It's good to be back. After spending the majority of yesterday knee deep in Nintendo-related presentations, eyeballs glued to Nintendo DS Lite screens and monitors running unreleased Wii games, I've got plenty of catching up to do.

While I can't write about any of the first-party content that was shown during the first day of the Nintendo Media Summit, the third-party stuff is free game. Not that there was an overabundance of it, mind you, but impressions and new screens of the few titles on hand will still be flowing throughout the next two days.

For the rest of the goods, make sure you set your Kotaku checking alarm clocks for 8 AM PST this Friday. I'll have plenty to show you starting then. However, those two high profile Nintendo titles mentioned in my previous post? You're gonna have to wait for E3 or make do with some (now) old Metroid Prime 3: Corruption screens. Michael McWhertor
