VAMatt put it perfectly why it was likely delayed.

I think, relatively speaking, that this earthquake is not a huge deal. Most life in Japan, and elsewhere, is peoceeding as normal. But, it is just big enough that Nintendo's PR department thinks it may be seen as disrespectful to announce non-urgent video game news today. There's really no reason for them to risk a PR blunder, so they're going to delay until a more appropriate time.
Or, it could be that someone that is integral to the Direct had family impacted, so is not able to participate right now.
Or, to take a more cynical view, it could be that Nintendo doesn't want to be overshadowed by this bigger news story.

Ok that makes sense. It's smart for Nintendo to avoid the negative PR that might come from the direct.
