I have some thoughts on the Direct: the Mario of it all, the shocks, and of course some disappointment. Here we gooooo. Can we just talk about Mario first? I think we should talk about Mario. Today’s Nintendo Direct had a large segment on Mario. It lasted around 20 minutes. Honestly I felt like that was a bit too much…
