We'll have fuller coverage of Nintendo's press conference including HD video, but for now here are the titles for Wii that were showcased during the presentation. Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime promised 27 playable games on the E3 show floor starting tomorrow, as well as more on display in video form. A total of 18 were presented either in video or gameplay form at the conference.

Several first party games were announced or officially unveiled:

A selection of third party games was also highlighted:

- Call of Duty 3 (Activision
- Sonic (working title) (Sega)

The company also unveiled its optional retro controller, which looks very much like an SNES gamepad with four face buttons, two shoulder buttons, and a d-pad. However, it also has two analog sticks, both of which look like the left GameCube analog stick. They are positioned in a similar fashioned to the analog sticks on Sony's DualShock controller.
