That's what I've gathered from all the posts. Should I be excited?

To answer the topic title, yes. To answer the post, I guess.

Yeah, its where Nintendo announces their new games/upcoming projects and what not. They actually show more off during their directs than they do at E3 XD.

Pretty much. I've only watched one myself and it was basically a short E3 press conference just without any huge reveals.

I wouldn't say it's a mini E3. E3 is about a lot more than just game announcements and glimpses of footage. Although E3 really isn't what it used to be anymore these days. Only Nintendo seems to be able to keep tight-lipped on what they have coming, but for all other companies practically every single title is revealed before the press conference (with a few of them leaking 1 or several days in advance at the latest).

I see Nintendo Direct as Nintendo's gift to consumers. E3 is all about creating hype through press. Nintendo Direct is Nintendo's way of letting their audience know what's coming to their Nintendo systems and to give them some insight on how the company works. In fact, that's why they are named Nintendo Direct.
