Why worry about the date? In 2013 they had a direct on April 1st too.

Maybe Iwata will be wearing a funny hat. It's not without precedent. The choice of date is pretty curious, though. Normally companies avoid it for announcing things for obvious reasons. There must have been SOME reason they couldn't have waited until Thursday. they probably wanted to do it at the end of march but a complication arose or something, and they had to put it off i think nintendo knows its a bad date for a direct (noa twitter said "its not a joke!") but they want to get it to us as soon as possible regardless It would certainly be a lot of effort for a joke, but yer still gonna get some people on Twitter who think it's a joke just because of the date. Everywhere else in the world is probably like "April what Day? What fools day? Thoze crazy Americans! Zee are such jokers! Hohn hohn hohn!"

Do you guys think that the treehouse footage will be recorded? I'm gonna be in class, so I'm gonna watch the direct after, but I'm worried I'll miss out on the treehouse footage if it isn't recorded

Maybe the Treehouse segment is attached to the end of the Direct.. hopefully.

The Treehouse footage has to be Splatoon. What else could it be? To JP4464: Just go to their Twitch channel. Should be there under past broadcasts for the next month.

I don't believe something can be an April Fools joke if it does not happen on the date of April 1st. Therefore, the news that already exists that there will be a Direct on the 1st can not be an April Fools joke. However, anything that takes place on the date of April 1st is fair game for having fools. That means that the Direct itself will not necessarily be exempt from the possibility of containing some jokes. I would tend to agree though that Nintendo is a very conservative company, so if they would do any kind of joke, it would be along the lines of no more than someone wearing a funny hat, as previously suggested.
Edited for grammar

Edited for grammar Well NoA teamed up with Mega 64 for a video, as well as The crew behind Robot Chicken for the e3 digital event. Even though Nintendo's a relatively more serious company regarding their business decisions, it's not impossible that there'll be jokes and a little messing around for tomorrow's Direct.

i'm pretty sure no one in japan gives a shit about april fools, especially not professionals i'm confident that everything in this direct will be for real Maybe Iwata will be wearing a funny hat. It's not without precedent. The choice of date is pretty curious, though. Normally companies avoid it for announcing things for obvious reasons. There must have been SOME reason they couldn't have waited until Thursday. It's the beginning of the fiscal year in Japan.

Really just hyped for more Splatoon gameplay and possibly, the offical 2nd DLC release date for MK8.

Dragon Driftway is without a doubt my favorite track in all of MK8. All of the DLC 1 tracks are great, except for maybe Ice Ice Outpost. I know I played enough MK on Monday to fill me up...until Saturday when we can run a Squidboards room! Have we seen anything from DLC 2 except for the Animal Crossing track?

I wonder how long it's going to be. I believe I'll be out of class and able to watch it, if not then I'll be able to catch it later in the day ^w^

Aside from that, we don't really know what tracks are in Pack 2 at all.

From Nintendo Direct screen,
"Stick around after the Direct for a live Nintendo Treehouse presentation featuring one of our spring releases."
Splatoon is really the only game coming out this Spring that I could see nintendo having a live gameplay feed so more SPLATOON HYPE!
