E3 2006: Everything You Missed And More

by Rob Galbreath (2006-05-20)

After months of planning and thousands of dollars spent, The Wiire staff brings you the conclusion to Nintendo's Pre-E3 Media Briefing and E3 2006. After four gruesome days of lacking sleep, jet lag, lines longer than what Disneyland could pull off, hours of daily driving, seizure-inducing lights, interviews and other stories we will share in future podcasts, Nintendo and third-party developers unveiled 27 demonstrations of what Wii gaming will be like.

Without further adieu, here's what you missed:
