Eh, I still don't get it. How does any of this affect the victims of the earthquake and their families. If in the place of the direct Nintendo decided to do a fundraising campaign for the victims I could understand it. Rather they're simply deciding, "Ok we won't upload a video." I really don't see how it matters on any level at all. I'm assuming it's already been recorded.

If Nintendo wish to show respect to the victims, surely there is something actually meaningful they can do. Because whether they upload or don't upload a video, the people actually affected by this disaster couldn't care less.

Adding what stefan said. Delaying it is a sign of doing something meaningful. Its like saying "lets all focus on the people that have been affected by these through donations or by prayers around the world"

And im sure it wouldn't hurt to delay it. But not delaying it may face some backlash. 

I just think it's weird as it's so unrelated, if cancelling the Direct is the right thing to do, then literally everything happening today should be cancelled out of respect, because it would all have as much relevance.

But regardless it certainly doesn't hurt to cancel it, and from the response of the vast majority, it was clearly the right decision.
