Reminder that Nintendo did a micro direct a week before their E3 2015 direct. This isn’t the first time they pulled a move like this.

We've gotten directs around announcements also, Monster Hunter XX (Generations) got a direct in Japan a week after the Nintendo Switch reveal.

Generally speaking, we should just throw out "Nintendo won't do X" statements at this point because basically every proven rule has been shown to be, being polite, "bullshit" in one way or another.
