No Standard Nintendo Direct in April. A good sign for E3 2014 !

they need to have a conference, not a direct at E3. it simply draws more attention and generates more hype

I suspect they're going to have both this year:

1) A Mario Kart 8 dedicated Nintendo Direct at the end of May

2) A pre-E3 Nintendo Direct either the morning before or the day before their E3 conference

3) An E3 conference

I reckon we're going to hear news of the following - release dates for Bayonetta 2, SSBU, Yarn Yoshi, X, SMT x Fire Emblem, news that the first Bayonetta game is coming to the Wii U, Zelda U and another GameCube game or two given the Wind Waker HD treatment...and maybe a chance that we'll hear something about Star Fox and Metroid.
