I helped for the battles and reading the dialogues but he did all the exploring by himself. He’s so thrilled, but also sad it’s over. Now I’m hesitant between Pokemon FireRed (he loves Pokemon but that a lot more text to read) or PaperMario TTYD (but we don’t have a switch for the remaster version). Any other ideas for the next game. He loves RPG style games where you get to think and explore more than reflex/speed based games.

What a time to be alive. Using a PS3 controller on a Macintosh laptop to play a Nintendo game, all while using board games as a desk. Lmfao I love it op.

Either way. Thanks for the clarification though; I don't PlayStation.

Mario RPG for the SNES is really good. I was going to replay it recently but it sounds like a remaster is coming

To be fair, TTYD doesn't hit switch until next year sometime. It's hard to pass up pokemon! But chrono trigger, earthbound and super mario rpg are some of my favorites.

Ooh Chrono Rrigger. Plus I finished it twice so I can help him.

Once it's out, though, TTYD was incredible!

[-] Ok_imagination@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Too true! I can't wait!

Nothing spurred my son to read (and then read better and faster) more than the fact that it was required to play video games.

Nope. He absolutely loved it. He’s also building his own website (with weebly, and yesterday he stumbled upon the dev console and figured out hot to change bright backgrounds to black lol)

In no way is this child abuse. Preventing your child from playing Paper Mario is though.

Only if you make him beat anti guy with no life shroom

Dragon Quest is the OG for a reason. The remakes are a lot less grindy and don't use ye olde Englysshe so they would be easier to read but less educational.

why's he playing in these conditions?

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

We usually played on the couch but this time he wanted to be there instead. 🤷‍♂️

Lmao I can see the tipofmyjoystick posts in 15-20 years

"Hey so I played this game on a laptop, it had a red guy and it was turn based and everything had these flat visuals. It might have been a playstation game because I remember using a ps4 controller"

… that’s not all, I also remember playing it on an iPhone…
