For those in Australia, the time of the Direct will be midnight on the 19th AEDST, for those of us on the East Coast, but those closer to the West, Coast may have it air on the 18th as well, just before midnight. If you're confused by AUS timezones, you can check out Nintendo's AU NZ tweet here.

For any Animal Crossing fans, it's our own speculation that we do not expect any Animal Crossing news in this direct for a new main line game. If there is to be any, we assume it would be minor, such as a spin off, amiibo re-release, or maybe even a port. But we believe it's likely that Animal Crossing to be absent during this presentation.

As always, if you haven't already, be sure to follow us over on Twitter and Tumblr. Anything of note that is showcased within this Direct will be shared to the website after the Livestream.
