Young Kids and Video Games

I was recently walking through Target with my three year old and 1 1/2 year old. I walked past the electronics and saw the Switch display sitting there. I looked at my three year old and thought it would be fun one day to play games with him. It got me thinking on what is an appropriate age to introduce video games to kids. The only video gaming my three year old is the occasional joystick-point-the-airplane-straight-into-the-ground thing while I'm playing Flight Sim. I do almost all of my gaming after they go to bed, so they don't really have any concept of video games.
So my question: What have y'all done at what age?

There are age-appropriate games for all ages.
It's all about limiting their screen time.

For what it’s worth, I tried to get my 6 year old cousin to play Ratchet and she immediately got frustrated since she had never played anything before and she couldn’t even walk or jump. They need something ridiculously simple starting out.

Find an NES and start them on Mario like the real OGs did.

I was 6 before I got my 1st nes. I wanted one at least 2 years before then..i think, years seemed longer back then. May have just been 1

I started my girls off with simple multiplayer side scrollers beat em ups like Ninja Turtles and Double Dragon and twin stick shooters like Smash TV and Geometry Wars. They were around 3-4 and got the hang of it pretty fast. Now they are 8 and 10 and mostly just play Mincraft, Roblox, and Fortnight b/c thats what their friends play.
