E3 2006 was great because it really hyped the Wii and people caught on on how it works, especially with games like Twilight Princess, Wii Sports, Metroid Prime 3, and Super Mario Galaxy.
E3 2010 was another gem with Skyward Sword (despite the technical issues due to outside interference), Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Goldeneye 007, Epic Mickey, NBA Jam, and the unveiling of the 3DS and the revival of Kid Icarus.
E3 2014 was great as well, even though we knew a pretty good amount of the games already. It was the execution, I believe, that really took the cake. Bayonetta 1 and 2 in one package? Zelda Wii U teaser. The tease of the return of Star Fox. Palutena, Mii Fighters, and Pac-Man in Smash? The Smash Tournament was hype (especially Mega Man's final smash) and the Treehouse event was unique, showing consumers 3 days of straight-up gameplay. Of course, I cannot forget Splatoon, Xenoblade X, Yoshi, and Super Mario Maker, which were great highlights this year.
I would also like to add E3 2013. If people complain that we've already heard about the games unveiled during that presentation, then we could say the same thing for 2014 outside of Splatoon, Kirby, and Mario Maker. 3D World and Tropical Freeze ended up being two of the best platformers so far in this generation. Great seeing more footage of Pokemon X and Y. Finally, ending the presentation with the game that created hype before, during, and even over two years after it's initial unveiling, Super Smash Bros. I mean, who would've thought Mega Man would've made it after years of being left behind by Capcom? I still cannot stop replaying some of the reactions to this particular trailer of Smash.
