I am thinking of getting my 10yo son a nintendo 2ds. It seems quite innocent. Can anyone please advise me if there could be anything inappropriate that could come up or that he can access. I am totally ignorant. At the moment the only games he plays are the ones downloaded for him on my husbands cell phone.

My kids share a ds. It does not have internet. They have a few different Mario disks they play on it.

Not OP, but Internet concerns aside, I'm also worried about them spending too much time on it. I don't let the kids turn it on until they've done homework, eaten supper, and showered, but that still leaves a lot of free time that I don't want all being spent on video games.

For those that already have a DS or other game system, what usage limits - if any - do you impose on it?
