When Nintendo created the hardware and software that are behind Wii bowling, they did so with an eye toward expanding the traditional gaming demographic, and one audience that Wii bowling appeals to is our senior citizens. Perhaps part of the appeal of Wii bowling is the nostalgia, as it mimics the moves a bowler makes in an actual bowling alley, but whatever it is, senior citizens across the country are saying goodbye to shuffleboard and hello to Wii Bowling. Not only do they play the game during their leisure time, they have formed leagues and some even show up to practice daily. Amazingly, there are 186 teams and more than 1,000 bowlers in the throes of a virtual competition from California to New York as part of the National Senior League' Wii Bowling Competition.
