Nintendo will be holding its first Nintendo Direct live-stream presentation at exactly 2 p.m. PT on Thursday, where the Japanese video game entertainment giant will be releasing several important pieces of news about its plans for the coming days.

However, the company has already made it clear that it will not talk about the mobile platform or its next-generation video console Nintendo NX during its livestreaming event. In a direct statement, the company wrote: "Please note that the presentation will not feature any updates on NX and mobile."

Still, other players are still hoping to get any details about the soon-to-be released mobile game platform that is being developed by Niatic Labs.

The upcoming mobile game called the "Pokemon Go" will be made by Niantic with the help of the funds gathered by Nintendo, Google, and The Pokemon Company.

Nintendo's upcoming mobile console device is allegedly included in the company's plans to make its video game company updated with the latest technology. In a previous interview with Re/Code, Niantic CEO John Hanke said that "they're really excited about taking that idea out to emerging markets, where the phone may be the only piece of interactive technology that someone has access to." He also explained that "there's a whole set of people around the world who are aware of Pokémon, but have never had the opportunity to play the game."

Speculations claimed that "PlayStation Go" will be released sometime next year, but the Japanese company remains mum about it at the moment. This means that players should continue waiting to see the next Nintendo product in the coming days.
