NFT: Video Game Console advice for kids

Ross : 12/14/2014 10:36 am
I'll delete once you guys help me out...and thanks in advance.

My nephews are six (twins) and the family is chipping in to get them video game console. Which system do you think is best for six year old boys?

Xbox one with Kinect?
Wii U?
Nintendo DS for each of them?
Other?


thanks in advance
At that age

WiiU, no question. Plenty of puzzle games, interactive games, and everything mario.
For that age...

WiiU seems like the logical choice, unless they want to set them up with their own devices to play - in which I'd suggest the 3DS.

Either way - hit Target today. Wii U on sale for $250 with Super Mario and another game or a 3DS for $150 with a Disney game (so don't expect great quality, but free is free). Stop by Best Buy after for Buy one, Get one 40% of all Nintendo games.
I also think WiiU...

any good deals for Fifa 15 on Xbox One?

I was at a Microsoft store yesterday by sheer accident and they had a doorbuster deal on CoD or Destiny for $20 until noon. Picked up Destiny and figure to give that a shot but I really want Fifa without paying $60. I'm in around $40 if possible.

As for the OP pick up that bundle UA linked and get the new Toad game with it. At that age kids will love Mario and the puzzles in Toad are apparently really fun and not overly complicated.

Target and TRU has it for $40.

I usually just hit Cheap Ass Gamer once a week to figure out when deals are going to hit. After paying full price for Watch Dogs and a few other duds, I've vowed to only buy games on sale (unless they're AAA gems or have an online component that will have an active community at launch). I got four games for less than the cost of two new ones in the past month or so. Black Friday sales had a lot to do with that, but you'll still find bargains throughout the year.

Link below for the page with the deals.
