Nope, not at all.

While I think the concept of "winning" E3 is beyond stupid, of course a Nintendo fan will say Nintendo "won" because OBVIOUSLY they'll be the most interested in what they show just as a Sony fan will claim "Sony won", I think its really silly to over exaggerate what Nintendo actually gave us.

-Smash Bros showed off 2 new characters. Cool, although nothing exciting. Palutena we've known about for months and the Mii was sort of always going to happen.
-Yoshi's Wooly World. Yoshi's New Island was panned for being absolutely nothing new for the Yoshi series and this looks so similar to the point of Nintendo parodying themselves. Aesthetics and 2-Player is literally the only new things here.
-Mario Maker. Kind of cool, but not a huge reveal.
-Captain Toad. This is insane. The mini-games in SM3DW were painfully boring, I laughed at the people who were like "these are so good they deserve their own game" because they really didn't. But now they are.
- Zelda U. We've known about this since the Wii U launch and the Direct really didn't give us much to go on.
-Pokemon AR OS. Nothing new here.
-Hyrule Warriors. Midna, but otherwise nothing new. A pretty tall claim about "every Zelda character being in" was made but I'm betting Skull Kid, Deku Link, Zora and Goron will assuredly not be here.
-Splatoon. The only truly new game shown, but it really wasn't particularly exciting.
-Star Fox U. Possibly awesome but so little was shown it barely counts.

Hell the best part about the Nintendo E3 was a Mario Kart DLC leak that turned out to be fake. It was a very disappointing E3 and definitely not what Nintendo needed to save the Wii U's dwindling sales.
