Round up some old people and make them play Wii

Best blog title ever.

:: packs up Wii and goes to the local old folks home ::

On a serious note, I wonder if I should make my grandma play?...I've found increasing when we have people most of them somehow end up crammed inside my room playing Wii Tennis or Bowling. Those who don't like to play still love to watch people make the weird movements.

The Wario Ware Hot Potatoe games are pretty cool except I have to explain to everyone how to play the mini-game before it shows up on screen. So the learning curve is a little nasty.

But really Wii is the new casual gaming/party system. Hopefully developers note this and make some awesome games that anyone can pick up and play. As well as some nice 1 player games like Metroid.

I read this in this month's egm, like I said. . .even my mom enjoys it.

I remember back when my grandmother had to sell her house and moved into a trailer-park 'retirement community.' She sat in her chair in front of the tv, day in, day out, crocheting things for people. Pretty soon her body atrophied to the point where she needed a walker to get around.

If we'd had Wiis back then, maybe I could've gotten her up off the couch and moving around a little.

Of course, who knows when it'll become easy enough to get a Wii to actually get one for the older folks in our lives...
