Gaming Nintendo Switch 2

Needs to be a completely new Mario Kart. Away with the red shell! And in with some innovation and fresh ideas.

About time they brought F-Zero back, too.

You’d think they have a solid and varied array of titles lined up with their first party leads bringing oomph to the table.

Need this to come out in June so it can accompany me on a slew of long haul flights in the upcoming months, whilst my Switch gets palmed off to others in the travelling parties.
Yes, and blue shell.
 
Kids are all obviously very different so no generalization but I always have the voice of my cousin in the back of my head who, with two much older sons (~12 and 17yo), basically mentions gaming as the major impact to his kids (Fifa now) and rhe gates of hell. I also didn‘t forget how it affected myself when I got a NES back in the day - had no gameboy.

I do sometimes worry about this. I don’t want them to hand no attention span or fried dopamine receptors. On the other hand, I’d like them tech savvy to hopefully get an advantage in what I think will be a drastically different job market when they’re adults. My eldest is currently making power point presentations at age 7 and I’ll teach him basic videography soon. Plus some initial teaching on AI.

Both of my boys are very physical and social too - lots of sport and activity. I’m incredibly pleased with how they are turning out in general.

It’s not easy though. There’s a lot in society that can lead people down bad paths and it’s hard always to anticipate what we might be doing to negatively impact upon them. I got divorced last year so my main focus has been getting them through that. So far, so good.

I think the main thing I want them wary of as they get older is porn as I feel it’s incredibly destructive at a young age and the current stats on age of first exposure is shocking.

Anyway, I digress. Back to gaming :)
