Video game consoles

doesn't look like there are any games available for it. Thanks for all the
information.

The older systems that aren't being manufactured
anymore are not going to get any priority for new game
development, so the selection of games is going to be
necessarily limited. If your highest priority is a good
selection of games your girls will play, and your girls
don't like the "typical" games, the Wii is probably the
hands down winner.

Best wishes,

I like DreamCast. That's the current one that's hooked up to the TV
I tend to go back and forth between DreamCast and N64. On occasion, I
will go for the Super Nintendo
I don't care much for Xbox and the like games, although we have those
kicking around... IIRC, the Playstations are all up in my bedroom
closet - 3 of them and I think I saw an Xbox down in the basement in the
laundry room lol
My long ago ex said something about maybe he'd get DS a Wii for
Christmas. I think that the GameCube is a good one for being not too
ancient and still having a good variety of child/family friendly games.

It's all about preference.
Very generally speaking, Nintendo offers more games geared to the younger
crowd with very few violence... There's the whole Mario bit, tons of Disney.
Xbox is geared more towards the older crowd - lots more 'violent' games like
shooting games and role playing games. Playstation seems to be somewhere in
the middle with a variety of the non voilent and violent games. I do think
that for a new system with games still being made and readily available,
Nintendo seems to offer the best consoles that stick with games suitable for
all ages with very little voilent games, so to speak.

We got the N64 off ebay and have found that ebay is about the only
resource for games, as well. My dd doesn't play it any longer now
that we have the Wii.

I'm a big Nintendo fan. The systems (Super Nintendo, N64, Gamecube, DS, Wii, etc.) all have games that are fun for the whole family. If you want more information about the systems (Nintendo or anything else), ExpoTV has some great video reviews. You can check them out at: http://youcastcorp.com/rd/rd.php?u=http://expotv.com. Hope this helps!
