The Shrine

Nintendo's starts at 9:30 PDT, Microsoft's at 12 PDT.

Watched the Nintendo conference on Gamespot's streaming feed. Was basically what I expected - graphics didn't look that great except for Twilight Princess (which makes sense since they probably finished working on those ages ago), and the gameplay looks reasonably fun. I am quite disappointed that we didn't get a price or a date.

The accuracy of the controller didn't look to be all that impressive as the guys doing the demos pretty much sucked, but before I try the thing myself I'm willing to chalk that up to nervousness/unfamilarity with the game/trying to demo the games while pointing the remote at a screen sitting on the ground. The live demo of WiiSports tennis looked amusing, although I'd prefer a more simmy tennis game.

One thing I picked up on that I don't think a lot of the news sites have realized yet is that one of the DS games they showed, which they called "Elite something Agents" or whatever, appears to be an English version of "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan", the male cheerleader rhythm game, which looked fun.

I was hoping for a launch date and price as well.

If the price is right, I'm going to try to get a Wii on day 1.

I wonder why they always play gameplay footage at E3 press conferences to annoying generic techno beats?
