Avoid missing Wii for high score.

Soon, there will be an important videogame anniversary to celebrate.

It's not the GameCube's five-year anniversary. Well, it is the GameCube's five-year anniversary (it launched on November 18, 2001), but that's not what I'm going to reminisce about. Nor will I be discussing the Super Famicom's sweet sixteenth (released in Japan on November 21, 1990), so put that copy of Kirby Super Star away.

After finally getting some hands-on time with the Wii, am I a true believer?

Only being 17, I wasn’t able to attend E3 earlier this year and get my hands on the Wii. Furthermore, I wasn’t invited to the Miami Wii Party, and when the Nintendo Fusion Tour passed through Florida, I didn’t make the trip. Being one of the only staffers not to have grasped a remote in my hands, I was sufficiently dissatisfied.
