Direct or N Direct?



Around the Network

If they still keep dropping announcements like Paper Mario, then it's not the worst thing in the world.

It'll be fine for Nintendo. I see the third party companies and indies being the most affected by this since having their games featured in a Direct was great exposure for them.

I wonder if Nintendo might agree to post their announcements/trailers on Nintendo's YouTube channel.

Signature goes here!

I was feeling it

I don't care as long they keep releasing teasers for their newer games but so far the second half seems so empty and I'm sure by the end of year I will finish all my backlog due to the lockdown which is a bit underwhelming. But I guess it could be fine time to experience some other hobbies besides games



Hmm I thought nintendo could still do Nintendo directs pity. I just miss the reactions, it is fun to watch it with the easy allies oh well.

Yeah, makes sense. Nothing stopping them from Twitter Directs though.



Okay, as long as we get new game announcements/trailers. I usually don't watch the actual directs anyway.

But as long as there are still announcements, that's fine. There have been Nintendo Directs that I have really been disappointed in because it's a 30+ minute slog of games I'm not interested in. This a la carte reveal strategy could work for the rest of this year.
Nintendo better drop some first-party trailers next month for games coming out this year and next year.

That is sad.
