<p>Nintendo, <a href="https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica">via their Twitter account</a>, have revealed plans to discuss the next <em>Smash Bros., Mario Kart, a </em>3D Mario and more at their next Nintendo Direct before E3 2013 officially kicks off.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/search/%23IwataSays">#IwataSays</a> We will discuss new Smash Bros., 3D Mario game, Mario Kart and other Wii U titles in our <a href="https://twitter.com/search/%23NintendoDirectNA">#NintendoDirectNA</a> before the start of E3</p>

<p>With Nintendo not having an on stage press conference this year, they&#8217;ve opted to have a number of Nintendo Directs, with the first taking place last week and revealing a couple of big announcements like: <a title="Sonic Lost World Announced for Wii U and 3DS" href="https://bagogames.com/sonic-lost-world-announced-for-wii-u-and-3ds/"><em>Sonic Lost World</em></a>, a partnership with SEGA and <a title="Nintendo Bringing Unreleased E3 Titles to Best Buy During the Week of E3" href="https://bagogames.com/nintendo-bringing-unreleased-e3-titles-to-best-buy-during-the-week-of-e3/">a team up with Best Buy</a>, in which some of their E3 titles will be playable at select Best Buy stores.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since we last got any news regarding a <em>Smash Bros</em>. sequel. Perhaps we&#8217;ll get more than a couple of screenshots to hold us over.</p>
