After about twenty minutes of inconsistent buffering, I was finally able to view the Nintendo Direct. It was disappointing that the buffering was so horrible, I actually had to view it via the UK link, however Nintendo always does a fantastic job of uploading the directs quickly. So, rather than a play by play, enjoy the video below! Be sure to share your thoughts here, and in the forums!
