Was thinking of gifting my niece with her first game handheld. What are the best GB/GBC/GBA games for a 6 year old?

I've got a 4yo daughter and this is how I'd do it. If she's got a taste for specifics that you know about you can pair down the libraries to be less daunting. Take 30 minutes and show her how to navigate the menus and whatnot...she'll pick up on it immediately.

I have let my younger relative play mine and they like games like shantae and sonic, a flash cart would be too complicated so see if you could get a simple multicart. They have a bit of difficulty moving and attacking at the same time but they have fun with trying.

Been a while, but this looks like a good video. It's super easy and low-risk; definitely the easiest jailbreak I've done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62nv6oq0MuQ
If you do, get everything configured before giving it away. Running retroarch isn't too hard, but setting it up is a bit much to ask of a 5-6 year old, though certainly not impossible.

You can't go wrong with any of the Mario platformers. IIRC the Super Mario Advance games are easier than their original counterparts, so they're a good choice for kids just getting into those kinds of games.

I was talking about infant vaccines, my friend. Why do you think that the younger generations are so much more likely to have ADD, aspergers, bipolar disorder, allergies etc.?

Regardless I've watched a few videos of manchildren giving their kids gameboys and the poor kids start tapping the screen expecting something to happen. Though as you said if the child hasn't been exposed to iPhones perhaps not.

Get an R4 card and a DSi. It's easier to add new ones.
