@wazlon our GBA SP was an AGA-101 model with a brighter screen which accounts for the shorter life I think. But yes, other systems here were ones we've used a lot in the home.
@ScorpionMG that's the question I think. Should we group the Wii U with the 360/PS3 or with Xbox One/PS4. Particularly as the same developer is looking after Xbox One/PS4/Wii U. That's why I held off labeling on Wii U in the video.
@Gerbwmu finding games to play together has been a key one for us. I'm often surprised by what we take to. In fact since writing this we've had a resurgence with Let's Catch WiiWare game. It's not only surprisingly detailed game-play mechanics but deals with significant issues like abandonment, family break up and unrequited love. Certainly lots to talk about.
@rjejr it will be interesting to see how tastes and gaming behaviour changes as my children get older. The boys being 6 and 8 perhaps I'm not seeing the same pattern as yours yet. Have they tried Disney Infinity? My kids like that because it's more co-operative and your can go your own way.
@rjejr that's very kind. You are right that in many ways this doesn't appear to be a family game, but that's my point. Unexpectedly this has functioned (and been enjoyed) as much as other family friendly games with multiplayer and the like. The visuals, Link character, story-telling and locations work together to get the whole family involved. I wonder if this would work for your family?

Re: Parent Trap: A Family Gamer's Perspective On The Nintendo Switch
@RatKing64 well said.
Re: Parent Trap: A Family Gamer's Perspective On The Nintendo Switch
@dew12333 no he'll be fine. I suspect there will be third party covers to help protect it. Do attach the wrist strap strips yourself though.
Re: Parent Trap: Why Affordable Multiplayer Adventures Matter
@japfelix Oh yes, I've been meaning to check out Stealth Inc. 2.

Re: Parent Trap: Forging A Link Between Worlds
@IxnayontheCK that's great to hear. Love your Metriod story! Perhaps we should talk to you on FGTV.
Re: Video: Proof That Mario Kart 8 Can Only Be Enriched By The Addition Of F1-Style Commentary
@ledreppe only tried at the start then switched to sticks. Both felt good though. I'm just more used to stick shift.
Re: Video: Proof That Mario Kart 8 Can Only Be Enriched By The Addition Of F1-Style Commentary
@suburban_sensei in person it really did look the business.

@SirMime a future for Rory as a voice actor then?
Re: Parent Trap: Nintendo 2DS Family Stress Test
@8bitforever 2DS XL would be huge. I wouldn't rule it out though.
Re: Parent Trap: Nintendo 2DS Family Stress Test
@MJKOP yes it's a great system for a younger gamer. I'm sure your daughter will enjoy it. Also no 3D to worry about. Let me know how she gets on.

Re: Feature: Why Zelda: Wind Waker HD Is The Perfect Game For Families
@Metalslime good point. Very good point! Grand Theft Tingle? Grand Tingle Auto?
Re: Video: See How Mugen's "20 Hour" 3DS XL Battery Fares Against Other Nintendo Handhelds
@SilentHunter382 You can't use the Mugen and CPP as far as I could tell during the review.
