Critics crowned the Wii “Best of Show” after game enthusiasts at the recent Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) waited hours to get their hands on the Nintendo Co. Ltd. machine due later this year. They raved about how its new controller allowed them to play sports games like tennis and football much in the same way they are played in real life.
“It’s a great story and it’s something different,” said Geoff Keighley, co-chairman of the Game Critics Awards, an independent group of journalists from 37 North American media outlets that cover the video game industry.

Wii also won for “Best Hardware” and Nintendo’s “Wii Sports” title took home the prize for “Best Sports Game.”
