May 10, 2006 - To any of you out there wishing you were at E3 2006 right now, waiting to get your first chance at playing the Nintendo Wii, we here at IGN sincerely thank you for staying at home. As it is, the Nintendo booth resembles the LA freeways, as thousands of industry members are waiting hours on end for just a few moments of play time on the Big N's latest innovative accomplishment. We are deeming it an accomplishment for a simple reason; the place is jam packed. We had a chance to get into the booth earlier today, though now the general admission line includes a sweet little sign at the beginning reading "Welcome to Nintendo. Current Wait is 190 mins." It's important to note that this sign isn't the end of the line; it's merely the end of the signs.
Luckily, we had a chance to cash in our super duper "We know Matt Casamassina" pass, and were promptly let in at the beginning of the show. Once the main doors were opened, however, the flood began. For this reason, we figured it was a great chance to show a few showroom pics to everyone. In fact, if you've got mobile internet and are waiting in line right now, at least you can see what you'll be playing in a few hours. Yikes.
