Well the other issue is E3 is a looooooooong time away. Are they just going sit on everything exciting until June? The Wii U needs help like *now*, lol. Nintendo wasted a year already not bothering to market the system at all, the poor thing has been trudging through a desert with no water.
And there's nothing really that big from now until June. Nintendo Direct's are a waste. They're just pom-pom waving sessions for hardcore Nintendo fans that were going to buy the next Mario/Zelda no matter what anyway.
I think VGX really honestly is the best bet.
They can still save plenty for E3 like Miyamoto's new IP (which will probably be more family oriented anyway), Pokken Fighters (?), Animal Crossing U (?), and playable Zelda for example.
We're just so conditioned to E3 being the big media event, but really VGX probably will get you a larger audience base of actual gamers. Especially non-Nintendo fans ... that's exactly the audience you want to sell games like X and Bayonetta (and perhaps) Zelda to.
You want some of these people to at least start thinking "wow, I love my PS4/XB1, but that trailer(s) looked pretty awesome, maybe one day I'll grab a Wii U".
