Wait... Wouldn't Galaxy be a better choice for a 10 year old girl than Brawl?

Is this her first gaming machine? What kind of games does she like?

She had a GC before this. I'm not buying her Galaxy because I don't feel like beating every difficult part of the game for her like I did Sunshine. Mario games are pretty brutal on kids.

@rol: I would love to wait for MK but her party is tomorrow. Another game I was considering was RRR2. I would prefer Brawl, though. She plays a lot with her stepdad and based on the previous Brawl games, it seems friendly enough for casuals to get into while still retaining enough depth to keep someone like me interested for more than five minutes.


 

Didn't she get a few years older since SMS, so she probably got a little better at gaming in the meantime? Also you should give a present with her interest at heart, not your own. Also having to play SMG can never be considered a bad thing, although some levels might get a bit frustrating. But since you can also just skip most of these levels and still finish the game you really should be ok.

I didn't say I am recommending this.

I would advise you to get Wii Sports - oh, wait....

Does she have a second controller with Wii Play? She might enjoy that.

Otherwise, SSBB seems fine, especially since you can also play it.

Brawl is no walk in the park either you know XD

What about Zack and Wiki? Wait... same problem.


Zack & Wiki is not a good game for kids.  It's very difficult.

What about endless ocean?  Is that game too difficult?

What about that Hannah Montana singing game?

I would say Brawl. When my niece used to come over to visit she would spend the whole weekend playing Smash Bros Melee. She was around 10 years old at the time so Smash Bros seems ideal for 10 year old girls.

Well since you can't actually lose endless ocean no, but it's also not a game designed for kids. It's more geared towards adults. It's soothing and slow. A 10 year old girl would be bored.

Anyone else see the irony that we are having trouble coming up with a child appropriate game on the system many refer to as the "kiddy console?"

Mario Kart is a Win for all ages,

I have done some experiments with the Wiimote for Brawl, and I like it. I still prefer the GC controller however.

If you see the B button as your Jump, A as attact, Z as special, A + B Grab, and turn off the directional jumping the controls are extremely precise for me. Also it does use motion control, when using WiiMote you have a option to Make swinging the Wiimote your smash Attach. It is a little tricky at first(you will sometime do an up smash when you want to do a down smash, or side smash the wrong direct). You can also set the C button for your shield/dodge. Taunts are done with the D pad.
