Well I have {mandatory} a wii and N64 hooked up to the tv in the family room. So, they know mario. He has a DSXL as well. I guess I should have spent more on Wii games than buying every N64 game there is. Maybe he would have appreciated Nintendo more.

well the N64 was pretty amazing with some amazing games so i dont think thats the issue. just those damn apple! i have no idea why kids want an ipad but somehow they just do, im guessing if he has the DSXL and Wii he might go back to the better games sooner or later

At least you're nice enough to listen to what your kids want. I know some parents that force their tastes onto their children.

What kind of a father sells his own kids to Apple like that, we could of had another loyal Nintendo fanboy. Also he made you buy a ipad mini instead of a Wii U. That kid is EVIL! jk.

That's probably a good idea. After all, we don't want the kids seeing this: (NSFW, I guess...) http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdp3jjPBi31qbexgeo1_500.jpg
