Job listing makes mention of Nintendo Directs

Nintendo Direct was an initiative created by Satoru Iwata. But with his passing back in July, some have wondered if this is something that will continue going forward.

There is at least one piece of news which gives hope for the future. A Nintendo of America job listing for a motion graphics artist mentions that this person will be responsible for editing video/audio for Nintendo Directs, among other content. That’s not a definitive answer regarding the status of the presentations, but it’s encouraging!
