E3 Booth Round Up: Nintendo

I spent the majority of Wednesday at E3 checking out the Nintendo booth.  They had all of their upcoming games and also plenty of third party games on display for both the Wii and the DS.  There weren’t very many surprises as far as the games that were coming out, but there were a couple of games that were surprisingly fun to play.
