Nintendo has also used E3 to show off a number of new screen shots, video, and details from their upcoming games for Wii, including Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Fitness, Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, and Mario Kart Wii. They also show off for Nintendo DS - Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Brain Age 2, and Vision Training.

They'll also be releasing a couple of new hardware accessories before the end of the year - the Wii Zapper which combines the Wii Remote and Wii nunchuck into a gun shaped housing, Wii Wheel (steering wheel), and finally the most interesting - the Wii Balance Board.

The Wii Balance Board (not the final name) comes packaged with the new game Wii Fitness, which offers a number of exercise, yoga, balance, and stretching games. By putting your feet on the board, it can detect the differences between your two feet, and translate this onto screen movements or actions. No doubt it'll be used in a dancing game quite soon.

They also have announced a new Wii Channel, Check Mii Out which allows users to compare custom Mii's, vote on the results, and compete against each other to create the most accurate likeness of well-known characters, or even themselves.
