Will Nintendo Directs continue now that Iwata has passed?

The other day, we got quite a bit of info dumped on us from Nintendo. It was a bunch of content that would have seemed right at home in a Nintendo Direct, but that never came. We haven't seen a direct since the passing of Satoru Iwata. That's completely understandable considering the circumstances, but that leaves us with a question. Will Nintendo return to creating Nintendo Direct presentations like they used to?


I'm of two minds when it comes to this discussion. Letting the Nintendo Directs stay dormant after Iwata's passing could be seen as a sign of respect. With that said, I also feel like the Direct events were something special that Nintendo had under their belt. I'd hate to think that they'll be gone forever. Perhaps Nintendo is cooking up a new idea to take the place of Directs.
