It might be April Fools but one thing that isn't a joke is Nintendo's new Direct. With a new console on the Horizon, we can hope to expect some big announcements as well as some games being pushed back. I'll have a link to the 49 minute Direct as soon as I can but in the mean time, stick around to see and hear, what's going on!
