Maybe she just meant that the DS Lite is good for toilet use.

Elebits footage, looks very interesting to me:

Elebits (Konami)

Project H.A.M.M.E.R

More generic looking game, still seems to work quite well...

Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Controls.

The trick to good control in the E3 demo of Corruption is to enable â€œExpert" sensitivity in the pause menu. This setting allows you to perform all the aiming and turning with small, precise wrist movements, instead of larger movements of your entire arm which are required at the default sensitivity. Because you arenâ€™t moving the remote nearly as much, it wonâ€™t drift outside of the sensor barâ€™s range, so you avoid the weird view-freeze bug and subsequent auto-calibration fix mentioned in my first set of impressions. Itâ€™s also just easier and more comfortable to play the game with smaller movements, and you can turn faster to keep up with quick flying enemies.

Excite truck looks like it'll be brilliant fun! The control setup seems to work perfectly. Shame about the shit metal soundtrack, though. Hopefully the music won't all be that arse.

And more MG footage, this time showing the Spider Boss. Clip quality is nothing special, but everything else is.

I like it how the level design really takes advantage of the 3D space like few 3D platformers do, it reminds me of some of those crazy psychonauts levels with extra nintendo polish.

According to the press release Mario Galaxy is just a working title, I hope they don't muck about with the name like they did with the revolution.

I really like the name "Super Mario Galaxy" ... seems like the logical follow up to "Super Mario World"

Absolutely.
Changeing the name would be a crime.

If success was judged by the size of the queues at this week's E3 games expo, then Nintendo would win hands down.

Fans waited in line for hours to have a go at the new Wii console and its unorthodox motion-sensing controller.

Nintendo's Wii (pronounced "we") stole the show in Los Angeles, which is one of the key events of the games industry.

It managed to overshadow Sony's much vaunted PlayStation 3 (PS3), even though this was the first time buffs were able to play games on the new system.

As E3 entered is final hours on Friday afternoon, the queues to play the PS3 had vanished
