The next best thing to a Direct
[Update: Of all possible things, WayForward’s game turned out to beBakugan: Champions of Vestroia.]
The Nintendo Direct format may or may not be transforming –time will tell– but Treehouse lives.

During a just-announcedNintendo Treehouse: Livestream scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Pacific on June 15, 2025, Nintendo will debut a new WayForward game and previewPaper Mario: The Origami King.
Here’s the curious part: the mystery game is “a title in a franchise new to developer WayForward.” Am I reading into that too much, or are the implications really exciting? I hope they’re borrowing an IP.

[Update: Nintendoclarifiedthat WayForward’s new game is “based on a third-party property.”]
You could put WayForward onjust aboutany series and I’d be stoked to check it out.
