Nintendo and VTech Play Santa to Old and Young Kids!

If you think Nintendo is just for kids, think again!

My family was thrilled to teach residents at Harvard Square Retirement Community how to play the new Super Mario Bros.™ Wii.

The game is the latest in Nintendo’s popular Super Mario Bros. game series, which has sold more than 222 million games worldwide since premiering in 1986.
