Everyone starts somewhere. Don't feel bad and don't let others make you feel bad.

The Switch is a good system, despite the media. The most trouble you may have is with the controller, but I've had one of the original versions and it's served me just fine.

You can set up multiple accounts on the Switch (and likely Playstation too), so each kid has their own files, and games are usually shared across the home console (I.e., buy a game once and all three can play.) The single screen multi-player options are a bit limited, but that's just gaming today. Playstation and Xbox will have the same problem.

4g internet should generally be fine, faster is better of course, but it shouldn't be a problem.

For storage, the switch can take a large (256gb+) SD card and that should be more than enough space. For PS5, the disk drive is usually the better option, less to download and store.

For a TV, if it can utilize a chromecast, it's probably decent enough. Most consoles just need an HDMI port to plug into. Again, newer is better, but not essential.

I hope this helps clear some things up. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

You aren't required to own specific model or have specific feature in your TV. Newer online multiplayer games may take advantage of 120hz refresh rate in supported TVs. They will feel little smoother to controller but unless you are thinking about buying new TV for $1000+ this isn't something you should worry about.

Use what you have it's fine 99% of games will aim to play at 60fps anyway so standard 60hz refresh rate is perfectly fine. Console will adjust to resolution if your TV as well.

Just focus on console and getting games cheaper if you are trying to cut cost.

First of all, I am having a blast with the game so far ! My question is: how did you balance the puzzles' difficulty ? Did you have to remove or modify a lot of them because they were too hard / confusing / easy ?

Bioshock - would you kindly play this game.

Horizon Zero Dawn - Helis (story) and that ending fight. Damn, do I miss well crafted games like this!

Metroid - He's a she??!!

Final Fantasy XII - it's a shame this game got too much flack for its combat system, but I just melted with the story because it wasn't over the top garbage. Just a straight forward divide and conquer with a young girl looking to restore her world without all the crybaby stupid we see everywhere today. The ending was icing on the cake for me.
