Up Close With the Wii Fit
The Brians over at Kotaku got their horribly blistered feet all over the Wii Fit Balance Board and came out with the impression that yes, this is for exercise. After playing it, their legs definitely felt the burn, which reinforces the fact that it's a "challenging" game made for exercise—instead of being an intuitive game like Wii Tennis where you're supposed to "get it" right away. Hit up Kotaku to see other videos of them doing Wii Fit ski jump as well. [Kotaku]Hands-on With the Darth Vader Star Wars PSP
Crecente got some hands on time with the Darth Vader PSP, and he says it's definitely lighter, possibly firmer, and has a new UMD tray. The buttons and D-Pad were also tweaked and improved, which is one of the bigger complaints in the old design.

Hands-on Wii Zapper Assembly Video
Ashcraft and Crecente from Kotaku got a hands-on demonstration with the Wii Zapper. The video shows how you put the thing together—a combination of the Nunchuck and the Wiimote—but it also shows Ashcraft demonstrationg his acting chops. The Zapper is actually kind of uncomfortable, seeing as the two grips that you put your hands on are a bit close. It's like holding a Tommy gun, except possibly even more awkward. What's also weird is that the trigger was in the front, and not the back as you'd expect. [Kotaku]LiveStreaming Games From E3

In addition to having the fantastic Wii Party Station, Nyko also had a bunch of other accessories for all three consoles. First, a wireless Xbox 360 Guitar Hero guitar, which is still in the prototype stage and may not even make it to market. Their guitar may hit a whole three months sooner than the official Guitar Hero III wireless guitar, but there are a couple caveats. One, you need a wired controller to hook the whole thing up.

We just got a hands on with Nyko's Wii Party Station and we can safely say that it's crazy. Crazy awesome.
