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.
