I don't like how Nintendo changed the formula for the NDs.

I can't be the only one that noticed that the Nintendo Directs that we all knew and loved are gone. We did not get a single ''real'' nintendo direct all year. We did get NDs in 2014, but let's look at what they gave us...

We had a Super Smash Direct, a MK8 Direct, a Hyrule Warriors Direct and now tomorow a Bayonetta 2 Direct.

So it seems that NDs entirely focussing on only one single game is the new trend, and I don't like it. Gone are the days where we had a Direct, all speculating on what we are going to see, being surprised by new game announcements. Now all we receive are dull small details about the games that they might as well leave for surprise for when we buy the game. The Smash Direct was awsome, but because they are so many things interesting about smash, it's so filled with content and mechanics that we could talk about it for days. The MK8 direct sucked, the only interesting part was when they talked about online, other than that they mainly talked about mechanics we already knew. The Hyrule Warriors was not very good, It kept my attention because I mainly did'nt know much about dynasty games, but despite that they still failed to make a announcement that was worth my time, Cucoos in the game?! Whoa! Who cares, let me buy the game and I'll find out about these small little details such as cucoos and chain chomp chains, none of the announcements are worth being hyped for this direct...

Now we get Bayonetta 2 tomorow. Seriously, is anyone super hyped about this? We all know a bunch about this game. By now most of us should know how interested or uninterested they are about it. What can they possibly say about the game that would be new to us and that would change how we feel about the game in 20min? What they are probably going to tell us is some details about Unbram Climax, talk again about nintendo costumes and I expect one new costumes announced or a bunch if they say they are also in bayo2. Maybe show us a demon or two, talk about the score system and a few small details about the gameplay. Nothing at all to get excited about, just small tiny dull things (important but dull for announcements) that they might as well let us discover on our own.

 

So you got what I feel about the ''new'' NDs. What about you? Do you also think that what they announce in these directs are to small to replace the excitement of getting new games announcements? Or does the small details captivate you and help you get hyped for the game they are talking about?
