E3: Don’t Show What You Don’t Have, Nintendo!

Let's take a journey back to E3 2006. The show the games of the Nintendo Wii first appeared at. The excitement was running wild, fans finally got to see the futuristic controller of the console in action with an on stage demo of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Red Steel. People were in awe at how Nintendo could pull something like that off. Then when they rolled the E3 gameplay montage on screen, people were even more amazed. You saw some very interesting gameplay that focused primarily on what the more mature gamer would like to play. Gun slinging, plasma shooting, sword swinging action. Back in 2006, this was much before everyone knew the direction Nintendo was actually going with the Wii. This was well before gamers knew that each week close to 10 games a 3 year old could play would be released, and that you had to dig through the shelves to get the more mature games.
