I can understand that. My gamecube doesn't get turned on till after 10 PM when everyone's asleep anyways.

For kid-friendly games, I've been playing Pikmin 2. LOVE IT, I finished Pikmin and got hooked. I bought Paper Mario ebay but it got stolen in transit. I also just picked Mario Kart and a broadband adapter to play w/ some folks on this website.
