Actually, I feel this is starting to become the norm for Nintendo. Whenever a new Nintendo game is set to launch, info in the form of directs come out beforehand. And then there's just updates on upcoming games, which are also really great.

I really like the this set up Nintendo has.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. Though I still do like having a few big Directs a year.

Yeah, they still happen. Maybe 2 or 3 a year? They usually have one around the end of the year and another in the spring.

Dance my pretties!

Yep! And I think Nintendo knows that these directs are working. And wasnt there a DQ Japanese direct a while ago?

I expect another one for
- Mario Rabbids
- FE warriors (to introduce the final line up and how things work)
- The Animal Crossing Mobile + Animal crossing Switch announcement xD

Pocky Lover Boy!

Prior to Iwata's illness, we gots fairly big direct every month. I miss those, but it seems Nintendo is getting their media act together again. I like how they made a version of the old Wii Nintendo Channel on the Switch, and gave it a much more prominent position on the OS. It means that the first place to look for news and details is when turning on the Switch in the morning; and there's no loading (like on the Wii U, which didn't have the news feature), it's instant!

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
