In Japan, a 100-year-old gamer has caught the nation's attention as he spends his days freshly immersed in playing Super Famicom. His surprising commitment to gaming reveals the universal appeal of video games across generations. His daily routine includes several hours of Super Famicom, a games console popular in Japan during the '90s. The story shatters stereotypical images of the elderly and brings to forefront the benefits of gaming for mental sharpness and enjoyment at any age.

In Japan, senior citizens embracing technology is both encouraged and celebrated. It is perceived as a way of keeping the elderly engaged, mentally active, and preventing loneliness, issues the Japanese society deeply cares about given its high percentage of elderly population. This news has been received positively, with many admiring the elderly gamer's enthusiasm and dedication.

In the US or EU, senior citizens engaging with tech and games is appreciated but not as widely celebrated as in Japan. However, there's growing understanding about the potential cognitive and social benefits of video gaming for the elderly.
