I want to vote for Skyward Sword, but I am going to nominate Donky Kong Country Returns for the wii game of E3 2010. I was slight dissapointed at what I saw with the Zelda game and I like retro(no pun intended) revivals like this new Donkey Kong game.

Hey you got a link to the talkback page on each page of the article.Thanks for that!
Wii game of E3 I will have to agree with Kirbys Epic Yarn.
DS game I would say Golden Sun:Dark Dawn.

You clearly didn't play Okamiden. I hope the game will turn out well, but the demo was terrible.
How terrible was the demo? I mean I liked the first Okami game and I wanted an Okami game for the DS for several years now. I finally got my wish, but if you say it is terrible them I am a little worried because I am looking forward to owning this game.

Although it will inevitably take a while, I wish that Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective would make it to the West in a timely fashion. Sadly, the Phoenix Wright-esque quantities of text that need to be translated kills any chance of this happening any time soon.
On an unrelated note, I'd not seen that dune buggy racing screenshot from Kirby's Epic Yarn before. Cool! DKC Returns is more exciting to me personally, purely because both the Donkey Kong series and its new developer have a strong track record, but your choice of Kirby is definitely well justified. This is a franchise reinvention that everyone can get on board with.

Kirby games are soft, simple and friendly, just like a happy pink sphere.

Okami-den wasn't terrible. I actually enjoyed it, but as a demo it WAS terrible. The presentation is great, but the game mechanic the demo highlighted, controlling your partner by drawing paths, was definitely a poor and un-fun choice. I can only assume the demo was from the start of the game, which means the game will at least start off on a sour note. You can read my mixed impressions (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/impressionsArt.cfm?artid=23375) if you'd like.

I thought Mario Sports (just the hoops, actually) was best :cool;

I know you're probably joking, but Mario Sports Mix is my most anticipated title shown at E3.

I don't see why they haven't made Mario Football yet. I mean, we've already seen Mario basketball, and we've already seen many Mario Sports STYLE beach volleyball games.
And yes, I mean American football. I'm aware that to the rest of the world, they've been enjoying THEIR Mario Football title for years. :)

Retro Studios was trying to make one before they were put on Metroid. I was wondering whether they were working on that, but it was DKCR instead.

I knew they were working on a football game, but I didn't realize it was Mario themed. Quite interesting.

I don't think it was Mario Football; I remember seeing screenshots of it with NFL teams.

They were looking at both options, actually: http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=267&page=6 (http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=267&page=6)
Also, Mario was in the football Wii controller patent.

Isn't Kirby usually a mind-numbingly easy game? And it's still your best Wii game of E3? Does that mean it was the most fun?

Kirby is immortal in Epic Yarn, but that doesn't necessarily mean the game will be easy. It feels much like Wario Land 2 and 3, not surprising since Kirby's developer (Good Feel) also made Wario Land: Shake It.

DKCR gets my vote.
Personal Kind of expected it but was still shocked and surprised award goes to Skyward Sword.

That is actually quite interesting, I never knew that. I'm kind of still hoping there will be a surprise Mario game announcement before 2010 is over... maybe a Mario football game could be released in the middle of the football season? It could be fun, as long as it doesn't try to be "extreme" like Mario Strikers Charged.

I really don't get what you've got against Mario Strikers. It's a great game, and still one of the best multiplayer titles on the Wii.

I could talk about it here, but it'd be going off topic. I could PM you, if you're curious enough to find out.

Actually I'm serious. NBA Jam with Mario Kart items!! And super moves!!
DKC might have been my pick if not for the completely unnecessary wagglin

I really liked seeing Kirby being picked as Wii game of show. Even though it probably won't be a difficult or epic title, the way they took a unique art style and just ran with it brings out a sense of child-like amazement every time I watch the trailer. Simple things like rearranging level structure through zippers or pulling buttons make my jaw drop. Also, the fact that it's being handled by the team that created Wario Land: Shake It! gives me a lot of confidence because that game was beautiful and had wonderful level design (even if beating the game was easy to do without getting all the secrets, hidden treasures, and achievements).
Zelda looked great, just like Epic Mickey and several other titles... but none brought the same smile to my face like Kirby did.

Epic Mickey's demo was a bit garbage. A large bit, actually. Checkpoints had not been implemented because it was a "mostly hands-off demo." Mind you, that phrase makes no sense on its own, but bare in mind that Disney Interactive had an entire pavilion setup for JUST Epic Mickey demo stations.

I think most of the honors that Epic Yarn got were based on the assumption that the game will get harderin the later levels. Also don't forget that E3 demos are often massively dialed down in difficulty since you don't have time to retry hard parts on the showfloor and I've seen demo footage of games where the player ran around absorbing a ton of damage while in the final game poking out of cover for more than 2 seconds was enough to kill you.

I would like to add to my earlier comment. The reason I was shocked was that GameSpot picked it, I expected them to go with a typical choice like Halo: Reach. I was happy they picked Kirby.
