Nintendo of America have confirmed that they have prepared to broadcast their own Nintendo Direct later today.
As with Europe, this will focus upon Wii U and Nintendo 3DS releases between now and early 2013.
It will begin at 9am PST / 11am CST/ 12pm EST, which therefore means that it will run in tandem alongside its European counterpart.
If I were a betting man, I would prepare yourself for a few surprises. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime previously teased regarding Wii U: “I think we will continue to surprise the fans with announcements and information. I would not go so far as to say you know everything in our launch window.”
