I feel that Nintendo might have been contemplating a big display at E3 and this announcement was the nail in the coffin. As the Wii U slowly but surely chugs its way into a better release schedule, and having just announced the new Zelda and Yoshi's Island titles(announced through aforementioned Nintendo Direct), I can't imagine the big N would have much petrol in the tank. Therefore, with Sony and Microsoft cracked and smacked up on their new consoles, Nintendo would surely be left in the dust.  Therefore, my assumption is that this decision doesn't flag the end of big conferences for Nintendo at E3, but just that they're sitting this one out, as they have no material.  What are your thoughts, my delicious, delectable, very sexually attractive followers?
