E3 Live Coverage

EDIT: Thanks to everybody that joined us live for the video stream leading up to the Nintendo Press Conference, during the Press Conference, and after the Press Conference.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks will be playable at E3 so look for new screen shots, gameplay videos, artwork, and much more over the next few days.

10:14am – Great Show. No Zelda Wii news, but still had a lot of offer. Much better than last year.

10:08am – Dead Space is shown for the Nintendo Wii. Looks good. Playable this week.

10:02am – More Mario? Another 3d Mario title? Another Mario title for the Nintendo Wii. Super Mario Bros Galaxy 2? This looks awesome.
