The Japanese video game titan has taken to Twitter to announce that they will be unveiling some new and exciting content for their platforms, 3DS and Wii U.

Stepping into some predictions about what gamers are going to see during the Nintendo Direct event, AttackoftheFanBoy went ahead and listed some logical conclusions.

First and foremost, the report goes on to say that there's a strong chance that the fourth wave of Amiibo figures and any future plans for them will be brought up. Rumor has it that Wave 4 will include fan favorites like Ness and Lucinda for the US.

Next up on the list is the chance to find out the exact release date for the upcoming Wii U title, 'Splatoon'. Considering the game is set to release next month, there's a strong chance that the official release date will be mentioned during the Nintendo Direct event.

More speculation about things that will be brought up at today's event involves the second 'Mario Kart 8' DLC. While much of the scoop has already been talked about and brought into the forefront, there's some more specific details that racers are looking to find out.

Beyond all that, there's a good chance that the final Xenoblade Chronicles 3D trailer is going to be released in an attempt to promote the upcoming 3DS title. However, setting all that aside, while none of these predictions are confirmed, it's only a matter a time before the Nintendo Direct event begins, check out the live stream link here.
