I wouldn't be at all surprised to get a Nintendo Direct this Friday. They like Fridays, and with GDC going on it would be interesting timing.

Won't they wait until at least Monday, the first day of Q2, if they are sitting this quarter out?

I don't think so. I think they'll want to pre-empt their financial report like they did last time. It won't affect March sales; there's nothing they can do to dramatically impact Wii U sales the day after their ND -- and even if they could, that's not what the upcoming ND will be about.

What I expect is a bunch of release date announcements, maybe a third-party or eShop game revealed, but mostly release info, and maybe some new footage of upcoming games. In particular, they'll give us a release date for the April firmware update that will improve loading times and add the actual Virtual Console.
