It's strange. My personal enthusiasm for the Wii has somewhat waned recently. Most likely because I haven't actually touched one for almost six months and that neither Wario Ware Smooth Moves nor Metroid Prime 3 will make it for launch. But Forbes? They freaking LOVE the thing.

In this surprisingly gushing review of the new Nintendo console, you'll read such wild statements of adoration and praise, such as:

• The Wii is indeed revolutionary, and it's potentially the device that will make videogaming as widely enjoyed as board or card games
• It was the first time since the original Nintendo Entertainment System came out in 1985 that videogaming felt like a party experience
• I lost count of how many times I heard non-gamers say, "Wow, I want to get this"
• Nintendo has [...] hit upon the single thing that sets apart an entertainment device most: It's fun

See? A little lovey dovey for my tastes. Okay, honestly, I agree with them. I'm still pretty pumped and I'm excited to show it off to my non-gamer circle of friends. Maybe this drive to secure a PlayStation 3 at launch (despite having already beaten the one launch title I'm excited about) is getting to me. Michael McWhertor
