Inoculating children against mobile phone games via Nintendo DS

[madbringer]

Don't have kids.

In my head that translates as "I'm too much of a pussy to start a family, I cannot take care of it".

Your head is junk. Some people just hate kids. They are noisy and they smell like ****. Get over it.

I don't know how to respond to that vomit, honestly. One quip Ill shoot is maybe someone should have thought you were noisy and smelled like ****. ********.

I wonder how bad that jewess on your avatar smells, probably twice as much as any child.

I would be the first to find out

Pretty sure the casting couch and Hollywood producers have already found out. Be pretty weird if they hadn't by the time an actress is, what, 45 years old?

Honestly just stick to White Shark's list. Maybe add Strange Journey, Rhythm Heaven and possibly the Taiko no Tatsujin DS version. Great fun.

Honestly, the DS is the console I played the most in my life, despite my love for the SNES. It just has by far the most games and, if handled well, never breaks, much like the original brick Gameboy.

Don't forget Elminage: Original is on PSP. (Also on PC, and obviously the PC version is the definitive one).

The Dark Spire is on DS, another good one.

Some good dungeon crawlin' there. (Some of the best).

[Cedric]

I can't believe I forgot to mention Dark Spire. Although. IMO only enough for one playthrough, it's an incredible take on the Wizardry genre, dripping with style and nostalgia. Incredible game.

[Klerik]

Game Gear is better

[Segata]

How is it worse?

Just take a look at Jenkem

[SDG]

With the emergence of Steam Deck there is no reason to ever use another handheld system again.

[General Reign]

My kids will learn the joys of proper mobile gaming.

What is this abomination of (late?) 90's tech?

[Thor Kaufman]

No thanks, I don't want my kids getting brain damage. They will get a crackpipe and a glock 19 instead.

BASED

No public school either. When the kids need to learn about the birds and the bees, they will have plenty of memories when daddy put mommy in a chokehold and made her tap out.

Crack is way less addictive than all these **** games. How does the saying go.

I would never accuse doctors of being drug dealers. Drug dealers don't sell meth (aka ritalin) to children.

Say no to gooming. Say no to public schools.

Having a console in your house is basically grooming. There isn't a single developer who won't cave to ********. You might as well surrender custody of your son to your wife and tell your son you're off to buy cigarettes, because you've failed to raise him. He will either grow up a fat drunk, an incel, or ******. Your hereditary line is over, your family tree is dead. You'd have been safer with a daughter, than a son who plays vidy gayms.

Nintendo titles are really the only ones worth playing for kids. Other platforms are full of more adult-oriented games, and you can't really shield your children from those influences. It's sickening just how many kids play Call of Duty and Resident Evil.

But given how bad Nintendo is as a company, it's best to not buy them any console at all and only allow them access to some of the fan-made, native PC versions that have been popping up. Like the ones for Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. Above all, you must expose them to media that promotes a positive, Godly worldview. Not something that promotes nihilism and degeneracy.

[maidenhaver]

That's a job for church.

[KnightoftheWind]

Look at me, I'm mugging!

Protestant "churches" aren't Churches.

[maidenhaver]

"Y-your church isn't the REAL church. RETVRN TO TRADITION!" No. Its just smells and bells. Nobody actually believes in it.

[Cedric]

You best start believing in Bible stories, mister maidenhaver. You're in one.

I'll add devil survivor, but it's a pretty solid list overall.

[WhiteShark]

I forgot the original was on the DS. I played Overclocked, the 3DS version. No doubt an excellent game either way, but I understand that Overclocked added quite a bit.

Will Redditors ever stop embarrassing themselves?.

I'm waiting for you to get beyond 4chan to have an intelligent discussion with you. You embarrass yourself well enough.

Seconding FFTA2. Safe, has a charming aesthetic, is fun, and is the refinement of the Tactics' subseries gameplay. It is a good entry point into more indepth RPG gameplay where you manage a team and level up jobs and equip subjobs to gain access to more skills, acquire items with effects that you build around, have to account for slowly wading through water or pushing people off cliffs to their deaths, etc.

Xenoblade Chronicles for the New 3DS is fantastic. It's pretty much a high production value JRPG ported to handheld. You get an overall good story (first half is very engaging), likeable characters, great aesthetics and environments, good music. The combat is serviceable, and there is a little bit of character customization. The English dub is also above average. The only downside is that the combat is merely serviceable but not great. The sidequests are truly mediocre and should be skipped.

Pokemon Sapphire for the GBA is very good. Good aesthetics, difficulty, etc. I must have spent 200 or 300 hours playing it. The 3DS remake isn't as good aesthetically or challenge wise, but the upside is that you get a massive roster of Pokemon to choose from and the very cool mega evolutions.

The DS Pokemon games are also good, namely HGSS (has the most amount of content and features, huge roster to pick from), Black & White 1 (sufficiently difficult, good story), and ORAS (has a huge roster to pick from, once you beat the story it is very easy to acquire almost any of the 450 Pokemon in the game that you want, including past legendaries). X&Y has some neat designs in it, but lacks content, so you would be just using that game to get designs to use in ORAS. IIRC transferring Pokemon over from X&Y to ORAS means you would need two 3DS' now that online services have been terminated.

Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates are also good. Fates gives you a huge amount of content and could last hundreds of hours. Though whether or not you want a young kid playing an anime waifu game with some scandalous character designs (Nyx is the main offender here off the top of my head)...

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time was a neat co-op action game. There isn't character progression or customization. You pick your race and then you either mash A to do melee/bow attacks or hold down the other button to charge up and move a magic spell.

The first Ace Attorney game is an okay visual novel. I don't remember the early cases. Sometimes you will need to use google to figure out what to do next. The last case of the first game however is pretty gripping.

Like 50/50 chance your kid turns out ***** if they play these.

[Oyster Sauce]

I used to have this. It was kind of sick, you fight your way through the Ginyu Force and then take on Frieza. It ******* sucked.

[Stack of Turtles]

bros, this thread is two years old

I doubt he still cares

[Jordy]

Probably cost $30.

[maidenhaver]

Yeah, Jim's kids have probably moved out of the house by now.

[spookyheart]

Thats now virtually impossible honestly, kids these days rather be gambling addicts or brainrotted skibidi fortnite cringe eitherway all normalfag degeneracy if you ask me, allowing kids acess to cellphones and computers was a mistake. :/

[Norfleet]

Phones, yes, computers, no. I made sure my kids have plenty of access to NORMAL COMPUTAR GAMES but NO PHONETARDERY. This was made easier by the fact that nobody here has a phone and we live in a cave in Outer Bumfuckistan where there is no phone service, and thus no way to be a phonetard.

Result: They aren't phonetards.

[Emile2004]

Speaking from experience kids love Lego games. The original DS has some Lego Star Wars games that my niece likes.

Based. This is my plan as well, I'm really excited to be able to get my kid into video games but I got a bit longer to wait. I got a few years to make sure I'm ready to homeschool because public schools are child abuse
