Nintendo of Australia has today announced that a new Nintendo Direct stream will be airing on Wednesday, focused on delivering news for their 3DS handheld system. Currently the handheld is waiting on a large line-up of games, including what Nintendo has dubbed the "Year of Luigi" which will focus on more Luigi-orientated titles.

What exactly will be shown is unknown, however many rumours are expecting the official announcement of the Miiverse, a social system currently available on Nintendo's recent Wii U console. Hopefully the stream will also give a bone to the currently dry Wii U, which has suffered a lacking few months with only LEGO City: Undercover and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as big titles plus Injustice: Gods Among Us next week.

The Nintendo Direct will air at 12am AEST on April 17, which you can find over here.
