I still think Xenoblade is going to wind up being my only Wii-U purchase for 2015. Everything since Bayonetta 2 has been pretty garbage exclusives.

Game looks good, but i am hoping star fox is not some strange experiment like command and assault. I don't care if it's a clone of star fox 64 at least that game was good.

The first collectable is hidden behind an invisible wall. This does not bode well for completionists. On the other hand, Poochy now fetches collectables, making it the best collectathon.

Also, Nintendo games have the best graphics.

Last night, I decided to be weird.

My son is 6, and we put an old tube tv in his room and a Wii so he can watch Netflix from time to time. I took a classic controller, wrapped it on gold foil that we had from some chocolates purchased on Mother's Day, I put on a ratty robe that I had and went into his room before he had to go to bed. All of the lights were off. I sat in front of his tv, purchased the first Zelda game, and downloaded it. He said nothing, just stared at the screen. I started the game, and motioned for him to sit near me. I read the story text crawl in an ominous voice and pointed at the controller.

"You must find the Triforce and save the princess," I said. He unwrapped the controller and gasped. As he started to play, he asked me questions. "Where do I go?", I said, "Go where you must." "Where is the princesss?", I said, "That is up to you, hero." He found the first sword, wandered into the spooky tree castle, and I helped him defeat the dragon there. I turned off the tv, wrapped the controller again, put it on the shelf and said, "more tomorrow."

It owned.

E: Also, he has said nothing about it to his mother this morning.

I guess I failed in trying to write it like some adventure or something, but it was fun and 0% creepy, I promise. :shrug: He woke up early this morning and was searching for the controller, but when I told him it was something we'll get through together, he kind of grinned and nodded. Maybe I should've started with Ocarina of Time? I don't know.

Well I thought it was a very cool Dad thing to do Firstborn, though I might be biased because my parents never played games with me or anything.

Lately I've been seeing more about kids playing video games, like Red Letter Media's review of Shovel Knight and looking up Splatoon videos I found Family Gamer TV. It's been really neat to hear the parents talk about how excited their kids were when they figured out something on their own in games like Zelda. I don't have kids myself so I don't have any real perspective on the situation, but I hope that games would teach kids to try things on their own and figure things out, rather than just being colors and noise to keep them quiet. I'm glad Nintendo still makes games like that.

I'm open to suggestions. I think I'm partial to the Zelda games on NES because when I was his age/a little older, my grandmother would play the Zelda games and I'd watch. She wouldn't want me messing up her file and I wasn't very good at it, and also she has a lot of grandchildren. It became a thing just us. I asked her one time why she picked Zelda, and she tapped a finger on the cartridge with a picture of a jeweled sword and said, "I like the sword!" My grandmother didn't like fantasy stuff at all, so I thought it was adorable.


RE: RLM's Shovel Knight review - I saw that, too. Maybe that's where I got the idea. My son has watched me play like Dark Souls and stuff before and seemed excited, but I wanted a game that easy enough to where he could play it himself. I have Shovel Knight, but I think some of the precise jumps would actually give him trouble.

Yeah, Jack in RLM's review said his son had trouble with the precise jumps too, but was happy when he finally managed it. If your son likes the first Zelda, A Link to the Past would be good for being familiar mechanics-wise but still being a new experience. And you mentioned OOT so of course there's all the 3D Zeldas, but those are more complex than the 2D ones of course.

I'd think pretty much all the VC games would be okay for kids since they're the games our generation grew up with, but they might be frustrating because the standards were different then. It seems like the newer multiplayer games for the Wii U like NSMBU, 3D World, Hyrule Warriors, etc. might be good games to play with kids that have less of a frustration factor (at least until the latter levels).

I'd be fine with this. Also I somewhat agree on the tv in the kid's room, but he isn't allowed to watch it unless we'd be watching tv anyway, and he gets a special little pride of being the host because it's in his room.
