No Nintendo Directs currently planned for the rest of the year

We will see more shadow drop announcements like Paper Mario for the rest of the year at least. This may actually create more hype and Nintendo buzz, because instead of people saying, "why no direct, does Nintendo have nothing to show?"...

People will now be saying, "Nintendo could drop an announcement on us any day now, so hyped for what they show next!"

Everyday will be open to an announcement, and that is kind of exciting TBH.

This is way too optimistic.  It ignores the feeling that Nintendo is always doomed.  Be on the lookout for posts that say that Paper Mario is the last game they have for the year.  After all, since Nintendo is always doomed, no game announcements means no games in the minds of some people.
