"Too easy!"
Nightshade's ears perked up, the ash-grey alicorn colt started wondering what his adoptive mother (Princess Luna) was talking about, he walked over to her room. Upon entering he saw Luna taking on... this:

and TURNING IT INTO MINCEMEAT WITHOUT USING A BOMB, LOOSING A LIFE, OR EVEN BREAKING A SWEAT!!! (with no cheats enabled mind you)
"Mom, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?" Nightshade shouted, he was completely STUMPED; he had seen a TV before, but not a video game.
"OH, CAN YOU NOT SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING DEAR CHILD?" Luna replied in the Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice (it was commonly used in a formal occasion when speaking from a distance (like for example, a balcony) but Luna used it when excited, happy, or VERY mad) "WE ARE DEFEATING THIS VILE FIEND!"
One introduction to video games later Nightshade was playing Star Fox Assault against Luna.
"Come on comeoncomeoncomeoncomeon!" He grumbled as he tried to shake Luna off his tail,
at that same moment Luna pressed the B button, firing a nova bomb, destroying Nightshade's arwing, and ending the match.
"OH COME ON!!!" Nightshade shouted, he had almost won, but despite lowering the health of his mother's arwing to an inch before destruction, Luna still managed to win by doing a loop to get behind Nightshade, locking on to his (already badly damaged) ship and pressing B.
"But how come you didn't get blown up as well? You were clearly in the blast radius." Asked Nightshade.
"Because, somehow, nova bombs don't hurt the one who fired them" Answered Luna.
"Well that was a very close game. I had almost won! blasted surprise loop..."
In walked Celestia "I overheard your multiplayer match and, I think it would be a good idea to invite the rest of the squad over for a gaming party." She said.
"Great idea 'Tia!" replied Luna, her pet tarantula Atticus squeaking his approval as well.

Ponyville, later that morning
Twilight Sparkle had finished eating breakfast with her family: Spike and Nyx, and was talking with them about what they would be doing that day, and then all of a sudden...
"GAG!, GAK!, HACK!, KOFF!, PLEAH!" Spike started gagging, hacking, choking, and finally coughed up a burst of emerald flame which materialized into a letter.
"Spike! are you alright?" Gasped Twilight.
"Have you ever seen a dragon gag on their own flame? Well you have now." Came Spike's reply.
"So what does it say?" Asked Nyx after Twilight confirmed that Spike wasn't hurt with a simple medical checkup spell.
"I don't know, lets read it!" answered Twilight.
Spike opened it up, looked at it and after glancing once went into the closet, and came out... with a megaphone.
"Spike, what are you doing!?" Shouted a surprised Twilight
"It's written in a text styled after the Traditional Royal Canterlot voice" replied Spike.
Upon hearing this the pets (Owlowicious and Peewee) went to the upstairs bedroom and closed the door,
"Okay, and you want to read it as it was written" said Twilight rolling her eyes
"As Big Mac would say, eeyup." Replied Spike jokingly, and began to read,
The majority of the letter was written in as, Spike said, a text styled after the Traditional Royal Canterlot voice,and, was unreadable because Spike had trouble with long words which there were a LOT of, but it was summed up at the end:
"P.S. Sorry about the Royal Canterlot voice, I was excited. If you don't understand anything else here's a rundown, I'm inviting everyone to a video game party, see you this evening."
And so it was arranged.
Later that evening as everyone arrived at the royal princesses living area (a part of Canterlot castle). Twilight knocked on the door.
"Get ready, they're here." Said someone.
"Okay okay." Said someone else.
"Squeak! hissss." Came a third voice.
Not that Twilight cared because she was a bit early. After all its not every day someone actually visits Celestia and Luna at there own living area.
"Come in" came Luna's voice.
And they did, but the moment they closed the door behind them, they found themselves greeted by a hail of Nerf darts! Nightshade and Atticus joined in as well, although Atticus could only use the smallest of nerf blasters. One barrage of darts later they heard Luna shout out:
"Ah ha! Thou has been smitten by our firearm of non-expanding recreational foam!"
"What?!" asked a confused Twilight and her friends.
"You just got turned into a dart pincushion" replied Nightshade.
"I believe I just said that." replied Luna.
"Yes, but in a dialect beyond their range of hearing!" said Nightshade jokingly.
A great Nerf war ensued, it started out fun, but then Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, who had snuck in took over a fortress that Luna made and started using BLOWGUNS with MARSHMALLOWS! (no not Rarity or Sweetie Belle...) and fired them on the flanks of anyone who was part of the Cutie Mark Crusaders or anyone they saw that was a pony and didn't have a cutie mark or got too close, including royalty. And boy did those marshmallows STING! Finally, 20 minutes later, Luna grabbed them and, on charges of war crime, threw them out of the castle into a mud puddle. About 5 minutes after that, there was a knock on the door, Derpy and Dinky went out and closed the door behind them, about 3 seconds after that there came another knock at the door. Luna opened it and Derpy walked in with a package, followed by Dinky
"Sorry, I forgot that I locked the door behind myself," she said. "But the new games you ordered from Earth have arrived".
"Thank you Derpy." Replied Luna. "And why don't you sit down and make yourself comfortable".
"Okay! So uh.. anypony have a muffin or two that they can spare?"
Everyone stared at Derpy for a moment, until Pinky Pie grabbed one from just out of sight and gave it to the grey pegasus.
Later, as Derpy started happily munching away, Luna begun checking out the new games. There're were plenty of them, but one in particular seemed to stand out: Iridion 3d
