--- E3 2006 Videos ---
Straight from the Message Boards, here are (most) of the videos
we took at E3 this year:
First off, you may have heard about the stampeding at the
entrance. We were smart enough to head straight for what we knew would be
a big line at the Nintendo booth (because of the huge Zelda line last year), so
we got in with a minimum of waiting. Of course, we then had to wait at
each individual demo, but you can't have everything...
But here are videos of Day 3, the huge crowd waiting to get in
(we're right at the front), and the subsequent stampede.

This
is the Obstacle Course Pointer demo. You just grab and drag a guy through a
maze. The control was very, very sensitive and accurate.

This is, of course, a "Light Gun" sort of function. Again, very
sensitive (almost too sensitive) and accurate.

Golf. Didn't work very well.

The Airplane demo worked fine, but didn't provide anything that a standard
controller wouldn't do better.

Here's Bruce playing Wario Ware--badly. Please note that Wario Ware's
high-contrast screen didn't come across on video very well. It's hard to tell
what's on screen, but rest assured it's very clear in reality. The important
thing is how it has you holding the controller and what it makes you do with it.

And here's Leon playing Wario Ware--very well.

Super Monkey Ball! No explanation needed, I imagine.

Here's a bug I hit in Super Monkey Ball on the Wii. I hit this boss in his belly
button--which you're supposed to do. And the game flung me upward about a mile!!
Crazy. It does show that the levels are much larger than they were on the
Gamecube, though.

Here's
a look at Necro Nesia, which sucked.

For starters, I have a couple of videos for our favorite game of the show,
Guitar Hero 2. All of the demo units were running in 2-player Co-op mode, which
is new for the game. Player 1 plays the lead guitar, and Player 2 plays either a
rhythm guitar or bass guitar. This means both players get to play 2 separate,
complimentary parts! The videos show a couple of songs with both players on
Expert, and highlights just how awesome the new 2-player mode is going to be!
This is Leon playing the Bass part. The other guy that was playing lead is
pretty good!
http://gwlvideos.com/Vids/E32006/GH2_FullSong.mpg
This is Bruce playing the Bass part with the same guy that was playing lead. I
got cut short, because another concert was about to start and they had to shut
the equipment off. 
http://gwlvideos.com/Vids/E32006/GH2_CutShort.mpg
This GH2 video was taken in a different area of the convention, and you can
barely hear anything, making it nearly impossible to play. Bruce is playing
Rhythm Guitar on the right, and some other guy is playing lead on Medium.

Here's a shot of the special PS3 demo area upstairs, that had a queue line
downstairs with a "1-hour wait" sign. A wait for what?!

This is a small pan around of the line we were in on Day 1 to get in Nintendo's
booth. There are 2 more corners to go around before we get to the entrance!

This shot's from around the next corner, showing the DS demo area Nintendo had
on the floor. One more right turn to the Wii entrance!

Here's some footage from Ubisoft's booth. It's a screen displaying a trailer for

message.
