[PRE-INTRO + INTRO] Nintendo Direct (4K)
The pre-intro animation played before the July 31st Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. (7.31.2025)
Moving forward, Nintendo of America be using this pre-intro visual before their digital events.
Fun facts:
The Japanese stream was just a static image. Other regions used the usual flap clock countdown.
This same music was played at the countdown before the Switch 2 Direct, but with the previous Direct visual style (no geometric shapes).
Why am I uploading this? Because it's worth archiving.
Extra info:
Downloaded using YT-DLP as soon as the 4K replay was processed and right before Nintendo’s video edit that removes the pre-intro and the end visual was pushed out.
