E3 2006 Nintendo Conference Wii Video

This is the video that Nintendo used to help introduce us to the Wii.  You kind of don't know what to think at first, but as it gets going you find yourself saying, "I need to at least try it out!"  We have provided a second-by-second account of the video(We know, there might be better things to do with our time).  You knwo they say a picture\video is worth a 1000 words, well at least 633.  Enjoy!
