Maybe Nintendo decided to remove a slot already now so that they are less predictable when the next Direct will air.

I think we will have one sooner than that. They need to give us information about their online plans. Not really E3 material.

National Treasure: Direct of Secrets.

I could see another direct coming around Australia Day (the 26th), really really hoping we get another by month's end. I want Fire Emblem before E3.

EDIT

should of read the OP first.

Look, since we all know its happening at some point, I'm just going to make predictions for the next Direct now, using the official Direct format.

No online news or anything until at least March. I think we're not going to see it until late Spring. But yeah, this is what I think is plausible.

You want to bet?

Nintendo always have regualar Direct betwine January Direct and E3, last year after January presentation Nintendo had regualar Direct on April 12. and huge difrence is that this was Mini Direct, without big announcements or new games. So, regular Direct before E3 is almost certain (my guess is around March).

Well it's fact that full Nintendo Direct in all cases until now are in less than a month after Direct Mini, you can see yourself (link down). I personally expecting normal Direct around March latest, but I want rule out maybe at end of January or in February.

Also I made thread about that matter

That's right. Anywhere between few days to three weeks, but generally they do proper Direct two weeks after.

I would love if this happened.

As a Nintendo fan I was completely satisfied with the mini Direct and am very excited for most of the games shown off. I am however concerned that there is no system seller (so far) for the first half of the year. They NEED to keep this momentum going and I don't think that what they announced so far will do the trick.
