Fun Facts About Nintendo Directs

Here are some fried facts (fun, crispy, and maybe a little extra) about Nintendo Direct!

🔥 1. The First Nintendo Direct Was a Glorified PowerPoint

The debut Nintendo Direct aired in October 2011, hosted by Satoru Iwata himself. It was a simple, no-frills presentation—just Iwata-san talking to the camera with game trailers. No fancy transitions, no skits—just pure, unfiltered Nintendo hype.

🎭 2. Reggie Fils-Aimé’s First Direct Was a Meme Goldmine

When Reggie (former Nintendo of America president) first appeared in a 2013 Direct, fans lost it. His 'My body is ready' moment (from a 2007 E3 interview) became legendary, and his deadpan humor made him an instant fan favorite.

🕶️ 3. The 'Direct' Name Was Almost Something Else

Nintendo considered calling these presentations 'Nintendo Channel' or 'Nintendo Network', but settled on 'Direct' because it felt more personal—like Nintendo was speaking straight to fans.

🎮 4. The Longest Direct Was Over 45 Minutes

The February 2017 Nintendo Direct clocked in at 45 minutes and 56 seconds, packed with Switch game reveals like Splatoon 2, ARMS, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

⚡ 5. The Shortest Direct Was Under 3 Minutes

In April 2020, Nintendo dropped a 2-minute, 40-second 'Mini Direct' focusing on Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Fans were like, 'Wait, that’s it?!'

🎤 6. There Was a Nintendo Direct… in a Bathroom?

In 2019, Nintendo of Japan aired a 'Direct' inside a bathroom stall, with a developer casually talking about Luigi’s Mansion 3 while washing his hands. Only Nintendo.

🎉 7. Some Directs Have Hidden ARGs (Alternate Reality Games)

The September 2019 Direct had a secret Morse code in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons segment. Fans decoded it to find a hidden website teasing the game’s release date.

🤡 8. The 'Mr. Iwata Directs' Were Unhinged

Satoru Iwata’s quirky skits—like him smashing through a wall or dressing as a chef—became iconic. Fans still miss his charm.

🎲 9. Nintendo Once Trolled Fans with a Fake Direct

In April 2020, a fake 'Nintendo Direct 4.1.2020' image spread online. Nintendo responded by tweeting a blank image—savage.

🚀 10. The Most-Watched Direct Ever? The Switch Reveal!

The January 2017 Switch Presentation (technically a Direct) had over 3 million live viewers, making it the most hyped Nintendo event ever.

Bonus Fact: There’s No Set Schedule

Unlike PlayStation or Xbox, Nintendo drops Directs whenever they feel like it, keeping fans in a constant state of anticipation.
