That's it

The Nintendo DS Browser, powered by Opera, is finally out in the US! Now I won't have kids of America calling me at all hours demanding to know when they can get their hands on it! It is here!

I attended E3 a couple of weeks ago where I was properly brainwashed on Nintendo's mission with its new gaming console, Wii. It worked. I'm a believer and I can't wait to get one! I really loved everything about it: the design, the motion sensory, of course the supported Opera Web browser, and even the name. It all makes perfect sense when you finally meet. Wii will welcome everyone to gaming with all new, intuitive controls.

The first order of business was the media briefing on the morning of May 9th, the day before E3 officially opened. It was held in LA's Kodak Theatre, which did the job as an enticing venue. In true Oscar fashion, the media and invited members of the industry sat below near the stage, while developers and Nintendo lovers (who managed to get tickets) sat in the bleachers letting the whole audience know when they liked what they saw, which was pretty often.



The next day, the opening of E3, would be the first day anyone could get their hands on Wii. If you build it, they will come, and come they did. There was no line like it, of what I saw at E3. This is what I was able to capture of it with my phone, although you miss the effect of it wrapping around Nintendo's circular booth.



Even members of the press were patiently waiting their turn in a crowded area.



Opera for NDS was also there to enjoy. Dual screen mode was the popular choice of browsing mode at this demo station. Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of my actual browsing session.
