Nintendo Monthly Rewind

Nintendo Monthly Rewind is an online, often short presentation produced by Nintendo. As implied by the title, it provides a recap of new information regarding their franchises, games, consoles or other products, including consoles revealed in given month. It was created in October 2020, partly in response to the ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns that temporarily placed Nintendo Direct presentations on hiatus. Monthly Rewind presentations continued after Nintendo Direct resumed on February 17, 2021.
