I don't think they can match what they did in 2013. I think it will be a good year for the 3DS but not as good as 2013 (2013 was arguably the best lineup for any system really).

What will Nintendo do at E3 2014?

Nothing at the moment. We should know by around week 1 of May , since that's the timeframe they've released this kind of information.
As someone who is finally getting sold on the Wii U again as it quietly matures, I want them to first of all come out and do a stage show with guns blazing like they used to. Secondly, I really want to see an even stronger push for more unique exclusives that sets the system apart. That is all I really need to see.

Awesome, thanks! I have been looking and looking but nothing so far.... They seem like they have a lot to show and with Mario Kart 8 coming out in late May, it seems like they will have at least SOME momentum going into the show (Mario Kart alone should give a significant boost in hardware sales).
It was more than stellar. I maintain that 3DS' 2013 was the best year any console had ever had. Games were coming out all the time, and most of them were good.
I'm expecting something along the lines of this. #dontbelievetheirlies

They'll trot out the same games we've been seeing since 2012 and show concept art for the new Zelda. The Wii U isn't even two years old yet and this will mark its fourth appearance at E3.

I have a very small wishlist this year.
Zelda U reveal (not hyrule warriors)
A brand new Metroid for WiiU
Plethora of info for "X"

I don't think words could express my disappointment if Nintendo went down this route....
We will see a greater focus on the Wii U GamePad with at least two titles utilising the NFC features of the hardware and more integration between the TV and GamePad for gameplay.
A 3DS revision won't happen as it would decrease sales of 3DS until the revision is released and I doubt Nintendo will release a revision this June.
On Animal Crossing:
October 28 2013
"Whats next for Animal Crossing? Can you keep adding more to the current template, or are you thinking of making wider changes?
KE: We have already started thinking about what to do next, but there is no concrete direction yet. First, we need to decide which hardware to develop a new Animal Crossing for, and then we want to use that hardware and find out what its capable of and what kind of features it provides. Then we can start thinking of elements of Animal Crossing and how we can realise them using the hardware. So until we discover these new inventions, we will not decide the direction."
Going on this statement I don't think it's likely that we will see any Animal Crossing news for Wii U this year.

I don't think they can afford that.

While I'm finding it incredibly hard to be optimistic about their presence at E3, I definitely think we'll see some footage of the next Zelda at the very least.
Sadly I'm not expecting much from them at E3.
My insane and crazy wishlist:
SUPER Mario - an open world game and mario can level up and get new powers (run faster, jump higher, fireballs, ice...think crackdown or infamous) and set in the mushroom kingdom or possibly a new world completely. And no bowser...some other bosses
Super Metroid U - side scrolling Metriod. A sequel to Super Metroid with some beautiful graphics and huge areas to explore
Animal Crossing U - similar to skylanders. Collect all the villagers in stores and have them in your town. More stuff to do. More stores and different islands
Zelda U - huge open world Zelda. Go anywhere and do anything. Have a level up system. Buy different armors and other accessories.
Starfox U - great space battles. Also go to different open world planets
3rd pillar - 5in single touch screen device. Much more powerful than 3DS. Most Wii U games can be easily ported ( I do realize that graphics will not be the same...I'm ok with that as long as gameplay is great). Have TV out. Can play on TV or take with you.
Virtual Console - Everything NES, SNES, N64, GBA game available day one. Add Gamecube, Dreamcast, etc over time. You can buy on Wii U or new 3rd pillar device and can download on either and play.
I do realize this is a crazy list. Would love it if at least one or two of these happened

It wasn't even the best 2013 lineup, let alone the best ever.

i agree with you that the wii u's 2013 lineup was pretty good, but i don't think it beats out fire emblem and a link between worlds.

Honestly, people, that would be like a motion-control-less Wii. It's not going to happen.

I think Nintendo is on autopilot honestly. So I expect this E3 to cover the games we already know are coming and nothing more. Smash Wii U is apparently a late fall or early winter title, which makes it the main showcase along with Bayo 2 and maybe X.

Nintendo won't reveal much because they still think their competitors are out to steal their ideas when no one really gives a sh**. Someone tell this company to wake the f up already.
Out of curiosity, what had a better lineup last year? Could you list the games?
I imagine Dave's referring to the PS3, in a year when Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us, GTAV and Beyond Two Souls came out.
Hmmm I guess I didn't know multiplats counted. Still, even with them I think the 3ds had a better year
Hoping for 3DS stuff. Expecting jack shit. New 2D Metriod on the 3DS is all I need, Nintendo.
If we're counting multiplats, then PC wins every year.
I can't think of a better console line-up.

Pffffffff
1) A Next-Gen Wiimote + Nun-chunk
Replaces the need of the pro controller completely, has all the bottoms necessary for any control scheme + improved motion sensing (nun-chunk is equal to main wiimote). Replaces pro controller in new Wiiu bundles.
2) 3DS revision
3) Nintendo announces a new IP or two
4) Teaser for next Metroid Prime game
5) Zelda games

Why wouldn't they count? For the record I think the 3DS had the better year but I'm not sure whether that's because I got mine in 2013 and I had a lot of games I could catch up on.
I don't really think Beyond Two Souls is fit to be mentioned in the same sentence as the others (I'm a Two Best Friends Play fan, so maybe that's why) but it was marketed as an important exclusive to the PS3 and I'm sure there's lots of people who did like it.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

I don't know what they are going to do, but untying purchases from hardware and allowing cross play would get me to buy a Wii U. They'll probably just announce another couple mediocre new super mario bros titles.
Being able to play Smash Bros at Best Buy makes me happy. I'm glad I took time off. Will definitely be one of the first people in line to play me some Smash Bros!
I'm a little disappointed by no live event and that it's another E3 but yeah... it's always about the games. If they bring some good games, especially to completely break GAF, along with every other company, that's all that matters.
I just don't want to see the same games with new trailers and no release dates. If they DO show the same games from last year, they better have release dates to follow.
