Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community? (gameranx.com)

Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she's unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it's not too violent, it should be fine

Ms. Pac-Man, but of course!

There's always Animal Crossing and its many sequels... you're not obligated to play as a female, but it's at least an option. Metroid has a female lead, but those games are probably a little beyond your daughter's grasp at the moment.

This is right. A five year old can't wipe their nose correctly. They want simple, cute things happening on screen or they're going to lose interest quick. AC is a great call. My daughter was motivated to learn to read better because she was having trouble understanding what was being said in AC.

Nintendo in general is the way to go here.
