I’ve recently repaired my old Switch and given it to a friend. Since I suspect they’ll be playing with their 7yo kid, I just wanted to know if you have any recommendations?

The kid doesn’t speak/read English, so the game in question would need to not rely on understanding of the language.

Their native language is Swedish if that has any impact.

Thanks!

    Super Mario Maker and Mario Kart 8 are pretty kid-friendly and you don’t really need to understand the language after you find the play button.

    Lots of great suggestions, but I’d like to add Captain Toad Treasure Tracker to the list. The puzzles are fun and they encourage you to think outside the box. Not too difficult and you don’t really need to understand the language.

    What the Golf? worked well for the nephews cause the text doesn’t really matter, very simple controls and can play almost all of it on touchscreen (some holes use gyro aiming), a quick play/show to a friend mode and also a funny game. just a warning some holes get hard so they might get frustrated and need help.

    Edit forgot to add 2 player vs as well

      Yeah, all Mario games are great. Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, all are good suggestion for a kid (and grownups)

    Ultimate chicken horse is the go to game for my little ones! It’s simple and great fun for multiplayer, but not much single player content.
