Yep Nintendo's Twitter says:



"Catch a new Nintendo Direct on April 1 at 3pm PT for the latest upcoming Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games. Stick around after the Direct for a live Nintendo Treehouse presentation featuring one of our spring releases. Don't let the date fool you:

This Nintendo Direct is no joke!"


Probably more Treehouse on Splatoon I bet, which is only a good thing. They need to really push this game because it can totally re-define the genre.


Splatoon is a good bet for sure. I don't know if I'd agree it can define the genre, but it's a breath of fresh air, mixing Platformer mechanics with shooting and art. If anything I'd say it does it's own thing, rather than just changing one specific genre.

Nintendo definitely needs to push Splatoon hard. I think it could become their next big game, doing what Mario Kart did for the Platform/Shooter/Artistic area. Most people will probably see it as Nintendo's shooter, which they could focus in on and try to market the Characters in the game, like they have Mario.

 

I'm glad Nintendo worded that tweet like they did, because it doesn't rule out them announcing new games or basically covering all  of the games they currently have announced for 2015 and the spring releases can be focused in the Treehouse bit of the presentation. I'm looking forward to seeing this.
