I wish Nintendo would stop most of their Directs. Most of them just lead to disappointment in my eyes and an unhealthy hype cycle. And so many people hype them up way worse than I do.
A big look at individual games would be enough. I'd be more than fine at this point to just get shadow drops of unveilings of new games without them in a Nintendo Direct.
One of the things about anticipation is that for about 4 or more years now I keep saying: Is this the Direct we get the new 3D Mario announced? We obviously know it's one of those games that is pretty much always in planning and development but still.

These past two months are the first two months in many years where I haven’t been super fixated on awaiting an upcoming Direct, and I must say, it has been extremely refreshing. It’s no longer as though Nintendo is constantly weaving between “Everything is good” and “Everything is bad! We need a Direct NOW! It’s February/June/September”, but rather, “Hmm I wonder what game I’ll play this weekend.”
