There will be an E3 conference... just not live...
Whether it'll succeed or fail has never been dependent on whether it's live or digital, but about the content they show for the fans.
Sure, we had great live conferences like 2006 and 2010... but we also had less-than-great (that's putting it lightly) conferences with 2008 and 2012. Being live or not had very little to do with their successes and failures. Nintendo will impress with new features, games, and announcements, not CEO and talking heads going on about sales, ecosystems, and other buzzwords.
And with a digital conference, the only technical issue they have to worry about is their live-feed (which *was* piss poor last year. Hopefully they'll have that fixed this time... >_>). No more crashing games (Assassin's Creed at the PS conference) or broken controls due to interference (Skyward Sword). Nintendo will show us exactly what they want to show us, and they'll succeed or fail based off of that. |
Last year they announced the new 3D Mario and the new Mario Kart, both HD for Wii U. Did you feel the hype? Because I don't.

I felt hype for Mario Kart because the trailer exceeded my expectations. I felt no hype and a little rage because SM3DW looked awful to me. But much of that was do to the uninspired name for the game, the very weak trailer they showed and the laggy, poor quality feed that made the game look like a 3DS title. If they let Reggie to more talking, have a more flashy presentation and boost the quality/kill the lag it could boos the hype levels.... as long as the games themeselves look good.
