AARP’s Life@50+ National Event & Expo Attendees to Get Active with Nintendo’s Wii System at Sept. 21 Meet-and-Greet
WHAT: Visitors to this year’s Life@50+ National Event & Expo in Los Angeles will be “getting their game on” during a lively meet-and-greet event hosted by AARP on Sept 21. Nintendo will be on-site to encourage attendees to step up and enjoy live, hands-on demos of video games for the Wii™ system, including Wii Play™: Motion, Wii Sports™ and Wii Fit™ Plus. In addition to the social, physically active fun of Wii, the meet-and-greet will feature live music and a delicious variety of California-made food and wine, creating a festive block party atmosphere.
Since launching the Wii console in 2006, Nintendo has led the industry in expanding the worldwide audience for video games, in part by reaching out to boomers and seniors with no previous gaming experience. Today, the Entertainment Software Association estimates that nearly one-third of U.S. gamers are over the age of 50. Last year’s interactive Nintendo meet-and-greet at the 2010 Life@50+ conference in Orlando, Fla., drew an audience of roughly 2,000 people.

Chunsoft president comments on Dragon Quest X
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Chunsoft president Kouichi Nakamura has weighed in on Dragon Quest X. Nakamura worked on the first Dragon Quest game back in 1986, but he did a lot more than you may think. Nakamura was actually one of the primary contributors on that title.
When asked about Dragon Quest X, Nakamura said:
“Well, this is just my opinion, and I’m only speaking for myself. I see a lot of people are upset that Dragon Quest X will be an MMO. But to me, much of what made Dragon Quest successful in the first place was that it took hardcore, difficult RPGs like Ultima and Wizardry and made them accessible to the masses so that everyone could play and enjoy them. These days, MMOs represent that kind of demanding, hardcore game. So, it only seems natural to me that Dragon Quest would attempt to make that genre something everyone can enjoy as well.”
