I was watching the Nintendo conference live, try and find the video, it's the most exciting thing in computer games for ages.
Footage of Super Mario Galaxies, the Wii Zelda game, just some AMAZING games.
They showed off the speaker feature (IN THE CONTROLLER) on Zelda and you'll hear the twang of the bow and arrow and the sound will travel to your tv and you'll hear the contact there!
They also had a demo of the tennis game and had a doubles match, looked so much fun and easy to pick up and play!
Metroid and Red Steel (new FPS) looked stunning with the controller..... Point and shoot! Red Steel in particular looked amazing.
And they showed this disaster game and there was a big volcano and i didn't take in any other information because it was so beautifully made and the graphics were just incredible.
The Wii is intended to be connected to the net 24/7 (while only using up the same power as a small lightbulb) and that means you can get messages from Animal Crossing and stuff (they said a bit about this)
And the DS roster, well wow! Some awesome, awesome stuff. DIDDY KONG RACING!!!!!
It'd be cool if they did a Paper Mario for the DS, i think it'd work well.
Also, the price is rumoured to be mega cheap compared to the others, we're talking $250 here. That's like £140 these days, but we always get ripped off so it'll be closer to £200 i reckon, but not over it.. that's awesome for a new console.

The PS3 looks fucking shite apart from MGS4.

http://www.gamespot.com seems to be the best free way to check out all the videos and coverage, you get all the live streams of conferences etc.

Nintendo are kings. Kings.
