How limiting is reading on Animal Crossing for your little one? Do you need to read the text or is it possible to play without reading?
Thanks for the great recommendations! Keep it up! š
I am planning to "buy my 5 yo son" switch.
So this is actually the video I’m looking for!!
I want to purchase first game that is easy and fun without making my son first game experience become frustrating. Nice job!
Thank you my brother! š
There are lots of games that SEEM good for young kids, but mine only just started school so they cant read yet. Most of these games would be lost on them unfortunately
Have any Questions about games that I didn’t cover? Have you found another game to work for your family?
Oh wow, I had no idea about the assisted mode in Mario Kart. Just got my Switch and the steering wheels, this is the final piece of the puzzle for my race lovin’ 3 year old daughter!
Thanks man, great video.
thanks this was helpful
Yes we just bought it for the ākidsā we got Mario party to start , now thinking of other games ! Do you have a video on parent controls tips and tricks .
I recommend some titles for Switch
– TINY LANDS
– Professor Layton
– Mario Party
Great video brother, appreciate all the time you put into it – thank you šš
Thank you brother. Haven’t been able to find any videos for young kids. Usually 10 and under
Only thing is I wish the games were explained whether or not you have to read or do the characters also speak out loud so you donāt have to read
Awesome I just pre-ordered the new MH rise switch and wanted to find out the best games to play with my daughter, shes keen to learn games and is fascinating when I’m playing on my PC loves to climb on my desk and press buttons hahaha she’s 3 so Mario Karts will be an excellent pick, keep up with the good content!
I have a nephew who’s almost seven. Do you think it’s right to make him wait to play E10+ games until he’s 10 or do you think playing a couple of years before is acceptable?
Thank you so much for this finally got āthe kidsā a switch been trying to figure out the best game for my 4 year old to try
Your commentary was amazing in this video Salty! And I might pick up Mario Odyssey thanks! š
Thank you, this helped me decide for Christmas shopping. We got our 6 year old a switch and since sheās not reading very well yet I wasnāt sure which games she would be able to enjoy solo. Definitely getting Mario cart for family fun. I was also looking at luigiās haunted mansion if anyone has any insight?
Good choice of games Iām thinking of getting PokĆ©mon Shield and Caption Toad Treasure Tracker for myself and my brother and my parents so we can all play the games tg and for my friends too so they donāt get bored at my house. like I also have PokĆ©mon Sword, Letās Go Eevee and Letās Go Pikachu, NES and SNES on my switch
Super Mario 3d world and Mario Kart! My niece and nephew (5 & 6) had never played any video games, and they instantly LOVED both of these games. They’re both games you can enjoy playing with them and help them along, and they both have features that will help younger kids who don’t know what they’re doing to not have to feel like they’re failing.
Really well put together video. My little nieces already got most of these. I kind of hate paying $60 for Odyssey for my 9yo and 3yo nieces, especially since they have American Girl dolls and each just got a Switch and new iPad from their other grandma when I felt lucky to get food when I was little. They already got Mario Kart and Animal Crossing.
I’m kind of thinking about a couple fun ones, maybe something cute for my little niece that’s more her spee, since she has her own Switch with all the accessories already. Maybe Overcooked 2? It’s $12.49 from Nintendo directly, right now. I’m just not into kid’s games.
Thank you so much I was looking for a good game lol now I know Iām picking letās go pikachu and eevee and now I know Iām totally getting the poke ball I canāt wait
Helloo
Have you tried any of the games targeted for younger kids like the paw patrol game? I just got a switch lite for my three year old daughter. She loves paw patrol but I know how bad tv show/movie based games can be.
Iāll try to help the algorithm!! christmas switch nintendo children games mario animal crossing(trying to use related words āŗļø)
My nephew commandeers my switch lite to play Mario Kart 8 all the time lol he’s 4
Hello, so your channel was the first recommended on the TV when i searched autism friendly games for the switch, so i had to log onto YouTube to say how amazing your suggestions are!! (The TV here doesn’t let you like or comment, just veiw the content) I am defo going to buy the mario cart and animal crossing for my youngest boy, they seem quite relaxed and not overly stimulating. Thank you so so much for this!!!
