Nintendo not holding traditional E3 press conference this year?

Without a big E3 conference, Nintendo are drifting further away from the core market they so desperately wanted with the WiiU, there is no way to spin this positively. The last good Nintendo E3 conference was the 3DS full unveil, the others have been terrible and I know Nintendo Directs appease the Nintendo fans, but they don't have a reach big enough to get to the mass market, E3 would do that.

It doesn't matter that they are on the show floor, they won't be dropping the megatons needed from the show floor, to save the WiiU's image this year they needed to come out all guns blazing at E3 with an insane conference and gameplay trailers and presentations of games that will appeal to multiplatform gamers, with Nintendo Directs, I think that market is crucially lost.

Nintendo is having a party with themselves like they always do.
