There has been nothing new thus far besides an American release date and the zapper. And as much as I love The Legend of Zelda, most of the stuff they are displaying for Phantom Hourglass is already known.
Move on!

I don't think Reggie understand proper online play of what we want 
And party modes with Mii's on FIFA 08, oh brother.
The new Mii channel will be cool though, allthough thats not really a new announcement

Mario Kart Wii + Wheel Controller Q1 2008  All looks to include old tracks from previous Mario Kart games and online in all modes... even battle mode.

I can't believe that's all that they bothered to reveal... Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit look like great titles though.

That was hilarious, made funnier by the chat in IRC.
Not particularly interesting though... that steering wheel looked alright but the zapper looked a bit crap. Nice to see more of Prime 3 in action, specially with that corruption info.

My connection cut out for a minute at what turned out to be the first of only two damn game announcements. I love me some Mario Kart, is there video footage of just that part, since I missed a bit of it?
Other than that, meh.

Zapper looks like it will do the job with the trigger for the B button. WiiFit looks interesting and will probably sell by the boat load to all the ladies out there.
Whats more interesting is the fact that the balance board could introduce a whole new gaming experience such as a shooting game where you move left and right on the board like some of the arcade games.
No HDD announcement. Was really hoping they would show something along the lines of a HDD but i guess they showed enough accessories this show.

My summary:
The big 3 get (US) dates. Zapper looks useless. The steering wheel, while also pointless, will probabaly have a lot of casual appeal when packed with Mario Kart. Kart looks pretty damn good, but we didn't see much of it. At least the 'worldwide 2008' comment diffuses the 'Kart swapped for Smash in PAL' rumour.
Wii Fit will sell gazillions.
Reggie has been articulate in the past, but was stilted here. Iwata and Miyamoto were much more charismatic.
Overall, pretty meh. Many games we already know about were discussed. At least Kart and Wii Fit look good. They probabaly should have ended on Kart just to make it a 'gamer' ending.

Did anybody else notice Mario was in a bee suit in the Galaxy footage?
I still don't see what Nintendo was hoping to achieve with the little-to-no hardcore gamer footage: yes, you want to expand the market, but the audience you are going for aren't sitting at their computers watching video feeds of video game conferences. The audience that you have right now doesn't want to hear you skirt around the issue of a lack of online games / features by announcing a Mii beauty contest. 2 dates plus an announcement of a game we all knew was coming (cool, nonetheless) is not what E3 should be.
Seriously they could have transplanted most of this stuff to the Today show or something, and left E3 for the few, the proud, the geeky (...uh, not boy scouts).
Oh, Nintendo. Its like the GCN-GBA connection thing all over again.

Err, no.
Microsoft didn't exactly show off much new stuff (apart from the Halo 360), everything else was pretty much already shown before. Add to that the fact that Microsoft and Sony seem to be focusing more on pimping 3rd party titles than their own, you are left with very average shows.
Last year was big because we hadn't seen much of the Wii or PS3 yet and Halo 3 was revealed, you can't expect the same level of impact every year.

Bah, missed it by 2 hours because my stupid alarm didn't wake me up. I won't be able to watch it till Saturday arvo because of school, footy, work etc. I really want to see all the new footage, 'specially Mario Kart and Galaxy.
Maybe I can watch it in IT today.

You know I'm not a Nintendo fan but to be objective I listened and reviewed the material they displayed.
All this presentation did was just re-enforce the fact that I'm just not the demographic they are targetting.
The games they did demonstrate though looks like they will be a winner with their target audience. Nintendo are looking at putting their major franchises online which I think is a very positive move.

Another montage focusing on older gamers. OMG it's my grandmother. Just joking - she's dead. Ahhh... not so funny. I blame the caffine.
Classic.
