Nintendo’s been dripping out announcements over the past two days about the upcoming Wii U announcements. There’s Nintendo Direct’s going on in Japan and Europe, Nintendo of America is holding their own event and it’s due to take place tomorrow. That’s September 13th for the majority of the world and that’s where the confusion sets in.

So in a bid to cut confusion and give everyone all the links they need to watch the events we’ve listed them all below in chronological order. That only goes so far because the European and America events are at the same time, just on opposite sides of the world.

It’s expected that everything we need to know about the Wii U will be announced tomorrow. Pricing, availability, launch line up and more.

Vooks will be live Tweeting all the events, you’ll be able to follow the action from in a story going up tomorrow or Twitter itself, for that you’ll need to follow myself.

But below is what you’re here for, the times and places you’ll want to tune in.

Where’s My Australian Details? This is an Aussie site!

There is no Australian specific Nintendo Wii U event, we will be getting our details at the same time as Europe but their presentation won’t refer to them. Stick to Vooks as we will have the information as soon as we learn it from Nintendo Australia.

We leave you with this…

See everyone here tomorrow! (or Today depending where you live!)
