No this is not good. Yes it is important for MSFT, Sony, and nintendo to present casual events like Kinect, Move, etc but they also need to present stuff to the hardcore audience. Nintendo has been presenting hardcore stuff with Nintendo Directs but if they do nothing for E3 then a lot of thunder will be stolen because everybody will be talking about everything else and Nintendo will be criticized for a lackluster performance.

You are right the most important thing is to advertise to the mass market but ignoring hardcore gamers which are usually the early adopters is not smart either. There must be a balance in supporting both casual and hardcore gamers.

Don't forget how much hype E3 generates.  

NIntendo are going up against a PS4 blowout and a Nextbox blowout.

Lets be honest here.

They could show a brand new Zelda for Wii U along with Super Mario U and Smash Bros... And they would still be drowned out. When someone shows new hardware it is the biggest possible thing at E3. When TWO companies are showing new hardware, step aside son.

As long as Nintendo cater to the audience thats interested in Nintendo, then they will have a good E3. Multiple Nintendo Directs (Im assuming Wii U and 3DS will be seperate) is a good start. Its telling us they still have things to show. Its telling us they're not totally abandoning E3. Them being on the show floor and having demos there is still showing us they have games to play.


The WiiU is a new console as well and they should be showing it off.  people already doubt the WiiU and if they show nothing at E3 they will be further criticized.
