I have been following e3 for years now and this is the best one I have ever seen a company have.
The new hardware of the 3ds was the talk of the show. New hardware always creates a lot of buzz at e3 so unless Nintendo shows the Wii successor as well as next gen home console games for the system that blows everyone away I don't believe Nintendo will be able to top this e3 next year.

I've been following E3 for the last decade pretty much. I'd have to say that E3 2006 took the cake. I have never seen any show as good as that one including this years. Nintendo showed a heck of alot more software for the Wii at its unvieling then they did for 3DS at its unvieling.

E3 2006 for Nintendo was ok. They had already showed what the Wii hardware looked like at the previous e3 so the excitement from that was gone. Their big core launch title was Zelda twilight princess a game that had been delayed numerous times on the gamecube. People were unsure of if motion controls would work with titles like Metroid and Mario and intial third party offerings were sparce. So most people had mixed feelings. The ds stuff was excellent though.
At this e3 they showed and announced great software for 3 systems. They showed golden sun and dragon quest 9 on the ds. On the 3ds they showed kid icarus at the conference but the most impressive thing was their list of third party support and the games that were shown for the system later in e3 Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Splinter Cell, Kingdom Hearts, Starfox, Zelda ocarina of time, Super Street Fighter 4 etc. Also just listing the features of the new system makes you realize that this is the most ambitious Nintendo system ever created.
For the Wii this year there was Zelda Skyward Sword, Metroid other M, Epic Mickey, Donkey Kong, Golden eye, Kirby etc
Nintendo was impressive across 3 platforms in 2010 while in 2006 I say they were impressive with the ds but they weren't that impressive with the Wii because in the early stages it looked like most games could be done on the gamecube and they just had motion controls tacked on. No one is going to say that the 3ds is just a ds with 3d tacked on.
