Is the age of the Direct over?

It makes me curious: perhaps Nintendo doesn't see much upside to doing regular directs any more. They're costly and timely to produce with perhaps no clear correlation to increased sales for any particular title.

 

What makes you think that they are costly to make?

It's plainly obvious they are scripted. There's a need to get professional crew to shoot and edit the footage. Some added VFX now and then.

 

Not millions of dollars costly, but considerable enough there's a need to plan for them.
