BOTW just like you said. IMO it would be a perfect game for you. On one hand, it can allow you to 100% the game which can take 200 hrs. But at the same time whenever you feel like you wanna just beat the final boss and finish the game you always have that option after you are done with the short tutorial. It is literally playing at your own pace type of game.

Mario Odyssey. I consider this to be the most fun game on the Switch. Granted the game is on the easy side but I wouldn't consider it a burden. Plus the mechanics they added were super interesting. This and Celeste are probably the only platformers I would reccommend.

Bayo 2. Not sure if you played Bayo 1, but both Bayo games are obviously great. It is a hack & slash game, but it does it so well imo. Also, Bayo 3 is still in development.

Astral Chain. I'd consider it a mix of hack & slash and an action RPG. One of the more underrated games on the Switch.

Normally I don't like recommending games I haven't gotten to yet. But Hades is one to consider everyone on here has given super high praise to it. I definitely need to check it out for myself.

If you are interested in multiplayer games then both Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros are both great in a party.

Beyond that, you do have the list of JRPG's on the system. Which IMO is the selling point of the Switch. This is what makes recommending a Switch hard to recommend because if you are not looking for JRPG's then the catalog becomes a lot thinner. Still, all the games that I mentioned above are all amazing. Plus we do have games like Bayo 3, BOTW 2, Monster Hunter Rises, and Metroid Prime 4 all in development and the first 3 are likely to be released next year IMO.

It really comes down to whether those games are enough. You also have ports of older games, but that depends if you played them already.

But considering it is very likely by the end of 2022 we will be getting more power to the switch in some fashion. Therefore it wouldn't be illogical to be willing to wait.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah I think Zelda and Mario would definitely be in my lane just since that's what I was raised on. I'm definitely not as familiar with the other titles, but I'll check them out too since I've heard good things about them. And as long as Nintendo doesn't plan on dropping support for the Switch any time soon (which seems unlikely) it'll give me time to look into other games that are already out while waiting on some of the other ones you mentioned that may be releasing next year.

Also, we got Link's Awakening if you are itching for a Zelda game that is more traditional. Plus indie releases do really well on the Switch in general.

Thanks I’ll look into those too. I really enjoyed the NES and SNES Zelda games although I admittedly have never played any of the more recent (though they are old now) ones that have gotten lots of critical acclaim like OOT, Majora’s Mask, etc.

maybe. Sony is officially out here with the anime scene now. so there's really nothing anybody can do about it but to just accept it.

Brought my daughter a Switch for Xmas. She’s four and has been increasingly interested in video games. I don’t let her touch my PS4 or my Vita but I figured the Switch would be perfect for her to get into gaming.


I got Mario Cart Racing so that we could play together. Any other games that would be good for her. I was looking at Super Lucky Fox as well

Mario Kart, Yoshi Crafted World and Kirby Star Allies seem like the best imo. The last 2 are co-op so you can also play and help her if she is having trouble.

Cool. Man im SO excited to get her into gaming. I was only a year older than her when I received an NES for Xmas back in 1990 so I just want to give her that experience and play games with her like my dad played games with me. I have vivid memories of playing Robocop, Super Mario 3, and Ninja Gaiden with my pops

If you get switch online(20 bucks a year) you get access to a bunch of old nes/snes games for free too.

and since the online is limited to requiring friend codes and a smartphone app for voice chat(bad for adults that play together but great for child safety) u aint gotta worry about internet danger.

Copped myself and my girl a switch for Christmas. We both got Animal crossing, Zelda breath of the wild, Mario kart 8 and super smash. Y’all recommend anything else? How are those Pokémon games? I’m looking for multiplayer games.

I don't think I actually took this in at first but age of calamity has co op game play.

Good game suggestions for a 6 year old boy? I already got Fortnite, Mario racing, and hello neighbor.
