@Sony_70 While yes, the Wii U needs some serious support, the 3DS has games announced but almost no info. The Wii U needs announcements while the 3DS needs info. Not sure what the big deal is, they aren't competing for conference time, so what's the big deal over giving the 3DS some attention?
My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.
Undoubtedly fake. Easy to photoshop, all very predictable so it looks more realistic, problems with the logistics of it, with the account, et cetera. What would disturb me if this was real is the lack of any surprises. I mean, we'll finally find out what Retro's game is, but that's about it. I am hoping for at least a few "OH MY GOD, NO WAY!" moments throughout the E3 Direct... You know, the moments after they announce something huge that was completely unexpected! I want to feel something comparable to the euphoria I felt when I saw the Pokemon X and Y trailer, that rush that you get when something utterly unexpected but incredibly exciting and undeniably awesome happens.
I'm with one or two others here, in that what I'd really like to believe in is a surprise. Slotted into the Mario Show that is Nintendo PR these days, there is something, somehow, that makes me go 'wow, that looks awesome, and I didn't see it coming at all'.
They used to do that, Nintendo.
Even for this presentation, the headliners are all either Mario games or games that have Mario in them.
The giveaway, other than being just youtube text, is the pacing. Even their most successful E3 in terms looked more like this:
E3 2006
0:20 - Miyamoto on stage conducting
2:55 - Wii trailer
9:30 - Reggie rant about Nintendo's philosophy/reasons behind the Wii
15:30 - Wii Games trailer
18:00 - Twilight Princess
26:30 - Metroid Prime 3 & Super Mario Galaxy
27:45 - Excite Truck, Project Hammer (remember that?), Disaster Day of Crisis
29:00 - Third Party
31:20 - Red Steel
38:17 - DS
43:47 - Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
44:14 - DS games trailer
46:23 - Iwata with a more detailed rant on Wii/DS
56:45 - Wii Sports stage demo
1:03:10 - Closing thoughts with Reggie
In the past when they've announced a lot of new games they've gone into list mode and then thrown a games trailer at us. They do this every time. They also spend a fair amount of their time explaining things and doing recaps. Even in the directs. They have never done a show that was just a trailer compilation. There's also the fact that new Mario and Mario Karts are confirmed to be playable, why would they then spend ten minutes demoing Pikmin 3? And only two on Mario (Kart)?
Oh and for some reason the list in the OP has everything mixed up. They (or everyone) usually have related content together. Smash Bros if in there will either be the closer or bundled with Mario Kart. It wouldn't be floating in the middle "unsupported". Notice how at their 2006 show they started with Wii, went into games generally, then into first party stuff, third party stuff, Red Steel... then DS and DS games... and closed with the takeaway message of "Wii Sports is revolutionary". The list in the OP is all over the place.
It was obviously fake from the start and that fact gives us all the more reason to speculate. At the very least we can be reasonably sure of the format. They'll start with some kind of cheezy intro which will go into an intro rant about what they're going talk about. Then they'll tease a bit with some announcements of the very obvious followed by a shiny game compilation trailer. Then they'll get to the minor megatonnes, logos and trailers. They'll tell us that Team Ninja is doing Metroid, Sonic is in Smash Bros Brawl or they'll have Link appear unexpectedly behind a train. Then they'll wind everything down telling us again what we just saw.....
and then the thing that everyone will talk about. The last item everyone thought they forgot. They'll darken the screen, turn down the lights, and BAM! nobody cares about what happened for the 40-50mins before: http://youtu.be/59gY8iJ4DWw?t=43m10s

"Don't stir the pot" is a nice way of saying "they're too dumb to reason with"

Ah man, the relentless cheering after the Twilight Princess trailer... With no full on press conference this year, I'll miss the cheering... Somehow makes it more exciting.
