      His Christmas present is going to be a custom-built arcade cabinet. The internals are simply a Nintendo Switch, an 8bitdo arcade controller, a computer monitor, and some speakers. Pretty simple stuff!

      He has next to zero experience playing video games and I haven't really exposed him to my games either (screen time and all). So, he's probably got about zero coordination when it comes to using controllers or playing platformers, etc. Also, he tends to get very frustrated with himself if he can't do something, causing him to want to give up.

      What are some recommendations for Nintendo Switch (1, not 2) games that will ease him into gaming?

      Thanks!

      Hello everyone,

      Gamers’ I need your advice. Due to a serious family illness, my nieces and nephews age 4 to 15 will be spending a lot of time at my home for the foreseeable future.

      I also have a college age kid, who is home occasionally and will play a few sports games and fighting games. He is head of the Fighting Game club at his universities club.

      I am looking to entertain the kids as we move towards winter and also keep my house in one piece.

      I purchased a NS2 w/ Mario Kart World, Minecraft, Shinobi, SFVI, NBA 2k26, Star Wars Outlaws and BoTW.

      I am going to purchase a few more Switch 2 titles and a few Switch 1 games. (Hopefully on a B2G1) sale. I do not need to purchase all at once. Likely, I’ll buy 1 or 2 a month. Or hope for a b2g1 sale.

      I am LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS from everyone.

      I already preordered Dragon Quest 1&2HD2D and Mario Galaxy 2.

      Games I am considering.

      Luigi mansion 3
      Sonic racing Cross World
      Persona 3 reload
      Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (you can play as Peach?)
      Mortal Kombat Collection
      Madden or EA FC
      Metroid Prime 4 ( I don’t know what to make of this game. Is it Metroid BoTW?)
      Bomberman R
      Paper Mario Thousand year door
      Links awakening or echoes of wisdom?

      I am looking to have some variety so there is something for everyone.

      These kids already have a Switch 1 w/ mario kart 8D, smash, Mario 3d World, Minecraft and a bunch of Kirby games.

      Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you in advance!

      Side note: My kids had a Wii U when they were young and i am somewhat familiar with those games.
