Nintendo hosted their 12th annual Nintendo Direct broadcast, somewhat trolling the fans with empty excitement upon seeing Shigeru Miyamoto, a longstanding creative mind at Nintendo. Normally, he exclusively makes appearances when there are extremely large announcements, like the announcement of Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan.
