Some other titles revealed during Nintendo E3 2014 event were Yoshi's Wooly World, Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario Maker and Splatoon.

Nintendo did not hold a traditional press conference for the E3 2014, unlike its competitors Microsoft and Sony. Instead, the Wii U maker showcased a prerecorded show called the "E3 Digital Event." President of Nintendo America, Reggie Fils-Aime, shared the reasons for not doing the traditional press conference, which has to do with the "audience watching and with the very nature of Nintendo itself," as noted on Gamespot.

Comparing E3 2014 conference today from the E3 10 years ago, Fils-Aime shared, "The environment is completely changed. More and more people are looking to tune in to an event; more and more people are looking for the full entertainment value of an event."

Aside from that, the game company also factored in that most of their possible presenters speak Japanese. "Couple that with the fact that so [many] of our developers are Japanese, so having them explain the game directly is a little bit more challenging." He further said, "We can do it in this type of environment," referring to a pre-recoreded show, "but to do it from a big stage is a little challenging."

He also said, "So for us, we think the best way to bring our message to the fans, to the larger community, is to create an event, to create something that we believe has all of the little Nintendo magic and pixie dust, and communicate that directly."
