It was so good for road trips its not even funny.
Seems like they plan to hold info directs around the E3 period. The next section confuses me it seems to suggest they may not have an E3 conference at all
Yes, Xbox has been on fire compared to everyone else (AFAICT). It's kind of nutty.

Nintendo pretty much went "fuck you" for Tokyo Game Show, I don't see why they can't do it for E3.

At this years E3 we will not be announcing a new hardware system, so E3's primary mission will be to have [press, analysts] experience our software. Many people would like to know more about the titles for Wii U that will be announced. We will use the timing of E3 to focus on providing details about our Wii U titles for release this year, and intend to create opportunities for guests to the conference to experience them immediately. We will attempt to use this year's E3 to make announcements in a new way that we have not tried before.

Oh wow I really hope not... that would be weird to receive E3 announcements through a Nintendo Direct without a crowd.
I was personally hoping they were referring to offering E3 demos through their eShop. Wishful thinking I know.
maybe they'll treat it like an entertainment show and have no one on stage doing gameplay. show a pikmin animation short, "come check out pikmin after the show". show a short mario trailer,"come see the titles in action afterwards", etc. that way the press gets their exclusives rather than nintendo taking it all for themselves.

I think replacing the usual conference with a Nintendo Direct would be a great idea, honestly. Audience reactions have mostly sucked lately anyway from all conferences with everybody being jaded and quiet, while the hosts awkwardly wait for applause.
Can post replies
You can reply and "yeah"
So the meeting's done or are they doing Q&A? The Q&A is often entertaining and once in a while sheds some interesting news.

If true, it would be yet another instance of Nintendo refusing to compete when the going gets tough. They let MS/Sony bully them out of both the high end and casual markets, which led to the middle of the road Wii U. Guys need to grow some balls.
Nintendo also put this up for the briefing: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/130425.pdf
Cheese translated this small tidbit.
My body feels so good right now.
Interesting.
Just don't focus too much on Wii U____ games, Nintendo.
Edit:
WTF? seriously? someone asked for a possible new hardware reveal? lol ok.

FOR SOME REASON, THIS IS EXCITING TO ME.
Worried, but also interested on what they mean.
United KingdomI'd say yes, yes, yes, and I don't know what else the last could be?
This must be EU breakdown by country:
UK, France, Germany, don't know the rest. Germany seems to be best performing region in terms of marketshare for WiiU.

Spain

Nintendo has several smaller scale events planned with the focus on titles for the NA market this E3. That is, instead of their one, large presentation they typically hold. Iwata will not appear at any of these events. Besides that, they're investigating a new means of transmitting this information directly to fans that can't attend the event.
So, basically it will be like all of their best E3s...only WITHOUT Reggie's slow-motion rambling and chart fapping. Nothing but games?
Don't tease me, Nintendo.
They don't have to worry about hyping new consoles like they have for the past several E3s, so they can spend this one entirely on hyping software.
It also looks like they are going to focus this one more on the WiiU than 3DS, which could explain the last few Nintendo Directs being more 3DS focused.

Sounds good to me. Their last two press conferences have been terrible, so change is good.

In the past, we have announced new titles at Investor's Meetings and then uploaded videos onto the internet, but with new methods like Nintendo Direct, that we have now, we believe that we are able to provide more appropriate and effective information separately to people from different standpoints and interests [gamer, investor, etc].
First, we have decided not to hold a large-scale presentation where new news is presented to a general audience from all over the world as in previous years. Instead, we are planning several smaller events for software targeted at the American market. One of these will be a closed event for distributors, and another will be a closed event for the Western press. I did not appear in last years presentation, and I do not intend to appear in these events either. Apart from these closed events, during E3, we are deliberating how to deliver game information to those at home using new methods, so we will announce further plans later.
In clear words:
No E3 conference.
your right but e3 is my christmas lol
It'd be interesting if the had demos available during E3 so that people at home could try games out as the attendees do.

E3 is going to be developers playing their games the whole time or something? Kamiya on stage?!!! Do you eat shit?

Nintendo not doing E3 conference would be end of an era. I really hope they do a conference and big bomb announcements there and not in Directs. This years E3 would be perfect with all 3 going all out in conferences.
Yep.Found the old image:
Should presumably be the same order?
Just seems like they're focusing on (new) software at this E3 and making sure every one tries the demos I guess.
Maybe announce games in a Direct right before E3 and then show more of the games at the actual conference?

CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED!
I take it off every year as well and the one year I did work through it I kept making excuses to go in the back room and fix computers, which I did...while streaming e3.
Couldn't that mean that the E3 conference will just be about games and not new news? Can't imagine Nintendo not doing an E3 conference.
Hm wording is a bit weird but I hope that doesn't mean that all they are showing is stuff coming this year.

For what it's worth, this is what I got for EU marketshare.
Unfortunately, it won't provide any unit information.
Code:
Marketshare %
3DS 17.5
NDS 1.5
WII 8.5
WIU 4.5
PSP 10.5
PSV 5.5
PS3 30.5
360 21.5Sure does sound like it, and frankly, I think it's a mistake. At least, not a significant price drop.

A Nintendo Direct to coincide with Microsoft's Xbox reveal would be amazing.
