-'''Nintendo Directs''' are online presentations, often broadcasted live on [[YouTube]] and other streaming services, by [[Nintendo]]. The company uses theses Directs to present information on upcoming video game releases on their consoles, previously with the [[Wii U]] and [[3DS]] and currently with the [[Nintendo Switch]](at the time of writing).
+'''Nintendo Directs''' are pre-recorded online presentations, made available simultaneously on https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/ and on Nintendo's YouTube and Twitch channels. The presentations began in Japan and North America with the first edition on {{Date|y=2011|m=10|d=21}}, before later expanding to versions for Europe, Australia, and South Korea. They vary by region - for instance, the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]] Definitive Edition'' release was announced only in the Japanese version of the {{Date|y=2021|m=9|d=23}} Direct. Usually, there is one associated with E3 (c. June), which leads into a "Nintendo Treehouse" live broadcast, which replaced Nintendo's traditional live press conference.
+There are several subseries of Directs - for instance, ''[[Cadence of Hyrule]]'' was announced in a "Nindies Showcase" (later replaced with "Indie World"), and the DLC for it was announced in a "Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase".
