's becoming pathetic....


They're one of the biggest gaming companies in the world, their technology is revolutionary but they're not advertising strongly enough. There's nothing pathetic about it, they're great products, they just don't get advertised correctly.


No they are pathetic and cannot compete to next gen consoles


Well I love no ads they are #1st for that but everything else just no

What are you talking about? Losing money makes them a low quality company.


Just because they always lose at E3 don't mean they lose money, There is a lot of people in the world that have a Nintendo so it dose not mean anything at all.


i would be really sad if they closed, they are really old and i have a lot of memories playing thier consoles and games.


That's exactly how I feel about it. Only thing is I don't play any of their new content.


They ruined their products.
