I would have to agree with you on this.
I have 3 children (age: 3, 5 & 7 this year) all own a NDSL.

My old man he was a gamer (NES times) and now he's playing NDSL after seeing his grandchildren playing he says it brings back old memory and a new concept to super mario.
My children manage to convinced my mother-in-law to play NDSL (Cooking Mama 1 & 2) and can you believe it she got some new cooking recipe from that game.
what was more interesting, my bro-in-law and my sister also got so interested of NDSL and they bought for themselves one unit for themselves. Somehow i believe Nintendo have brought all my family into gaming. Yeah it is weird but it's true.

So in my family we have a total of 5 NDSL, 1 PSP, 1 Wii, 1 PS2 & 1 X360. AND i don't believe video games are for kids only !

As long as we educate them properly about gaming even a game as Violent as Gear of War, can be nothing to them. But i do avoid them from Kane and Lynch or Army of Two, due to the profanity language. Kids learn very fast especially in "language"

Wahahahha .. yeah Nintendo Familiiiii !



Yeah my parents were like that as well. I was too also very lucky. I remember VERY long time ago when i was very young they send me to various competition but the one i'd remember the most was super mario 3 competition held somewhere in KL. I've still got that photo hahaha ... I got third placing. But it was good. I've won myself another NES ..hahahaha

I think my parent rather have me stay inside the room cuz if they don't buy i'll irritate them to death !

Hahaha ... i don't think that's what he meant.
I think his meaning is Balance between gaming and outdoor activities. heheh ...
Don't be a couch potato ..
