I've started to follow e3's three or four years ago but there are some things that I'm not sure of about it. These questions apply to Nintendo:

1. Do we already know the existence of all the games that will be shown at e3? For example, is it possible that a game late in developement (almost done) doesnt get leaked or announced before e3? Could we wish to see an F-Zero trailer this e3? (I know its unlikely, but is it impossible?)

2. Is there any chance that they reveal specs, power, processor etc?

1. Yes, it sometimes won't get leaked.
2. Minor ones if it's Nintendo. They will quickly say "1080p 60 FPS" and maybe what engine it runs. That's about it, you'll have to find the GPU, CPU, etc. somewhere else.

1. YES
2. Argh

For the specs you will need to got to a tech/gadget site that opens the console before or after launch.

I can guarantee that Nintendo isn't going to reveal any specs for the Wii U. It's not their style to do that.
They would focus mostly on games.

1. The only games we know for a fact/logic for now is Pikmin 3, and all the 3rd party games already announces so far on Wii U.

2. I hope, I don't know about anyone else but it would be awesome if they pulled a Sony E3 2005 and went full on with the specs, but it is Nintendo and the last time they announced full specs at E3 was Gamecube's full unviel at E3 2001, but a person can hope.

1. Yes well some at least, I think leaking is possible because it's happened before many times.
2. I really hope so, it would be very useful for us to know everything about what the Wii U has to offer.

Ever since Iwata said on stage that "specs don't matter", I doubt they will ever show specs for future products.

[Nin_Stream]

1st: Of course we DON'T know ever single game that will be mentioned. I bet we only know about 75%. Miyamoto's new game might be revealed or hinted at. They will probably say (NOT SHOW) but say something about Smash Bros. Nintendo always has surprises up their sleeve.

2nd...Ehhhh We wont learn much powerwise. Nintendo will once again say True 1080p and 60fps. They might say YES IT IS BETTER THEN THE CURRENT GENS to shut up the baboons lol.

P.S. On a side note wouldnt it be funny if the Wii U's start up screen was it saying something like Suck it Xbox and Playstation.

Haha no, it's not a joke.

1. Leaks have happened (most recently a 3ds stolen off the factory line 2ish months early) but even then full specs would be possible only a few weeks before launch

2.maybe, I feel they would be doing comparisons,maybe some broad specs to narrow down things, and well, you could guess some power off Wiiu games being showcased

if they confirm or deny unreal 4, that may be a big show if the system is powerful or moderate

[dagwood dang]

1. We probably don't know too much about the games being shown @ E3, excetpt for the ones they've hinted at (Darkstalkers 2, Pikmin 3, etc.).
Anything could be shown, really. A new F-Zero is still a possibility.

2. Nintendo probably won't talk too much about specs, since that's not their style.

I hope that once these Wii U games start popping up, we won't harp as much on these specs.
I've been guilty of obsessing over the rumors myself, but I'm trying to get back to how I was before the Ninty graphics hype.

We already know the games will look good (although, I would like to see more HD action. I'm not gonna lie),
but more importantly, we know that many Devs are supporting, and claim it's fairly easy to develop for. That's big.
