E3 2006 hi-lights
This was definitely Nintendo's year at E3. They wiped the floor with everyone, having the most compelling games and most innovative hardware.
I've already done a very brief summary of the 3 big conferences over at the 9rules blog but I thought that I would pick out my personal favourites from the show.
WiiThe obvious attraction (based on my past posts) was the new Zelda.
Wow!
I think it looks great and am considering buying the Wii on launch day ...

Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.
