Nintendo Switch Game recommendations

[AverageDuck]

Hi,

We have had a Nintendo Switch for a few years now and I try and buy a couple of games at Christmas as a 'family' gift however, I've not a clue this year as what to get.

We currently have;

Just Dance 2019
Just Dance 2021 - We used to pay for the unlimited but it's not played with as often anymore.
Lego Jurassic Park - Kids aren't keen
Lego Harry Potter - Again, kids aren't keen
Ring Fit Adventure
Need for Speed hot pursuit - Kids enjoy this one!
Super Mario Bros Deluxe
Super Mario 3d world + Bowsers Fury
Super Mario Kart deuce 8 - kids LOVE this
Super Mario party - kids LOVE this

In the past we have had Luigi's mansion which was the kids hated. I feel like we had another that I sold but I cannot remember what it was!

Does anyone have any recommendations? kids are 16 and 10 and not interested in comb at or shooting games.

Plants vs. Zombies?
Moving Out is fun
Unravel 2 is excellent but only 2 players
Rayman (I personally can't stand it but the kids love it)

Oh also the old Sega games are good and are mostly more than one player - Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic etc.

Animal crossing is popular but really depends on what everyone likes. My family love the untitled goose game too. But otherwise all the Mario's, Zelda etc

If they like Mario games there’s Super Mario Odyssey. It’s the best Mario game for the Switch.

Me and DD love animal crossing.
DH loves Zelda and Two point hospital .

I also love crash bandicoot.

They hated Luigi's Mansion?!? (it's my favourite game).

I don't like Lego Harry Potter either but I really enjoyed Lego City Undercover, the game play is completely different to the HP game and there are hours and hours of free play once the missions are done.

The Untitled Goose Game is excellent fun, and can be played two player.

My dd(14) and I love animal crossing.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Similar feel to mario cart and mario party that everyone plays against everyone else, it's played as much as the other two your kids love in our house.

Animal Crossing, Pokemon and Zelda. Only get these games if your dc have a Switch each.

Mario Odyssey is good but it's not really a good two player, as the player who is Cappy doesn't really get to do much.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is worth getting for the Super Mario Galaxy game, IMO the best Mario game. And I second Rayman Legends, one of my favourite games ever!

Zelda
Animal Crossing
Stardew Valley - might be download only
Pokemon - lots of games
Skyrim

Let’s go Pikachu 😀

I agree re Mario and Sonic at Olympic Games!

Fall guys is fun

Overcooked, great group game

Animal Crossing
Pokemon
Untitled goose game
Undertale

Zelda breath of the wild 100%

We have two copies between myself, DS and DH. But we've put hours and hours into it.

Hollow Knight is another gem. It does have fighting but the story is beautiful. My DS7 loves it.

Animal Crossing you can't go wrong. You can play together if you have another remote too.

Stardew Valley is a farming life simulator where you can raise crops and animals, get married etc.

Fall guys is free and we have hours of fun with it. Great party game.

Minecraft is an evergreen game. You don't have to fight, you can use it to build.

Spyro remastered trilogy.

Overcooked, Snipperclips and Death Squared are our favourites

they are all at least 2 player and are coop games ie you have to work together to win

Any Sonic game!

Mario vs Rabbids kingdom battle (start with the older one) a cool, turn taking tactics game which is really cool. Overcooked is amazing, if you want to bring out the shoutty side of people. It’s hilarious listening to me and DH play this although cannot play around kids, too sweary. 🤣
