Will people ever stop having expectations when it comes to Nintendo Directs?

Anyway, is the Direct approach (heh) a mistake? Should Nintendo go back to the traditional methods such as using magazine reveals and press releases for normal announcements and conventions for big announcements? Or do people enjoy the format?

Great question. I think they should go back to more traditional methods. Its not like the Directs are that big anyway and they dont reach the same amount of people as say a IGN reveal might. Really it seems that most of the people who watch directs are Ninty and gaming fans anyway. They dont need to be sold on anything. They are just reiterating what most know.

Edit: worse still some of these Ninty fans really overhype the Directs and set themselves up to be let down.

IGN has an article of the reveals now, so how does a direct have anything to do with IGN not showing a reveal?
