The Nintendo E3 Press Conference

I will admit that I missed about the first 20 minutes of it.

Mr Saturo Iwata the Head of Nintendo came out after they showed off Shaun White's snowboarding game that comes out this holiday Season (November I believe) using the Wii Balanece board. Mr Iwata spoke about how far Nintendo has come, and how popular the Wii is as a casual gaming console.

Next the creator of Animal Crossing is shown on the big screen. Discussing how far Animal Crossing has come since the Gamecube. He talked about how Animal Crossing for the Wii will allow you to go online and talk to others.

Reggie Fils-Amie comes on to the stage and talks about how pleased Nintendo is with it's Wii Console sales. He went on to talk about boring sales figures, and how well the Nintendo DS has been selling in America alone. The Ds has sold so well because of major party games, like Pokemon, and Mario games.

Edit - 4:10pm Tuesday July 15th.

I forgot to mention that Nintendo is also releasing a new thing called "Wii Speak" to allow people to actually chat together.
