Honestly, Nintendo relied so heavily on the casual audience last gen, that they were able to get away with being lazy and only release a handful of real games during Wii's lifetime. With the WiiU, the casual audience is gone and Nintendo is stuck in a position where they actually have to make real games to sell the console. Problem is, they've gotten so lazy and arrogant from the Wii, they don't want to make real games anymore, only rehashes, sequels, ports, reboots, and remakes of the games they made when they were a hardworking video game publisher 20 years ago. They have nothing to show, and that's why they are bowing out of e3. Nintendo is finished.

WiiU is the worst game console since the Wii.

Nintendo is finished and out of ideas.. People are tired of reboots, sequels, remakes and ports.

@diabolik_023 If Nintendo is actually doing this because they can't afford a press conference, then Nintendo is out of luck. They need to just make games as a 3rd party software publisher for xbox and Playstation.

Nintendo is stupid.

@OurSin-360 Nintendo should just start over and make a new system. WiiU is a failure.

Nintendo is finished. This not having an e3 keynote address is a very bad idea. The WiiU needs any press it can get.
