My son (3) loves Super Mario Bros. but he only has the skill to get through 1-1 if he's lucky.
Still, he enjoys it, and I try to reduce the frustration of losing by laughing it off or saying how well he did.
I have a large collection of loose carts for famicom and thought it would be easy to pick out some fun games that are just about as simple or even easier to play than Mario.
But in browsing my collection, I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with anything. Most games, as many of us know, are out to destroy you, and even ones that are simple and fun often end your turn in a single hit or quickly escalate into a situation where you're doing difficult jumps.
It's been about over a decade since I've actually sat down and played a ton of Nintendo, so only the classics or my favorites stay in my head, but there has to be more out there.It's an awful big collection full of shit games but plenty of good ones I'm sure, and plenty I'm not familiar with at all.
Something like Kungfu would be great if you could take more than a few hits.
I think Kirby is close to hitting the mark, but the controls and mechanics might be a little complicated yet for my son.
Please spare me the 'why are you making your son play old games' spiel. The fact is I have a ton of these games, they may as well be enjoyed, and what's good here is just as fun as it was 30 years ago, and like I said, he loves playing.
Any ideas?? Much appreciated!
