It’s great to see the general Nintendo Direct back. I’m curious on how this will be presented. Has the situation been good enough for employees to come back to the offices of Nintendo and film their segments (I.e., Koizumi or Takahashi filmed in front of a green screen with professional backgrounds and effects)? Plus, how did they communicate with their partners to gather enough titles to show for this direct? As for first party games, I bet they’ll mostly show those with actual release dates. Not to mention having English (or other non-Japanese) translations and/or dubbing work from NoA, NoE, and other offices.

As for expectations, I’ll be mostly conservative. They probably have 1-3 first party titles for the first half of 2021 ready with release dates. Otherwise, I wonder what kind of new games and updates they will show? AoC DLC? Anything related to NSO? Also, I think the next Smash fighter will be someone we didn’t expect (I.e., not Crash, Ryu Hayabusa, Doom Slayer, etc.).

Should be a fun show.
