Wii sweeps retirement communities

by Elizabeth on June 28th, 2007

wii.jpgIt may just be my own mad, mad desire for a Wii talking, but, I love to see these stories about senior video gamers.

I never really thought about it before, but, I thought this part was sort of cool:

For seniors who can’t play sports any more, the Wii approximates the motion of the games they once enjoyed. It requires players to swing a motion-detecting controller like a golf club, bowling ball, tennis racquet, or other piece of athletic equipment.

Like many things, I know it’s not for everyone, but, I love seeing people trying something new, and, discovering they really like it.

    […] I will own a Wii someday when I grow up. After all, I need to practice up for when I have to play Wii in the retirement home. Tags: Hula Hoop turns 50, Nintendo Wii FitShare This Related StoriesRemembering DadHappy Birthday […]
