How do you figure? You don't think Nintendo would give various major publishers the chance to "star" in special Nintendo Directs?
Having said that, there's two things I find suspicious in terms of specifics:
1. Where's Warner Bros? It specifically lists a dedicated Disney Direct, but no WB Direct? Disney has released just one title for the Wii U so far, Epic Mickey 2. It has two more titles confirmed. Warner Bros, on the other hand, has already released four titles, with another one due for release in the US in two days, and have already announced three more, with likely more set for announcement.
I could excuse the absence of the Japanese publishers, like Atlus and Namco Bandai (despite both working on games starring first-party IP), but I just can't see WB, who has put a lot of support into the Wii U, being skipped in favour of Disney.
2. Two "TOP SECRET" Directs, sitting around Sega's and Square Enix's directs. For two reasons - first, with Square Enix's lineup so far being two ports, and the most likely Square Enix titles being major announcements (Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy), I can't see their one being revealed but two others being kept so secret. Second, why would their own planning documents list it as top secret? It would imply that the rest of the list was intended to be leaked, in which case the leak would be a lot more solid than a guy on a random blog saying that he may have info, but he's not yet certain it's even legitimate, himself.
Neither is a solid proof that it's fake. But both seem strange. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks.
