Nintendo not holding traditional E3 press conference this year?

I mean really, there's plenty of software to have made this Nintendo's best E3 that I can remember.

Mario 3D - Nothing shown
Mario Kart U - Nothing shown
Super Smash Bros U - Nothing shown
Zelda: Wind Waker Reborn - 3 still screenshots shown
X - Short clip shown
Bayonetta 2 - No real in-game footage shown other than like a 2 second snipet
Retro's Game - Nothing shown, nothing detailed as of yet, period.
Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem - No in-game footage shown as of yet

I mean, we've seen *nothing* basically on any of these games except X.

That's kind of the puzzling thing is the one year Nintendo has stockpiled a ton of stuff to show, they opt to not have the big stage, whereas in year's past they've had the big stage and basically wasted it by having 20 minutes of Wii Music or Batman: Arkham City port-erific demos.

That's the main thing that gets me about this too.

Why not have a big press conference where you lay all this shit out? It would be more than enough to prove that the console is still viable and has enough support to justify sitting next to the PS4 and 720 come Christmastime. More information/reveals for those games should be getting the red carpet treatment, not smaller-scale closed door events. They don't need E3 to do those--hell, they could do those after the big stage reveals to provide more specific info on each title.

The one time where they can line-up enough to make a big splash--especially compared to their previous E3 showings--and they shrink away instead? It's ridiculous.
