Do you think Nintendo will do another awesome January Nintendo Direct??

[TK14]

What's so interesting about that Wii U Direct last January is that if you watch it again...they didn't even show that much. They mentioned that 3D Mario and Mario Kart and Smash Bros were coming and would be shown at E3. They showed 20 seconds of Yarn Yoshi, a "teaser trailer" which was basically just a title for SMT X FE, they showed stills from WWHD and talked about the next Zelda, and then they showed the first "X" trailer. And yet, I STILL enjoy watching it...because it was HOW they structured it that made it great. They talked about stuff coming further in the future...not really wasting time on games that were coming out in the next month or two that already had plenty of footage/trailers out. And they started out slow...stuff about the update, Virtual Console, the "expected" Mario announcements...then they started building... a mention of Smash Bros., teases for Bayonetta 2 and W101, the Yarn Yoshi and SMT X FE announcements. And then they made you think they were ending strong with talk of the 2 Wii U Zelda games...which as a Zelda fanboy, I can tell you that ANY news is ALWAYS a big deal. And then, finally, they surprised everyone with the reveal and first trailer of "X." So honestly, I just think it goes to show that the way a Direct is structured is just as important as the actual content of the Direct. Kind of like their last E3 when they started with Pikmin 3 and ended with Nintendo Land. That was a huge letdown and could have been a "decent" press conference had it been ordered correctly.

But to the OP, I HOPE HOPE HOPE they do. It's been 6 months since E3 and we're still 6 months away from the next...the half-way point, so it'd be FANTASTIC if they'd make each January kind of like a "2nd E3" in terms of new announcements, updates on projects that won't be releasing in the next couple months, etc. Here's hoping! :D
