I started on Wii, and let me tell you. Playing LEGO Star Wars at 5-6 years old was a mind-blowing experience. I honestly think the LEGO Games (at least the older classic ones) are pretty much the perfect way to introduce gaming to young kids. Challenging but still fair puzzles, relatively easy controls, plenty of enemies, and even though you can die, you don’t have to return to a checkpoint when you do. You just lose a bit of money and respawn right where you just died. Add in the goofy sense of humor and fun, no-dialogue cutscenes, and you have a perfect “Baby’s First Videogame.”

OH MY GOD SHUT UP
that intro literally gave me goosebumps. Were going to miss you mat. You carried all our childhoods
@UTTPOfficerRonaldoCR7 Bro shut tf up no one cares but yeah we will all miss Mat, he’s doing what no one could ever do.
@@Justarandomidiot800 it’s a bot
your father doesnt love you@UTTPOfficerRonaldoCR7
@@Karsonthefoxx Fair point
@UTTPOfficerRonaldoCR7 who cares, you’re saying this because you have less maturity than the most immature 5 year old
Everyone remembers the game telling us to press R3, leaving us frantically searching the controller for a button you didn’t even know existed
Classic
honestly i’ve always hated clicking the sticks anyway 😭😭😭 something about it just feels so clunky, i’d much rather just have to do a button shortcut, and i’d imagine that would make it easier for new players too
That’s the unavoidable level ten wall
@UTTP_Destroy_All_Fandoms your parents didn’t love you
My content better + dont care smoking that MatPat pack 😂☠️🚬❗️❕️
He just taught us how to teach our kids how to play games. HE DID THIS BECAUSE WE ARE GROWING UP AND THE FANBASE THAT STARTED WITH HIM IN 2011 ARE ADULTS NOW. This is like really deep and some may not realize this and how important it is. Amazing that he did this as one of his final theories.
MY CONTENT BETTER 🔥☠️🚬
@AngryAsrielReuploadsI know it’s fake “AngryAsrielReuploads”
@@UltimateEnemies2385Its a bot, just report them
Guys ehh if you are dissapointed in these little kids don’t go look at their vids it gives them money
Uttp is just sad like bro just shut uppp 😭😭
I can’t believe so many of us figured this stuff out on our own when we first started gaming but never thought about how difficult these simple things were when we ourselves initially started. Really shows how much our focus was on the game itself, than the controls. I feel the game itself is the most important thing.

THE BOTS ARE BECOMING SENTIENT THEY’RE FIGHTING EACHOTHER. PULL THE PLUG. SHUT IT DOWN NOW
2:32 seeing the old intro after all these years & the logo finally having a color for each channel really hit us hard.
thank you Satania PFP for sharing my feelings for the updated throwback intro
I actually yelled out “YES” as soon as I heard Mat say 2012 XD
real!
It’s like the final outro to an anime basically copying the first intro of the anime but updated

A game I HIGHLY recommend introducing to a new gamer is Cat Quest 1 and 2! Its humour and story is very kid friendly, it’s 2D, and you can play as a simple hack and slash melee player or a mage casting spells – adding complexity and inputs. It’s the first game I introduced my girlfriend who’s never gamed before and at first she found it hard, but now she’s beaten Tears of the Kingdom by herself. The best part is Cat Quest 2 is co op too!
“All right son, we’re at step 9, I’m going to teach you wave dashing in melee”
Let’s go from 2 to 8 buttons, completely achieveable
Shine into uair into grab into upthrow into firefox into dair
“Ok, now step 10, let’s pass through Celeste’s final screen of chapter 9 using some extended reverse wavedashes.”
I just think there is one important aspect of this whole topic that it might be missed and it is that the game itself the topic, characters, story, artstyle etc it has to have that one thing that also draws this person into a game. If you dont get that interest it could be hard to just play a game for its teaching-mechanic capabilities.

I freaking started crying when that old intro came on!! It’s so moving to see it in a new video after so long. Thank you so much for having been such a huge part of me growing up all these years
Honestly, I always knew gaming was hard to get into, but after your video and how specific and step-by-step your instructions are, it sounds like teaching someone how to drive more than actually playing games. I guess I took that huge learning curve for granted.
Something to consider: When I was a kid, RC cars and helicopters were much more popular. Crashing wasnt humiliating, it was fun. I got to quickly take on multiple joysticks and immediately see its impact in the real world.
I never truly understood how complicated pressing two buttons at once could be until I was teaching a friend how to play a platformer and they were letting go of run before pressing jump
