We have a Wii (was mine but I gave it to him)  . You don't think a 7 year old can handle the gamepad? 7 year olds today "grow up" with iPads and tablets etc, I think he'll be fine.

Nothing's wrong with Smash, it's just fun factor. I think he'll enjoy Splatoon more than he would enjoy Smash.

good tactic dude ..

See comment above, talking about his tastes/what I think he'll find the most fun, not that it's too violent or anything.

That's a wise decision.

It's even worst to spend money for one by your standard.

Just because they grow up with them doesn't mean they take good care of them. I grew up with books, then got mad at myself years later when I was old enough to read, but couldn't read them due to all of the scribbles. My nephews grew up with the N64 and Playstation, but would rip up the cords, put coins in the N64's slots, and throw PS discs like frisbees. I'm sure your lil' bro is a lot more responsible than we were (or at least I hope), but little kids are little kids. They don't yet  know how to appreciate and take care of things the way an older person does.

Congrats!

Hope you enjoy it.

Eh, I'm confident he won't ruin it. I got my PS2 when I was 6, and it still works fine. In fact I think it'll be better for him to learn some responsibility by owning his own thing, instead of using others' stuff.

Now you're playing with power

I think your brother will need Bayonetta as well lol
