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.
