Try wii fit. Its kinda old but works well!

Sounds like you have all the data you need then. The only (minor) pitfall with a Series S is that one can't buy actual games as gifts for kids, as opposed to gift cards/codes, but that might be an academic issue at worst.

I'd recommend branching out with the game selection too; if you restrict yourself to only first-party titles in terms of Microsoft published stuff, you're going to have an even worse time than you were when depending on just first-party Nintendo offerings, in terms of waiting for releases.

The concept of "generations" only really gained traction in terms of Xbox 360 marketing buzzwords, touting it as "next generation" gaming for like a half-decade. I recall redditors struggling to re-phrase things as "current" generation when "next" became especially absurd. MS also called their UI update "NXE" or "New Xbox Experience" pretty much forever too, which has the same kind of absurd timeliness sensibility to it.

Anyway, it's no secret that Nintendo consoles seem to release "between generations," and I've witness somewhat absurd debates online about which "gen" this or that console should be regarded as. I feel like the easy answer would be simply stating things like "X is the contemporary of both Y and Z," but that doesn't slot nicely into a Wikipedia entry.

In the end, I don't think the concept needs to be stricken from polite conversation, but it does become functionally useless this far in to be talking about a specific numbered generation in most contexts. I think we're fine with just saying "current generation," "last generation," and (sparingly and where appropriate,) "next generation."

They like games, we had a blast with It takes two and Goat Simulator when I borrowed my friends Xbox. They liked some coop games on the Nintendo too, but they are so few and the replay value is not very good. So after they finished the most AAA games (Kirby Mario etc) the games just collecting dust. And it’s not that fun to have to wait a couple of years until they release next Mario Odyssey game if you know what I mean. Nintendo maybe drops one game per year that’s good for couch coop, then you play it for a couple of days then you have to wait another year for the next game.

The Xbox Series consoles simply have more co-op/multiplayer games, (for kids and beyond) and in greater variety, than any other console (helped in part by having more than two generations' worth of backwards compatibility).

If you were restricting yourself to just first-party Nintendo games, you were always in for a bad time as yeah, they're few and far between.

If performance and more game variety are your key desires, then this choice to change it up seems pretty straightforward.

A vital question, though... are you sure your kids like games if they don't play what you get them, or they just get angry or whatever?

Wii, there's literally nothing else to do, also getting a driving simulator won't do shit

A treadmill works best, if you want to play actual games though no console will actually help you exercise other than an oculus quest, if you really want to exersice while playing games pick up a quest. But the best option is just going to a gym or doing home exercises

It depends what you prefer - a portable or a home console?

If a portable console, get either a PS VITA or 3DS and jailbreak them. It's incredibly easy, just one google search and the first page has all the instructions. You can then download regular VITA/3DS games, emulators, roms, romhacks, etc.

As for a home console, either a PS3 or a Wii. Again, it's simple to jailbreak/hack them so you have thousands of hours worth of content at your disposal.

Hope you find something you'll like!

Get some fucking excersize lol

Umm, save yourself a few hundred whatevers and go outside and exercise.

A treadmill, gtfo lol

Nintendo switch or xbox with kinect or wii

Game cube

switch has some fitness games, and VR also has fitness games.

Retroid Pocket 3+

Like others have said, PS3 is the best option. The Sony exclusives are amazing single player experiences, and at least in the us they are quite affordable. For example, uncharted trilogy is like Indiana Jones, with the second and third games being amazing, Last of Us has an amazing story and gameplay, and God of War 1 2 3 are really fun to play.

Also, you have a large catalog of non-exclusives. My favorite single player campaigns are Bioshock, Call of Duty Modern warfare (1,2,3), COD Black Ops (1,2), spec ops the line, red dead redemption, and GTA V.

Now I know you didn't just say ps3 is retro 💀 I'm getting old

I would recommend a PS3, the fact that it's fairly easy to jailbreak at this point makes it one of the best. There's also tons of emulators for it that you can play games from other consoles with.

If you're hoping to only play legitimate software it's still a pretty good choice given most charity shops have a good supply of games, blurays also don't scratch as easily as regular DVDs.

A lot of consoles older than the PS3 esp anything from Nintendo GameCube and previous are in huge demand with collectors so you'll be paying a ton for some of the more desirable games.

A ps3 would be good. They are cheap and easily hacked, meaning you don't have to buy games if you don't want. Don't even need a CD drive really. If you replace the hard drive in it with an SSD then you won't have to worry about it failing either.

Of course it's not to late. This question is making my head spin. Why on earth would it be to late? There are exclusive xbox games you can get into, and there will be more down the road

You sorely underestimate the number of people who don't clean their bumbums😄

I didn't mean to portray an attitude, was just genuine. Sick of seeing people post on this sub asking if they should wash their bumholes when the answer is clearly yes.
