Technically no, but June is still also technically "E3" month, all the publishers are still going to do their conferences and videos around then. Jeff Keighley has his Summer Games Fest then, too.

E3 itself is just a name.

That hasn't been the case for Nintendo in a few years now. They don't feel obligated to do so since there isn't an actual event nowadays.

I know the movie made a lot of money but I don't think a Mario game would be very successful, the age of movie tie ins is over and gamers wouldn't respond well to the childish aesthetic of the film

I can confirm that this is not going to be a movie tie-in. Nintendo is not interested in this movie tie-ins at this time.

My personal opinion, though, I think Nintendo should take the look of the Mushroom Kingdom, at least Toad Town and Peach's castle, in the direction of the Mario movie. The environment in the movie looked a lot more like I imagine people would have thought based on SMB1-World, than what 64 decided to settle with (probably hardware limitations). It's a darn shame hardware limitations of the N64 has made it where N64 kiddos nostalgia will always dictate what the kingdom looks like.
