I prefer Nintendo Directs (and other gaming showcases) over announcing games on social media. It drives more hype IMO.
My only issue with some showcases is when they are an hour or 2 long and showcase 50+ games all with short trailer that are 1-2 minutes long. I just forget most games by the end. I prefer a showcase to have fewer titles (20 or fewer) and most of them getting a longer trailer of say 4 to 5 minutes with maybe one or 2 sizzle reals for smaller games.
