Phew! We have just about closed the books on the first day of E3 2011 and was it ever a packed first day. We kicked things off with a live stream of the Nintendo press conference where the company gave an official name to its upcoming console. Then, we kicked things into gear when the show doors opened; our live stage demo began with a look at the Nintendo Wii U; and the GameSpot editors fanned out across the Los Angeles Convention Center to bring you the latest news on the biggest games at E3. If you want to keep track of all our E3 updates, you can always visit e3.gamespot.com, but for an overview of the day's top events, would you kindly consult the links below?
