Which Switch games do your 10 year olds play?

[ChristmasTidyings]

DD has asked for a Switch game for Christmas. Last year we gave her the Lego Harry Potter game which she still plays. She's not really into Pokemon any more else I'd have got the new one. I'd like something where she has to think - puzzles, logic etc rather than mindless bashing stuff {stares at Asterix}.
What do your 10-11 year olds play?

Luigi mansion 3 is my son’s favourite. Lots of puzzles to solve and non scary ghosts to fight (well hoover up)

10/yo DD loves animal crossing. Not sure if really fits the puzzle bill but definitely a nice game to play.

@ScratchyScratch does animal crossing encourage them to play every day? That's the impression I get from the blurb... DD is only allowed the switch at the weekends, so would this cause loads of arguments?

@KickboxingWanker is your DS also 10 -11?

It's a real time game so when it's night time in real life it's night in the game and time moves in the same way. You also have to wait a day for some things to happen (houses being built etc) so whilst playing a little each day is probably the optimal way to play, there's no reason why you couldn't play on weekends only. I suppose it will just take longer to progress. Perhaps not the best game for quick and easy pick up and play though.

Minecraft/Minecraft Dungeons
Pokemon
Zelda (an adventure type game with lots of puzzles to solve along the way. Sometimes needs help from DS1 or DH)
Mario Kart

@ScratchyScratch thanks, that's what I thought.

@ABlindAssassin she know BOTW inside out - is that the one you have? Do you have any of the other Zelda/link ones?

We also have Link's awakening, kart/Odyssey/tennis/golf and DS is getting Minecraft dungeons for his birthday

Yes he’s 10

Minecraft
Sonic
Pokemon

Mario Kart
Professor Layton is good for puzzles
Disney Dreamlight valley

splatoon is mad popular in this family

Splatoon - there is a newly released Splatoon 3 out now
Minecraft
Super Mario Odyssey
Mario Kart

Disney dreamlight valley is a massive hit with my 11yr old dd

@ChristmasTidyings we also have Skyward Sword (?) and DS1 is getting Warriers of Hyrule for Christmas. They both prefer BOTW to Skyward Sword I think. They are very excited for BOTW2 in 2023!

Does your DC have the amiibos for Zelda BOTW? They get used a lot here...

Mario deluxe
lugis Mansion 3
pikmin 3
mario party superstar

Human fall flat and Untitled goose game are both well-done, non-violent, puzzle-y games. Highly recommend!

I have a 10 and 11 year old. Lego Jurassic Park and Marvell are big hits here. We also have Mario Party but all 3 of us are competitive so causes numerous arguments but the mini games are really good. They've asked for Mario Karts and Splatoon 3. Although I'm liking the sound of Luigi Mansion!
