My parents play Tetris on some type of on-demand cable thing with the cable remote. They came to my place when Beatles Rock Band came out and played through the main campaign with my brother and I, that was cool.

I don't have any kids, but I do play games with my husband's much-younger brother, who is 10. We got him addicted to Pokemon at the age of 8. He loves Mario, and Splatoon. Though all he does in Splatoon is play the single player, hide in the ink, and toss bombs when his ink is full. He begs us to play Smash Tour with him whenever we visit. His favorite character in it is Pac-man. He also likes Hyrule Warriors, his favorite character there being Wizzro.

If anything, the popularity of splatoon vs how badly mario party + tennis games were received last year speaks volumes.

I was afraid of everything growing up and my dad would ask me what scared me then find a game featuring it and force me to play it so he could laugh at me. Good times.

I don't think Mario Party 10 would've been received so badly if it didn't have that stupid "everyone in one car" gimmick. I think that turned a lot of people off cause there was really no reason to change up a formula that worked perfectly fine (and yes I know that gimmick came before 10). Well and also I think a bunch of clear mini stars instead of getting one big gold star was too weird and unsatisfying.

I don't watch sitcom TV anymore, but when they show kids playing video games, do they still have them use N64 controllers while Atari 2600 Pac Man sound effects play in the background?

Morton is my perfect Juggalo son, and I won't hear you bad mouth him  Koopa Kids would be amazing in the following spinoff games: Weird Fire Emblem clone where Ludwig is your prince; Low-effort Tetris Attack sequel; Weird exploration-platformer like Chibi-Robo, where you play as the Koopaling of your choice in Bowser's hilariously oversized castle; Inevitable Mario Musou; Sid Meier's Pirates clone, with koopa airships.

VideoGames posted:If you are the way a lot of these stories are going, then please smile for you are a good gaming dad! My older son loves my hobby for many reasons, but the top two are definitely these: 1. I am a sucker for buying a console just to play a few "must have games". This means he doesn't have to beg us for them and he can even sometimes get away with not making those his "big" present at Christmas because Dad wants it anyways. 2. We are both PC gamers primarily and while I don't upgrade as often as many enthusiasts with deep pockets I still upgrade fairly often. He gets all of my hand me down parts for free and they are usually pretty darn good.

It's not usually that particular combination, but yeah; stuff like that happens ALL THE TIME. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had two characters playing couch co-op Halo 5; which was criticized for lacking that very feature. And I've seen so many stock images of mismatched controllers/systems/games.

I used to think my dad was spoiling the poo poo out of me, giving me shoeboxes full of 1.44" disks of pirated Amiga games, and buying me any console I wanted each Christmas (but we were decidedly middle class, so only one per generation!) but looking back, he just wanted to play pinball and flight sims on my poo poo. Buying me hundreds of dollars worth of my own games was just a ruse.

What happens now is that him and I sorta "wink wink nudge nudge" each other in order to convince my wife that I am buying this "for the children".

We need more fishing games because the genre has been dead as hell since the Dreamcast. Sega Marine Fishing was the high water mark with Sega bass Fishing 1 and 2 being slightly beneath it and then there was Reel Fishing Wild. Also where the gently caress is Endless Ocean 3? Granted I could go scuba diving IRL since I live in a beach front condo, but a videogame takes a whole less lot of effort to do and videogame whales are unable to eat you IRL.
