Educational games for young children? Wii or Gamecube

[lattes]

First off, thanks for the help on my first post, the official thread has helped a lot too.

This one is a bit more specific so hopefully it doesn't get nixed.

I have two young boys, 3 1/2 and 2, I am not guessing the 2 year old is going to be playing much of anything, but I have done some digging and have come up with little to nothing in the way of educational games for young children other than a single dora title for gamecube. Any suggestions?

maybe, if your looking for educational videogames, the wii is not for you. now if you say your child is 3 and 1/2, get an educational videogame system like a v-smile or leapster. and as your child gets older, you can get a nintendo ds, cause there is brain age and stuff like that.
i hope i've helped.

Ya I figured the leapster was the way to go.

Thanks again.

v smile is the educational video game system for younger kids

any1 younger then 4 might not be able to play with the wii
that in mind there are a few educational games for the wii
cosmic family which is targeted to 4-8 age group is a educational game
big brain academy is a game targeted towards kids at least 8
there a few trivia games but those are the only education games for the wii
