Nintendo wants you to know that they are amazingly, incredibly, mind-numbingly happy. At least, that’s what their opening video seemed to be saying at the Nintendo Press Conference at this year’s E3. After several minutes of watching people smiling like loons while playing games, we got the point — get a Wii and you’ll attain instant happiness. Move over, Buddha, enlightenment is overrated.

Anyway, that’s beyond the point. The first big premiere title demonstrated this year was Shaun White Snowboarding, in which Nintendo unveiled Shaun White himself using the Wii balance board to snowboard his way down an immaculate white slope. The game looks like a lot of fun and will definitely engage gamers who were concerned that the only thing they could do with their Wii balance board was film women’s asses swinging about as they hula hooped (not that that ever gets old, mind you).

Updated with new video and photos from the event!
