We don’t need more trailers and movie details!!!

Seriously anything but a General direct, I don't own a Switch 2 but like to watch the general directs
I can't help but feel like they're doing it on purpose at this point.
It's to get people excited for the movie.
Please just give us a direct about 1st party games.
We really getting all kinds of Directs except for a general one lol Nintendo must be cooking up something special!
I'm expecting a new Mario jump and run, Smash and Splatoon 4 in the next general direct
Honestly feels like they're just taunting us now.
... why?
Looks like we're getting all kinds of Directs, but none for Switch 2 first party titles.
Curious why they aren’t dropping this on Mar10 Day? Perhaps they’ve got something else planned?
It is dropping on Mar10 Day in Japan. Just not in the Americas or Europe.
But does the date even spell “Mar10” in Japanese? My understanding is that Mar10 is intended for March 10th specifically in the States/EU, never JP. They’ve also got some NSO tiles dropping for March 10th specifically, which means they’re still focused on that date.
The calendar pun doesn't work but they still celebrate it.
