Nintendo's Coolest Grandparent of the Year!

Nintendo's Brain Age video game isn't just a hit with kids, grandparents love it too! To celebrate gamin' grandparents, Nintendo held a contest at the Nintendo World store in the Rockefeller Plaza in New York City on September 9, 2006. The contest was open to grandparents of all shapes and sizes and it was a Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day showdown. After putting their math, reading, computing, memorizing and gaming skills to the test, one winner came out on top - Barbara St. Hilaire of Mantua, Ohio. This 70 year-old gamer has 13 grandkids and has been gaming since 1975!
"I'm amazed I won! I didn't think I was that good," said Barbara. "I play with my 13 grandkids and they are all gamers. It's a lot of fun."
