In its announcement posts for the show, Nintendo said, &#8220;We&#8217;ll share a few updates on a small group of previously-announced Nintendo Switch games&#8221;, clearly attempting to dampen the levels of hype such an announcement would usually spark.<\/p>\n<p>Still, though, a quick search for <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23NintendoDirect&amp;src=trend_click&amp;f=live\">&#8216;Nintendo Direct&#8217;<\/a> on social media brings up plenty of comments from those who have been left feeling angry after wanting and expecting more. For every angry comment, you&#8217;ll find another from those who are in disbelief that any anger can even exist following Nintendo&#8217;s hype-killing comments, and a similar story can be seen across our very own comment sections.<\/p>\n<p>So, we hand it over to you.
