On a plus side it was Newsround that covered the event and the only aspect of the event they covered was the "childrens" game segment. Eye Toy was played along with Shrek 2 and Donkey Konga and it was Donkey Konga that won the prize. The event was hosted by Jonathan Ross.

Nice press for the Big N there then.

You watched Newsround today too then? :D I was quite suprised the Beeb were giving Nintendo so much attention, despite none of it helping their "kiddie" image it was free advertising.
