Just curious for any insight that other parents could provide on this.
My daughter turned 3 in August. She's very smart and has taken an interest in watching me while I play, and she has her own "controller" (an old TV remote with no batteries) that she plays with as she watches.
I was thinking that the NES Mini would be a perfect way to let her try out gaming. Simple 2D graphics and a basic controller with 2 buttons that's tailor-made for small hands seems like a good fit for a child. This wouldn't be opened until Christmas so she'd be almost 3 1/2 when she actually gets to try it.
Is this an appropriate age? Or is she too young? I have no recollection of when I first started playing games, and Googling it brings up a bunch of shitty fear mongering sites, so I was hoping GAF would be able to help.
