The enduring image of the show might end up being the enormous line, which snakes completely around Nintendo's floor space. A security guard estimated that 1,500 to 2,000 people have been in the line at any given time.
Matt Rogers and Steve Bollinger said they waited almost three hours to get their hands on Wii, even though they lined up as soon as the convention center doors opened. After exiting the booth, they said the wait was definitely worth it.
"Nintendo really nailed it," said Rogers.
"They really worked hard to put fun games in this booth," said Bollinger. "Now I know the next thing I'm getting."
Yum!
