However the past 6-9 months have been really good for releases. Mario Kart 8 was great and I just picked up Super Smash Bros and it is absolutely fantastic as well. With Nintendo, you always know what you're going to get. They put out fun games that are easy to pick up.

I play with my 7 yr old son every so often....
he enjoys the Super Mario, Mario Karts, etc.
at this time I'm not interested in him wanting all the extra flashy games & such that are available for the XBox & PS4....
so for younger children I find it good and also with Netflix allows him to select Kids titles easily (although I find the kids titles Netflix has a little limiting over a long period of time)...
Overall it is a fun little system, and he seems to use the gamepad quite a bit with the mario games, seeing where opponents are with Mario Kart 8 and things like that.
Also not interested in getting the more violent titles while he is young & Nintendo makes it easier to stay with children centric games (keep in mind i do not have any other console so am not sure what others provide for younger children).
