New cel-shaded Zelda game "Spirit Tracks" for the DS. Features trains. Yes, trains. OK...
Wii System Menu 4.0, includes SD Card menu for running stuff off of the card by temporarily copying it over to the Wii flash memory. Available now. Video here.
Rock and Roll Climber revealed (new Wii game)
Final Fantasy: a sequel to My Life as a King, a port of the cellphone game Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, and Virtual Console versions of old FF games.
Virtual Console Arcade: No, not as robust as Xbox Live Arcade, it's simply arcade titles available on the VC. Gaplus, Mappy, The Tower Of Druaga, and Starforce all available now.

I gotta go do RL stuff now, but this is serious business, guys. Zelda on a train? Heck, I'd buy it just because it's so weird.

What the hell, Nintendo? GDC is not a place for announcements like these. <_<

Placeholder signature. Will probably replace this tomorrow.

I don't think that's too weird a theme. Two different Zeldas have had an island/boat theme, and given that we've also had games revolving around time travel and possessed masks, I'd say trains are rather mundane if anything. Also, the mine-cart type puzzles and sections in the GB Zelda games have always been fun.

Sometimes the best improvements go unnoticed. The option "Move" has finally been added to the Wii's memory management.

All aboard the loltrain!

Seriously, I didn't realize...wow, it's about trains? D= I know my friend said there was a new Zelda game coming and all, but...trains? Gee whiz...

Wii 4.0 I'm really curious about. I wonder if it's going to be awesome. :3

By the way, your drawing is epic Tapdancingmetroid. <3

It's available right now and it's not all that different. Just frees up a bit more room, that's all.

Just to be clear - it's a system update, not a whole new hardware.
