Y'know, I sorta gave it a bit more thought. Nintendo just straight up shadowdropping Joker and the Ver 3.0.0. update out of nowhere with the video and all is starting to make me think that the way of Directs will be shifted a bit slightly.
We've been seeing Nintendo announce stuff more and more lately that you'd think would be a part of a Direct, but nope, is now out in the open. With a new NOA president, I don't have too much to ask for from Doug, and maybe I'm starting to get a bit sick and tired of Directs, but...
If we can get the return of live conferences from Nintendo, then God, will the reveals be THAT more impactful. They did it in 2017, there's no reason not to, really.
