3DS Will Be The Focus Of A Nintendo Direct On November 13
Nintendo has announced that it will be hosting a Direct presentation tomorrow morning. This time out, the company will be focusing on the 3DS and games that will be coming out for it through early 2014.
No doubt, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds will get some air time, but appearances from Pokemon X/Y, Yoshi's Island on 3DS, Kirby, and Bravely Default wouldn't be surprising. The 3DS is solidly positioned going into the holiday season and has performed well for Nintendo this year on the back of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Pokemon X/Y, and Mario and Luigi Dream Team.
Our Take
There's no doubt that Nintendo should be pushing the 3DS to make as much of the handheld as possible. The timing of this Nintendo Direct is very unfortunate, though. There is a lot of attention on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One right now, and that might drown out the Nintendo Direct buzz.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
