Nintendo's Killing the E3 with their WiiPage 117 May 2007E3 in Los AngelesBy: Filip Truta Games EditorNintendo's Killing the E3 with their WiiThird party developers aren't allowed to show off Wii titles in their own boothsThis year's E3 was supposed to be well under way by now hosting hundreds if notthousands of gamers at Los Angeles.
