The E3 Report: Wii Won't Let That Defeat Us, and The Best Thing at E3

"Okay, the name ... we want to thank everyone that had good things to say about it ... both of you."

Thanks, Reggie.

The Wii had some pretty awesome things this E3, including playable demos that I didn't get to play because I didn't actually get to go to E3.

It has tennis. TENNIS. Not Mario Tennis, though, for which I am deeply saddened.

It has a port of Twilight Princess.

It has Super Smash Brothers Brawl, which has THE GUY FROM METAL GEAR SOLID. YEAH THAT GUY.

It has a speaker on the remote.

It has a virtual console.

It has a way better implementation of motion detection than the PS3 does. Sony, if you're listening, this is unacceptable. Combined with my previous complaints about Sony at E3, this is worthy of some drastic action. Sony, I'm putting you ON NOTICE. You and your "Dual Shake" controller.

THE ON NOTICE BOARD

I can't really complain about the Wii right now, though, and I've even gotten used to the name by now. Wii. Wiiiiiiiii.

The best thing about E3, besides the Wii, is this:

STAR FOX DS.

Yeah man. Star Fox DS, man. Star Fox DS ONLINE, MAN.

So Nintendo pretty much wins E3. Sony can go fall in a ditch on the side of the road. And um, get really dirty.

Because the hole is full of dirt.
