"Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill? BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILL!"

"Hang on Betty, you try walking with two wooden legs."

"Whatyasay?"

"I SAID,YOU TRY WALKING WITH TWO WOODEN LEGS"


Old people. Known for, er, being old. And Wrinky. Passing their time with the occasional game of Chinese Checkers, Stenna chair-lift racing and the annual sleep marathon, Old People rely on entertainment. They may not be as peppy as younger people, but they sure aren't boring!

So, bearing this in mind, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to cash-in on this franchise. Enter Nintendo.

Built into their Old-People's-home room, the Gamecubicle has many defining features that are suitable for use with Old People. Rails allow easy access without the fear of falling over, Mario's voice can be set at well over 200db for those with poor hearing, and special glasses allow the TV to be seen from well over 4 feet.

A Gamecube, TV, Sofa with built-in toilet and a Mario-themed telephone can be found in these Gaming-orientated rooms.

Since some Old People, although able to use the controller, can't take advantage of the rumble feature- due to loss of feeling in their hands, the Gamecubicle has Rumble-teeth. Yes, simply remove your everyday chompers, stick in the Nintendo Rumble-chops and enjoy the rumble feature that has many boys (and especially girls :D) excited.

Games now come in two languages: English and Super-English. This booms out the sound through the special speakers allowing even the tone-deaf gamers to hear their favourite games.

But best of all is the implementation of Mario Kart Wheelchairs. Seating two people, these little 'nippers' are custom built. A special track is laid outside, VR headsets are added and bingo- Virtual reality Mario Kart for old people.

Expect an arsenal of False Teeth, Zimmer frames, Prozac and Hearing aids, Mari Kart: Double Age is expected to hit all old People's homes by Christmas.


So there you are- thanks to the big N, Old People can finally enjoy their Glory days.
