The biggest game show in the world is almost here. Catch up with the best of what we know

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Sue us, we're Zelda fans. New Super Mario Bros. plays like an old-school dream, but Phantom Hourglass looks like it's really going to work the DS in some interesting ways. So far all that's been released is one trailer - in it you can plainly see the player using the touch screen to guide Link's boomerang around a room. The same goes for charting a path through ocean waters, just lay down the course with the stylus and off you go.

So, the question is, how far does the touch screen support go? What other kinds of weapons will you find after clawing through more puzzle-ridden labyrinths? Will there be Wi-Fi multiplayer modes for everyone to get in on, possibly like 2004's Four Swords Adventures?
