Yeah....it's tough. My 4 year old we play a few lego games but he has like zero patience, so we play for like 10 minutes and move onto non-gaming stuff. I know eventually he'll like it.

Nintendo has kid stuff for sure, but not sure Mario or Zelda are necessarily that easy for young kids. It really just depends on what they're into.

Short attention span, why not try app games? Or if you get console, maybe give him demos to play?

Thanks for the response guys. We're going ps4, for now. We'll eventually get a Switch.

My kids are nuts for the Lego games. We own 4 or five for the ps3. We'll be buying them for the ps4 as well...and I'll be getting mlb 18 eventually.

Well, we ended up with both. Their Nana bought the Black Friday PS4. Our Roomba went out, was on warranty, we got store credit back and got the Switch. We bought Mario Kart, we're about to get Zelda after checking it out at the library (wow). I've already bought MLB 16 ($5 Gamestop) and in time will get 17 ($10) and 18 to make sure my stuff transfers to 19 when I pick it up in May (I wait for discounts and patches and reports from you guys).

I hope Nintendo makes a Punchout for the Switch. That would be fun.
Thanks for the help everyone!
