hey all , first off let me say this forum looks great! I have one question, I have 6 year old twins and im not sure if a wii u would be good for them. They are great with the Ipad and other tablets. But im just wondering if the wii u would be good for them or if they are too young. or maybe I should get them a 3ds? what do you guys think?

Get them a Wii U.There's kiddy games like barbie, hot wheels, wii u play, etc. Those games aren't too challenging.

I'd get the Wii U. It's getting to the point where the Wii U is just picking up and having some more good games, while the 3DS is pretty much halfway through its life-cycle.

Wii Party U* 

and it seems to be a great family game based off of the footage I've seen of it. Especially since they can entertain themselves and play it together.

I don't play games targeted for four year olds. Sorry.

You don't have to play a party game for the family to know the name of it.

Have you never played Strip Candy Land?

 

 

 

That being said, the Wii U is an awesome system, and can play ALL of the original Wii's games. You should be able to get some really fun older games for $5 or so (just read the review though. You don't want games like Ninjabread man).

 

Your kids may even like a Wii Mini. It plays all of the original Wii's games and is a third of the price of the Wii U.

I'll say the same thing that I say to everyone. Get a Wii U. If they don't like it, you will.

haha, im a ps/xbox guy and wanted to play abit of Nintendo, my dream is they will bring gemfire to one of the newer consoles.

Well there's already new Super Mario Bros U.  We're less than a week away from Mario 3D World.  I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other games good for their age group already out, though I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Thats a tough decision....I like both systems...the 3DS has some cool games for 6 year olders, but then again so does the Wii U, 3D Mario land for the wii u look awesome and I thnk they would ahve loads of fun.  There are some cool games coming out in the future, but I am not sure how long you would want to wait for them, so 3DS is a good bet since they already have more games for that age group.

It depends on your kids. My 4yr old son has a ds and he knows how to play the Wii u. He plays Mario and pikmin 3. So either system would be good.
