What's a good, simple title to introduce gaming to my 5 year old niece? She liked Animal Crossing, but I think it's a little too wordy for her level

I have a WiiU, GameCube, and n64. Suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you!

Super mario 3d world

Basically almost any Mario game really. Go with Super Mario 64 or something.

I should also note that she specified "no bad guys" since she's a big wuss

So something with few words, and fewer bad guys

>all these mariofags
Go play the Kirby Super Star with her in co-op, be player 2. Or Kirby Epic Yarn/Return to Dreamland if you haven't got a SNES. Both these games are piss easy in co-op, but still highly enjoyable

Make her play puzzle games.

>>343957160
Then Kirby Epic Yarn. You literally can't die in that game
>>
>>343957160
Like... what, no enemies or something? That really restricts things to puzzle games and SoL games right? Fine, what about a racing game? Mario Kart or something. Do Double Dash on the Gamecube and play with her.

>too many words in animal crossing
Tell that bitch to read.

Chibi Robo doesn't have enemies for a lot of the time.

Kirby epic yarn is the perfect game for this

Pokemon Channel for maximum comfy

It's pretty wierd, but my 5 y-o cousin completed AA on my Wii and fucking lived it. I thought he would play Mario Kart or something like that when he came over. Dunno if it's even appropriate for a kid to play a game focused on murders and crimes, but the fact that he was smart enough to not just spam objections at all statements legit impressed me
Later that year he played Mike Tysons Punch Out, beaten everyone exept Mike

I'm somehow kind of impressed.

My little sister of 6 likes Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Red Dead Redemption, GTAV and she enjoys watching me play 2D platformers like Donkey Kong Country Returns and the Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion remake.

Basically she likes playing anything with 3D analog controls. She is a bit of a graphicsfag though as she refuses to play anything pixelated and calls it "the blocky" games.

>>343959405
>GTA V and RDR
>6 years old
A kid shouldn't be playing games like that

Oh and she currently plays some Barbie third person game where you rescue and train puppies. I think it's called Puppy Rescue, it's on Steam for 14,99 (yeah, I bought it on my own account).

We also beat a PS2 game called Over the Hedge in co-op, was pretty good for a kids game desu.

>>343959620
She doesn't do much other than lasso animals and ride around jumping fences. It's probably more about the horses and stuff. I don't think she killed anyone in like 20+ hours she played the game, maybe a few chickens. Same goes for GTA. She actually refrains from shooting people because the cops start chasing you.

Why would you give a video game to a five year old kid?
>>
>>343960091
Yeah, actually it has to be the horses. She likes The Witcher 3 aswell, as long as she can ride Roach around. Always pauses the game and gives me the controller if there's any kind of monster though.

>>343960220
I started playing video games when I was 3. Admittedly, I had no fucking idea what I was doing. My first video game was Sonic 2 and I never made it past the chemical factory stage. Watching me play probably made you want to kill yourself since I was the worst fucking player ever.

Then again, I was fucking 3.

My older brother got Sapphire version as his first videogame, but he was only ever playing casually. Anyway I always grinded up new pokemon for him. It got me started on videogames. After he beat sapphire I went to games for less and played through every pokemon game including Green version.

OP here, just got back. Yeah, I think epic yarn or Superstar might be good, it's cute and Kirby is simple to play

And yeah, I know "no bad guys" limits things pretty significantly. It's even tougher finding a movie that she's not scared to watch

As for anons who care about the random image I pulled off my phone, I really don't care if leddit triggers you. It's a fucking image board

She's shown an interest, so I'll show her this hobby. It's something to bond over. Not like I'm forcing crap on her, and it's more engaging than plopping her in front of the tube
