The Riderwood retirement community in Silver Spring, Maryland is following in the footsteps of the Sedgebrook retirement home in Chicago, Illinois by hosting Wii game tournaments [0]. A feel good story from Kotaku [1] explained how the residents at Riderwood had a Wii [1] Home Run Derby last week in honor of Barry Bonds record-breaking home run. They even had Doris Terry, a pitcher from the 1940's All-American Girls Baseball League participate in the Derby. Considering 47 percent of all casual game players are 50 or older, and nearly 20 percent are 60 or older [1], the Wii seems like a fun way for seniors to get some exercise, stimulate their minds, and have a jolly good ol' time!
