Birthday actually, which is in June.  She wants to buy it herself so I recommended a 2DS.

I also recommended Pokemon X for a beginner game, since it's an RPG she doesn't have to worry about acting quickly it's tutorial heavy.   I am going to start making recommended team lists for her as well as some general tips the players guide probably won't have.  After that I think her second game should be Kirby Triple Deluxe again because it has tutorials.  If she can get the hang of those 2 I'll introduce her to Zelda and old school Mario games after that.

She wants to know what a well designed game is like since she has a desire to make a game herself.

Super Mario 3D Land would be another great start for her.

I'll do that when she gets the hang of platformers.

The game is really easy, though.

It's only difficult when you get to the special worlds, which don't become available until you beat the game.

I know, but I want to start with a side scrolling platformer first after she finishes Pokemon.  A 3D platformer might be too complicated for her until she gets more experience.  That's why I'm starting with Kirby.

I should look up the names of the other bones in my foot, so when I'm at my appointment tomorrow, I can drop anatomical terms like a boss.

"So, you see, in August I had suffered an impact injury to the dorsal portion of the forefoot, around the fourth and fifth phalanges.  I've since had pain in the fourth and fifth metatarsals, localized from the head of the fifth metatarsal to mid-shaft.  Occasionally, I develop pain in the area of the cuboid, but that could be the result of an avulsion injury to the fifth metatarsal styloid."

Introduce her to Rockman World 2. :P
Seriously the easiest Rockman game ever.

Still might be too hard for my niece and nephew.  They watched some Sonic 2 gameplay footage and thought it was THE HARDEST GAEM EVA.

Sonic 2.

The game Ringman and I routinely beat.

Uh.

No.

There's also the squeaky soundtrack to get used to...

We are part of a Rockman community! Sakura's mum HAS to at least play one Rockman game for SCIENCE!

They saw gameplay footage of Megaman 2 and said it looked hard.

Well, yes.  Yes it is.  It's Megaman.  Megaman doesn't go easy on wimpy-ass gamers.  It beats you into submission. 

However, their platforming experience is limited to Lep's World, which is an easy-as-[tornado fang] Mario clone.

That's Megaman II for the Gameboy right?

But yeah I'll introduce her to Megaman way later.

Yes, Rockman World 2 = Megaman II.
If we introduced Megaman 2... It might be way too much. XD

Just saiyan.

Oh, there's also the Easy Mode for ZX and ZX Advent.
Also for Megaman Zero Collection, which I think is worth a shot as well.

I also recommend beat-em-ups.  Streets of Rage 2, TMNT Arcade, Turtles in Time...  Classic arcade beat-em-ups.
