Nintendo has been very, very quiet since the last Nintendo Direct. They hosted a few Nintendo Directs here and there, but nothing to write home about. Most of the Directs during Summer were partner showcases, with one or two announcements each. On the morning of September 3rd, Nintendo hosted a livestream to announce Super Mario Bros.’s 35th Anniversary celebration. In the livestream, there was announcements for games, licensed products, partners’ products, and other products to be sold during the Mario’s 35th Anniversary…
