I think Nintendo should have a pretty interesting conference.
If you take a look at what Nintendo's been doing with third parties, you'll get an idea of what to expect. Nintendo seems to essentially be bankrolling exclusive third party games like Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, Lego City, Shin Megami x Fire Emblem, and so on, and I think they'll continue this trend. I'd expect a couple of decently big exclusives from third parties. Nothing like "Resident Evil 7 is a Wii U exclusive" but relatively big franchises.
In terms of Nintendo first party stuff, we know about Mario Kart Wii U which should be more of the same. Smash Bros should also be more of the same, which isn't a bad thing. Super Mario Galaxy Wii U is the most exciting of the confirmed Wii U games. I really think that there is something interesting to be done with the Gamepad here. I think we might see something like a full co-op 3D Mario game. Having two players with the full freedom to explore large levels could be something that would really turn heads and reinvigorate the 3D platform genre.
The other big reveals would be whatever Retro is working on. Retro hasn't made anything since DKCR so they have to pop up again at some point. We have a DKCR 3Dmake in the works, but if Nintendo is actually wasting Retro on that, they deserve to go bankrupt. Hopefully Retro will provide the "hardcore" showpiece for Nintendo's E3.
And hopefully Shiggy will provide the casual showpiece. Miyamoto has an ingenious knack for figuring out how to connect with gamers and non-gamers alike, The Wii U needs a Wii Sports like game (hopefully not just Wii Sports 2) so hopefully they'll provide one.
So yeah, could be a good year. Those are my guesses at this point for Nintendo.
