Nintendo Direct ^[a] es una serie de presentaciones en línea o programas en vivo producidos por Nintendo , donde se presenta información sobre el contenido o las franquicias de la compañía, como información sobre juegos y consolas. ^[1] Las presentaciones comenzaron en Japón y América del Norte con la primera edición el 21 de octubre de 2011, para luego expandirse a Europa, Australia y Corea del Sur.

Formato

Las presentaciones de Nintendo Direct varían en formato entre diferentes presentaciones y regiones.

Diferencias regionales

Los Nintendo Directs generalmente vienen en formatos regionales e internacionales.

Internacional

Para temas de interés general en todo el mundo, a menudo se localiza un único Nintendo Direct para una transmisión internacional simultánea. Por lo general, estos se grabarán en japonés y serán presentados por un presentador japonés. Antes de la muerte del presidente de Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, presentaba Directs tanto en inglés como en japonés, y las presentaciones en otros idiomas estaban subtituladas.

Tras la muerte de Iwata, Nintendo Directs no recibió un anfitrión mundial hasta 2017, cuando Yoshiaki Koizumi de Nintendo EPD asumió este papel. Desde 2018, Koizumi ha compartido esta responsabilidad con Shinya Takahashi.

Desde 2017, los roles del presentador japonés y de los narradores serán doblados o subtitulados para su lanzamiento internacional, incluso al inglés.

Las presentaciones programadas para la época de la Electronic Entertainment Expo suelen ser producidas por Nintendo of America , presentadas y narradas en inglés para su transmisión internacional.

Japón

En Japón, los Nintendo Directs fueron presentados con mayor frecuencia por el presidente global de Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, hasta su muerte en 2015, con Yoshiaki Koizumi ahora como anfitrión.

Desde 2017, Japón ha organizado presentaciones de "Indie World" específicas de la región, centrándose en juegos independientes publicados para Nintendo Switch.

Las direcciones centradas en Super Smash Bros. suelen estar alojadas por el creador y director de la serie, Masahiro Sakurai .

América del Norte

En América del Norte, los videos fueron presentados a menudo por el presidente de Nintendo of America , Reggie Fils-Aimé (antes de retirarse en 2019) y Bill Trinen .

Para los Directs internacionales producidos en Japón desde 2017, Nintendo of America emitiría una versión doblada del Direct en inglés; aunque tres notables excepciones de tenerlo subtitulado en lugar de doblado fueron las presentaciones de Mr. Sakurai Presents con "Min Min" de ARMS , "Steve & Alex" de Minecraft para Super Smash Bros. Ultimate y "Sephiroth" de Final Fantasy VII en 2020 Tanto el presentador como el narrador son doblados por narradores separados.

Desde 2017, Nintendo of America ha presentado presentaciones centradas en juegos independientes publicados para Nintendo Switch. Entre 2017 y 2019, estos se marcaron como "Nindies Showcase", antes de alinear su marca con el banner japonés "Indie World".

Europa y Australia

Las Directivas europeas fueron presentadas por el ex presidente de Nintendo of Europe , Satoru Shibata. Estas presentaciones también se retransmitieron en Australia.

Australia generalmente solo transmite la salida europea, pero se creó un Direct específicamente para la región, transmitido el 24 de septiembre de 2014. Este Direct fue presentado por Tom Enoki.

Para los Directs internacionales producidos en Japón desde 2017, Nintendo of Europe transmite el audio japonés original para los presentadores, pero utilizará un doblaje en inglés para las secciones narradas. Luego se subtitulan para su transmisión en otros idiomas. Desde 2019, Pokémon Direct y Pokémon Presents son los únicos Directs doblados para Europa y Australia en inglés, sin embargo, están subtitulados en diferentes idiomas con el doblaje en inglés.

Desde 2017, Nintendo of Europe ha transmitido presentaciones centradas en juegos independientes publicados para Nintendo Switch. De 2017 a 2018, Nintendo of Europe transmitió las presentaciones estadounidenses "Nindies Showcase". En 2018 y 2019, Nintendo of Europe presentó sus propios videos "Indie Highlights". A partir de 2019, volvieron a retransmitir las presentaciones de Nintendo of America, ahora bajo el lema "Indie World".

Corea del Sur

Corea del Sur también ha transmitido Nintendo Directs exclusivo presentado por el presidente de Nintendo of Korea, Hiroyuki Fukuda.

Hong Kong y Taiwán

Se han producido algunas presentaciones de Nintendo Direct específicamente para Hong Kong y Taiwán.

Nintendo E3 Directs

Since June 2013, in lieu of traditional large-scale Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) press conferences, Nintendo has opted to utilize the Nintendo Direct platform as an alternative method of conveying its news. Speaking at an annual March financial results briefing just two months prior, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata stated that the company's decision was determined by the fact that “different people demand different types of information”, and that the Nintendo Direct platform had established itself to the point that Nintendo would “be able to deliver [their] messages more appropriately and effectively … based on the various needs of different groups of people”.^[2] Christopher Dring of GamesIndustry.biz observed that the last press conference that Nintendo held at E3 in 2012 featured too much of a mix between Nintendo's new hardware for the Wii U and game announcements. Compared to other press conferences held that year, Nintendo's presentation left little for fans of the company to be excited for. By switching to Nintendo Directs, Dring opined that the company was able to better connect to fans using the Nintendo Direct presentations, made the faces of Nintendo's executives more visible, as well as having Directs outside of the E3 cycle to provide more frequent updates on game and hardware releases.^[3]

During the stream of the prerecorded broadcast for E3 2013, Nintendo's website suffered from technical difficulties in the form of overloaded servers, rendering the live video unwatchable for many viewers, and prompting an official apology from Mr. Iwata.^[4] Despite these difficulties, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé noted that secondary viewership following the initial broadcast still worked to popularize product promotion.^[5]

The following year, in addition to the Direct, the company added "Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3" live streams to their presence at the trade event.^[6] Named after the Product Development department at Nintendo of America, these are daily streams from the show floor that feature NoA localization staff and game developers demoing and giving in-depth coverage of titles that were announced during that year's Direct. The year also began a trend of Nintendo hosting a game tournament sometime during the week, in which the participants compete in titles that had yet to be released.
