The Nintendo Wii console is the first console marketed towards users aged 5 to 95. It’s a universally fun console, which has gotten about as much buzz as a Led Zeppelin Rock Revival concert would. Anyone can pick up a Wii remote and play the games with ease. Not all Wii games are easy though, some require a bit more effort. Wii games that seniors can play can vary from brain engaging games to more fitness oriented games.
Puzzle games are fantastic for any senior. They stimulate the brain and keep the mind active. Multi-player puzzle games are even more fun, because you can challenge a loved one, getting the competitive juices flowing. “Tiki Tiki Towers” is one of the many puzzle games that will surely provide brain stimulating entertainment for seniors interested in gaming!
Wii Sports is a game that comes with the Nintendo Wii console, and can be a great way to get a light exercise. It features boxing, tennis, baseball, bowling, and golf. These require subtle movements, but they are also great for establishing a good workout. Senior citizens will have a blast participating in the Wii Sports game. Later in 2009 a new addition to the Wii Sports is said to be released, Wii Sports Resorts!
Wii Fit is another game in the long list of games that seniors can effectively play and enjoy. They will learn strength training, yoga, and light aerobics. Wii Fit is a simple and easy way to exercise, right in your living room.
There is also the board game classic, Monopoly. Everyone can play Monopoly. It is the perfect game for seniors, without the hassle of board game pieces on a living room floor. It’s also multi-player, so you can challenge your family members to a match.
There are many Wii games that are spin-offs of classic living room games. Yahtzee, Sorry, Battleship, Chess, and much more! The Mario collection is also a good choice, because they are fun and just difficult enough to provide valuable brain stimulation.
If you seek mind challenging games, then there are plenty of games such as Trivial Pursuit and Big Brain Academy. These games are particularly beneficial for seniors, because they stimulate and encourage an active mind.
There are tons of Wii games to be enjoyed by young and old alike. They are easy to learn and fun to play.
