I feel this way after every Direct, there is always a group of people who say it’s disappointing because some specific game they want isn’t revealed or it focused too much on games they personally don’t care about. If you’re disappointed after every or most general Directs then you’re probably not understanding the point of them.

Too many people expect them to be like E3, this massive extravaganza showing off all the big titles releasing over the next 2 years, despite Nintendo usually giving a more specific time frame of focus. For example, if a Direct is in Feb, Nintendo says it will focus on games releasing through Spring, if the Direct is in June, the focus will be through Fall, etc.

Basically a Direct is meant to promote the games releasing over the next few months and give a little tease of what’s coming beyond that. If more people went into them with that mindset then I think less people would be disappointed every time.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
