As well as prompting excitement about upcoming manga and events, the video\u2019s lively presentation style was giving Japanese social media users d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu in a good way, as it reminded them of Nintendo Direct.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30cb\u30f3\u30c0\u30a4\u3059\u304e\u3066\u4eca\u7206\u7b11\u3057\u3066\u308b\u3001\u307f\u3093\u306a\u898b\u305f\u65b9\u304c\u3044\u3044\u3088<br><br>\u3010\u9031\u520a\u5c11\u5e74\u30b8\u30e3\u30f3\u30d7\u3011\u30b8\u30e3\u30f3\u30d7PRESS 2024.05.27 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2IClZD9JUf\">https:\/\/t.co\/2IClZD9JUf<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YouTube?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@YouTube<\/a>\u3088\u308a<\/p>&mdash; \u9055\u6cd5\u30d0\u30bf\u30d4\u30fc (@batapys1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/batapys1\/status\/1795048215496032654?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 27, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> \u00a0<em>It\u2019s so Nintendo I burst out laughing.

Running since October 2011, the bulletin is characterized by its simple and colorful presentation of bite-sized news narrated over enticing clips of upcoming games. It has often been presented by Nintendo\u2019s senior executives, including late president Satoru Iwata. The suited executives stand in front of an animated background and introduce the games in a cheerful manner. This presentation style has been mimicked by Shonen Jump, with their editor in chief Hiroyuki Nakano standing in front of an animated background featuring the publication\u2019s logo. The concise presentation of news items accompanied by simple, uncluttered graphics and video footage also calls back to Nintendo Direct.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"502\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240529-31588-001.jpg\" alt=\"Nintendo Direct\" class=\"wp-image-31595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240529-31588-001.jpg 900w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240529-31588-001-380x212.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240529-31588-001-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240529-31588-001-600x335.jpg 600w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Above: <em>Shinya Takahashi and Yoshiaki Koizumi present the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mrZtzGRAKrM?feature=shared\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">June 21, 2023<\/a> episode of Nintendo Direct.

The honeycomb-like intro animation showing the logos of various manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump has also received <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/laughtele\/status\/1795050810922958978\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">compliments from viewers<\/a>. A similar style graphic would not look out of place in a Nintendo Direct broadcast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coincidentally, the first episode of Jump Press and the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/RzXHbR9NzL8?feature=shared&amp;t=1320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest episode<\/a> of Nintendo Direct (February 21 2024) featured the inescapable presence of highly popular Japanese baseball star and Los Angeles Dodgers\u2019 player Shohei Otani. As announced in Jump Press, Otani will be one of the judges for the new Jump Sports Manga Award.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an aside, Nintendo and Shonen Jump did a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4gamer.net\/games\/999\/G999902\/20180706095\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">collaboration in 2018<\/a>&#8211; releasing a special Weekly Shonen Jump 50<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary version of the Nintendo Classic Mini Famicom (NES). The mini console featured 20 NES games originally released between 1985 to 1993 that had some connection to Jump. This included games based on manga serialized in Jump, such as Fist of the North Star and Dragon Ball.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manga anthology magazine Weekly Shonen Jump&#8217;s brand new news program on YouTube is reminding people of Nintendo Direct in a good way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":31598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,65],"tags":[17,33],"class_list":["post-31588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-nongaming-news","tag-japan-related-news","tag-nintendo"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
