Best console for kids

[fearsomepirate]

Gamecube. Yeah, it's got all the great kid franchises like Tak and Crash, plus Mario, but the main thing is you just plain can't bust it. Kids are hard on stuff.

what exactly is a kiddy game?

GC is much better for kids. And if if you don't mind waiting til mid next year, the Revolution will be backwards compatible with GC software

Super Nintendo(aka best system ever made)


Thats what I grew up on.

GC does have "kiddy" games. They have "video-games".

What exactly is a kiddy game?

You do know that the most people playing video games period on all systems are 18-25 males.Thats rather niche.

Definitely a GameCube. Grab a few extra controllers, and Mario Party or Mario Kart are great opportunities to have fun with the whole family and/or friends. Think not "kiddy games", think "quality software that is also suitable for kids". The GC also has a low price (99$ with a game bundled) and is very sturdy.

You may want to pick up Zelda Wind Waker, Super Smash Bros Melee, some of the Mario Sport games if you fancy them...

Not that I've much to contribute. GC and PS2 for the reasons given. I will say that you can burn quite a few calories playing EyeToy and it's really the only choice for active gaming I think. Plus you get zillions of peripherals for PS2 like Dance Mats and Singstar. Other than that, it's all been said already.
