Watch today's Nintendo Direct right here!

At 5PM ET, expect to hear more about 'Star Fox Zero' and maybe, just maybe, the next 'Legend of Zelda.'

The moment is almost upon us: the next Nintendo Direct starts at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT. But before you get your hopes up too high, it won't have anything to do with the company's Wii U follow-up, the machine that's codenamed "NX." Same goes for any announcements about Nintendo's mobile initiative. Instead, we're promised that this event will be all about games releasing over the course of spring and summer. What're those? Well, we still haven't heard an awful lot about Star Fox Zero since its delay so expect that to change.

Similarly, there haven't been any announcements about timing for those last add-on fighters for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Of course, that's to say nothing of possible updates for the 3DS handheld. And then there's the elephant in the room wearing a funny green hat, the next Legend of Zelda. Will we get a launch date?

The answer to that question and much, much more resides in the stream embedded below. It all starts pretty soon! Join us for this special occasion that's sure to help you think of the warmer months ahead, won't you?
