We know that a Nintendo Direct is scheduled this evening for upcoming Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games, but little else has been said about the content. Monday, Nintendo Network was down for extended maintenance, which usually means a firmware update, even if a small one. While that didn’t come, there are rumors surfacing that a System Update for the Wii U will be released tonight after the Nintendo Direct, as some people have seen a system update pop up in their download queue.

When trying to download the update, it fails and refuses to complete so perhaps Nintendo is planning a system update that won’t go live until after the Nintendo Direct airs. Either way, it seems imminent that something is on the way!
