Your support makes all the difference.Nintendo has announced the date of the next Nintendo Direct broadcast in an exciting post on Twitter - the company is promising updates on upcoming Wii U and 3DS games on Thursday 12 November at 10PM GMT.
It's been a long wait for gamers - this will be the first Nintendo Direct announcement since Nintendo CEO and President Satoru Iwata, who played a big role ont he broadcasts, died in July this year.
Iwata was a hugely successful boss, and has widely been credited with revolutionising gaming, heading the company during the release of devices like the Wii, which hugely expanded the gaming market.
The broadcast will be hosted by Satoru Shibata, the President of Nintendo of Europe. We don't know whether Shibata will host the American broadcast, or whether that duty will be given to North American boss Reggie Fils-Aimé.
It's not yet clear what Nintendo are going to announce in the broadcasts, but with the Christmas period and the start of 2016 rapidly approaching, there's definitely going to be some good stuff.
Naturally, the announcement sent Nintendo fans crazy.
