Actually when I think about it... Who the hell cares? They are never any good at E3 anyways just a big waste of money maybe they them selfs realize this and feel there is no point I mean they couldn't wow anyone other then their own fan base with two straight E3's and now the PlayStation 4 and the new Xbox will be at E3 they would have No chance at anything so what they do? Hide in the shadows and show what little they have to whoever still care... Smart move other wise they might of got laughed at right off the stage.

A few follow-up questions to your post:

Who is Nintendo's fan base?

Why will the inclusion of new hardware from Sony and Microsoft preclude Nintendo from "winning" E3?

Why would Nintendo get "laughed...right off the stage"?

Repost from the locked thread.

They have nothing to show at E3... just it.

And anything that they show will be obfuscated by PS4 and Nextbox.

New post but similar from the other thread.

 

Kinda like how the ps3 failed against the Wii right?

 

Sony would kill to have a franchise close to one of Nintendo's top 5.

Why should Sony envy them? Because of the quality of gameplay? That is subjective. Because of sells? The top five? Number five is NSMBWii and that franchise's successor already released with the WiiU and it's sells are nothing compared to what its predecesor achieved and it hasn't sold as well as Sony's best franchises, which brings Mario to a new reality, or the reality it has had before the Wii. We will wait and see how the rest of the top five perform when released on the WiiU.

If you think that sells make companies envious of other people's IPs then I guess you feel Nintendo is envious of Activision and Rockstar IPs.


New super Mario bros games are long time sellers. The same way Mario Kart is a long time seller. So far, with less than 4million WiiU sold, they sold over 2.5million NSMBU... That is excelent numbers considering the number of hardware out there. And that game will keep selling during the entirity of WiiU's lifepan. Most like 1 out of every 3 WiiU hardware sale will mean a automatic NSMBU sale. No question that this game will sell over 5million lifetime. It's success is entirely upon the hardware's sucess now, if WiiU sales reach 50mil, their is no doubt in my mind that NSMBU will reach around 15mil.

one less conference to watch?

why do this to me Nintendo?

on a more serious note i dont see how this can benefit them, now we have to rely on the media to transmit the games and the media has been so biased against nintendo lately. Besides E3 conferences are a big deal! not everyone watches nintendo direct so whatever information nintendo will want to transmit to gamers will be filtered by the gaming media.

That is actually probably one good thing, this likely means the event will be gamer focused and not some kind of Wii Music type debacle where they spend half and hour on something 3/4ths of the audience doesn't want to see.

I think even Nintendo recoginizes deep down the Wii Fit/Brain Training days are moving behind them.

Because if they had some kind of new casual crazy or "gimmick" to sell they likely would want the mass media there.
