- ekianjo 9y agowhat if you dont like Nintendo games ?
- nf05papsjfVbc 9y agoThe games are for a young child. It is quite unlikely that Nintendo makes a game that is unsuitable for or disliked by people of that age. They are the one console maker who focuses on gameplay experience instead of graphics technology.
- fnord123 9y agoThen don't buy a Nintendo handheld...?

- intoverflow2 9y agoGet a PSVita instead it's a ridiculously underrated handheld and will be going cheap these days. But as it was a young kid we're talking about I think it's safe to say there will be something on Nintendo that they're into. My main point was more just you really do get what you pay for and if these things on iPads bother you then please vote with your wallets and buy products from companies that actually care about quality of their software.
- snegu 9y agoThere are tons of 3rd party games for the 3DS. If you can't find games you want to play on it, then you're not looking.
- lanius 9y agoThe console is supposedly for the kid, not you. I've never met a 4-year-old who didn't like Nintendo games.
- ekianjo 9y agoDoes not really answer my question. I don't feel that culturally these games bring much on the table. Why do you have to make 4-years old play games made for 4-years old? When I was 5 I wanted to play the games my 15 years old brother was playing.
- cmiles74 9y agoMy daughter is six and super-happy with the Nintendo DS. I have a 3DS that she also plays on sometimes. When she was 4, we bought one of those child-hardened Kindles and enrolled her in Amazon Freetime; she loved it.
- vanadium 9y agoExactly the same progression with my five year-old. He still uses his hardened Kindle with Freetime, but for most gaming, really likes his DS I restored from a broken state on the cheap.
