We currently have a no console rule at our house, because so have seen so many of my son's friends and cousins get consoles and become completely addicted to them. But I am seriously considering getting an old NES or SNES and some of my favorite games to play with with my son.
IMO, if you are going to prevent your kid from playing the games he wants to play, the same stuff everyone his age plays, that's one thing, but don't mock him with decades-old systems and games just because it was what you grew up with. The new shit is way way better, and you can still choose the games he plays, how long he plays, etc. You getting him an old nintendo is really just you getting you the nintendo you remember fondly.
