  • In general, parents can decide which games children are allowed to play.
  • Especially at a young age, rules should be set on how long and how often the console is used.
  • Games that are played online should only be played under supervision or not at all until the child reaches a certain level of maturity. This prevents the risk of cyberbullying or disturbing content.
Popular games
  • The most popular game theme is the Super Mario theme. Besides Super Mario Party, Super Mario Kart and Super Mario Odyssey, there are many other games that are all designed to be kid-friendly. Only the difficulty level might be too high for young kids.
