You're not mistaken and that's exactly it, The Wii U did get an E3 conference but still sold terribly before the next E3. Meanwhile, 3DS still sold well without em and now the Switch is too.

3DS was part of same conferences like Wii U, and 3DS sold great and still selling great. Switch also didn't had E3 hype and doing great.

Nintendo is the king of the handheld market. It has no direct competition to fight with for sales. It doesn't really need to market their products in that market.  E3 is more about home consoles and switch is a part of it. It is in nintendo's best interest to pitch their hardware as strongly as they can to gamers and casuals. Everyone knows that nintendo home consoles are front loaded. We'll see how well the switch sells after it hits 15 to 20 mil. The real question is it gonna sell like a nintendo handheld or a nintendo home console. We'll see. 

Actually Vita was competition and 3DS destroyed it. That really doesn't matter, point is that Nintendo E3s are not reason why Wii U failed.
