Just an hour ago, Nintendo announced via Twitter and Facebook that there will be a special presentation about the Nintendo NX on Thursday, October 20th at 7am PT/10am ET. The reveal will come in the form of a 3 minute trailer, possibly followed by further broadcasted data.

We know very little about the expected format. They will talk about the NX, but what about it? Will they only talk about one aspect of the hardware (as the Wii Remote teaser video did at the 2005 Tokyo Game Show). Will new games be shown? 3 minutes seems like an awfully short time to get a full rundown of the system, so I expect that they just want to give a general idea of the power and it's unique selling point, but won't go into actual specs or specific games. The Nintendo of Japan twitter post indicates the video will mostly be about whatever the NX's revolutionary concept happens to be.

At this point, I don't even know where exactly the trailer will be. But here are the likely locations:

• Nintendo Direct Homepage
• Nintendo's Twitch Channel
• Nintendo's YouTube Channel

I will be there to watch it, whatever it is, in real time tomorrow. I hope to see you there too and talk about it here afterwards.
