From Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5027984/iwata-so-very-very-sorry-for-nintendos-e3-presser):
"If there is any perception that Nintendo is ignoring the core gamers, it's a misunderstanding and we really want to get rid of that misunderstanding by any means. We are sorry about [the E3] media briefings, specifically for those who were expecting to see Nintendo show something about 'Super Mario' or 'Legend of Zelda.'"-Satoru Iwata
Well, that helps fill the void but Nintendo's E3 Keynote was still the worst
