Old People Games

Many of the elderly would say that Wii is a system for youngsters only. Old people say the darndest things. The Wii is all inclusive, and doesn't fit a certain demographic. The folks over at Nintendo have already started to look to Wiitirement; Wii Sports includes golf as a sport. However, I see the need for greater catering to the old people, and the fortunes they will leave behind when they die. Yes, it's time for Wii Sports: Old People, which could also be called Wii Sports: Wiikness and Wiisdom.

This game would lower the exertion level of the already non intensive sports played in retirement communities. Take, for example Wii Shuffleboard:

There would be even less effort to play shuffleboard then. For the elderly, this makes a huge difference (they could even "dress" the court by themselves), but for younger, stronger people, it still results in launching the little discs way off the back of the court. 

There are other obvious ideas for old people sports that could be in the game. Lawn bowling, or water aerobics (water proof Wiimotes!), for another. Heck, there could even be Wii Bridge. Card games can count as sports for old people. 

The bottom line is, the Wii is not restricted to the younger generation. It can help the elderly enjoy life too. The Wii reaches out to all ages.
