Nintendo *is* doing an E3 conference

...and that is why an actual conference is better. It sticks in the mind.

If they had done an actual live show with the same exact trailers and just with more talking, it would have had equal impact. The trailers they showed last year were uninspired for the most part (aside from secondary trailers for both X and Bayonetta 2), but they really undersold their heaviest hitters: 3D World, Kart 8, and Tropical Freeze. That would have been the same either way, and arguably could have been worse before a live audience, because the way they portrayed 3D World made it look like an up-ressed 3D Land, instead of what we ended up getting.
