Umeji Narisawa is 99 years-old. And she’s still gaming.

She actually started playing video games when she was 63 years-old. After seeing her grandchildren play Bomberman, she decided to join in on the fun. Umeji has continued to play that game for twenty six years.

Umeji says that by playing the title every day, she can keep her brain sharp. She also believes that pressing the buttons on the NES controller can be considered a form of exercise.
