Nintendo Directs are not helping....at all. They need to go big with the press conferences.

They are helping. The January ND for Wii U showing Monolith Soft's X did a great job of generating much needed excitement. This past 3DS one did the same for that system with games like Yoshi's Island, Link to the Past 2, and Bravely Default.

They are helping Nintendo core but not much else which isnt very much.

(@Soundwave too)

Nintendo fans may watch the actual presentation, but the news and trailers disseminate through other gaming news outlets. Bayonetta 2's exclusivity was announced at an ND, but it was common knowledge within a day.

Yeah, but its going to still have Bayonetta sales, and not multiplatform sales either.

Being on ND didn't stop it reaching a larger audience though, and there are non-Nintendo fans who are interested in games like X, which was an ND unveiling.
