I think I've seen those old timers on Youtube once, good on them for having a ball with the Wii. I think the Wii is an especially nice system for elderly or casual gamers cause the controls are usually easier to get used to and they don't have to remember to press 10 different buttons to get something going.

Also reminds me that I heard long ago that they let people at nursing homes play Legend of Zelda to keep their mental vitality. But that's the news from fivteen years ago.
