The benefits of no Nintendo Directs (or fewer) in favour of shadow drop trailers…
I love a Nintendo Direct as much as the next person but personally I’m really happy with how all these trailer drops are coming over the main Direct system.
With a Direct there’s a release pattern and then an announcement and then everyone expects Mario and Zelda and then a disappointment and good games get missed as it’s too much info at once etc.
This way Nintendo has been releasing info has a nice surprise element to it. It allows the game to shine on its own. There are no unrealistic expectations it’s battling and everyone can think about it for a week until the next thing.
Nintendo are still going to be releasing all the games we know they will. There’s been at least one good/great Switch 2 game ever month, I’m busy having fun playing games and can’t wait for the rest of the year!
