A different chap presented Nintendo Direct today, but it hasn't ruled Iwata out from future sessions.
Nintendo of Japan held a Direct broadcast today, confirming various tidbits including a fresh look at a new Dragon Quest VIII trailer, plus a stunning first look at the glorious world of Monster Hunter X in motion on 3DS.
The stream was presented by Nintendo staffer Morimoto. Despite the change in presenter, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata confirmed that he will still be involved, but felt it would be interesting to see someone different present this time.
Are fresh faces needed for future Nintendo Direct presentations?
