Nintendo *is* doing an E3 conference

The last 3 or 4 Nintendo Directs were E3 Conferences?

Nintendo Direct =/= E3 conference

Nintendo E3 Booth = Nintendo being at E3

You are confusing yourself between what a conference is and a pre-recorded video demonstration is.

In terms of what is shown THIS year

This is a pre-recorded video released in Japan's daytime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuJZP0_8iQ

This is a Conference (which is live) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fbphciz3Pw

The only difference is "live".

Same show. Same time/date. Same content. Same location.

Better delivery. Option to do more hands-on as physical space in Kodak theater is freed up for hands-on stuff like last year.

It is an E3 conference/presentation/etc.
