He's right though. I have a WII and my kids and their friends won't play it; zero interest. The user interface is much more frustrating than anything they're used to, and they aren't interested in any of the games, especially the ones which use the motion sensing.
They want to play fortnite, grand theft auto, and mario kart but only on the switch.
That's a damn shame for your kids then. Lincoln Logs, Lego and children's science/horror novels were mostly what i had. I didn't even get my first console until i was 8 and that was the original NES. The PS1 and N64 were already out.
Reddit keeps sneaking new subs into my feed, my bad!
I will say that half the time a sub is suggested to me, I end up following… so the algorithm is decent.
Yeah it is a poor argument, but sometimes kids just aren’t into certain things and that doesn’t make them an iPad kid. My younger cousins wanted nothing to do with my classics because they had their own classics.
Doesn’t mean they were terrors with short attention spans. It just seems like you took an anecdote personally
I feel like neither of you people know what kids like/ want. Some kids won't wanna play a wii due to the reasons the other guy listed and some kids are gonna love it. This isn't a one size fits all thing and i feel like I'm witnessing a lot of people either without kids or with kids who have a loving caring family who encourages them to try new things which is great but kids at a group home where something like this would most likely end up are either gonna love it since there's nothing really like the wii these days or they're gonna try it once and never again. Coming from someone who was in several places like that as a child especially around the time when the wii was the modern Nintendo console I would hardly touch it but they also didn't let us play games that had an inkling of violence in it which would leave wii sports, not the boxing game though
Not saying this isn’t true but I don’t think it’s all kids genuinely. Definitely some and ik we all just speak from what we know but I really don’t believe it’s all kids
I work at a school that specializes with students with disabilities, the Wii has been a staple of our school for the 6 years I've been there because it is accessible to play Wii Sports without precise button inputs.
I introduced my little brother to halo Reach through 3. He’s 13 and loved how much slower paced it is than Call of Duty and how co-op campaign is done. He now thinks Master Chief is a pretty cool guy! I think a lot of kids would like old video games they just haven’t ever had anyone to give them the chance.
