Get the Switch OLED. The Switch 2 offers nothing for your family. You think they are going to care that Breath of the Wild is “only” 1080p?

For the cost of the Switch 2, you can get the OLED plus a library of games. If you haven’t already seen the OLED screen in person, it will blow you away. It makes the S2 screen look like a $200 Walmart TV from 2008

CmdrShepard49,

I have the OLED and have been mulling over getting the Switch 2 since games, to my knowledge, don’t appear to be developed for the Switch 1 any longer even though they’d probably work fine. It’s also weak as hell and regularly crashes when I try to play Minecraft with my kid, but I haven’t really bothered to look too hard at how much more performance you get out of the S2.

They kinda murdered the game for me when they made it so easy to switch servers during play and avoid ever fighting anyone…

I do get that. I’m not big on the PvP personally, but it is part of the game so I’ll never shame anyone for liking it. Still, it sounds like there would be better ways to handle it then just switching servers

I love the idea of sleeping on a train but the one time I did it I got woken up regularly by all the stopping and starting each time we got to a station.

Perhaps Eco. It’s a bit like Minecraft but much more farming, if you choose the farming profession, and no combat whatsoever. Mainly a multiplayer game through public servers but it’s doable solo as well through settings.

So this is a very on-the-nose one but Farming Simulator 22 definitely fits your description. I’ve played it a lot despite being a city slick. It’s very calming in a way and satisfying once you have a decent production line going. I don’t love how much the story can get in the way with more whimsical farming sims so this (no story whatsoever) was a very welcome change. Oh and there’s a ton of high quality mods on Steam workshop.

FF16 is not an incredible game. But it sure is easy to button mash your way to a win, especially considering how good some of the trinkets are (acquired at start of the game). The music is solid, the writing is interesting enough, and the visuals are great, provided you can run it well.

gt5,

I did not like it at all. I thought the writing was bad, the cut scenes dragged on for way too long, and the characters and the world were uninteresting

  • Some Pokemon ROM hacks where the difficulty spikes were not too harsh

There are definitely some good pokemon fangames on PC that aren’t super difficult from what I remember.

  • Pokemon Hidden Place ( Spanish fan game with English translation IIRC )
  • Pokemon Bizarre ( another Spanish/maybe Portuguese ( I don’t fully remember ) one with English translation ). Has some memes here and there but it’s manageable.

Most other fan games I could think of are either too long, have a good amount of difficulty, or have some sort of QOL thing preventing me from recommending it.

Get the OG switch.

Currently the switch two has exactly one game out for it. Mario Kart World.

Whose big feature is a single player open world.

I loved that game so much. Haven’t had quite an experience like it since

Personally, I’m skipping the Switch 2 because I used my Switch 1 like four times since its launch.

The Switch 2 will likely have games similar to ones that came before it, so if you haven’t been tempted into trying those, you probably won’t be into the new ones.

Like, I’d want the Switch 2 for Mario Kart World but then realized that I played Kart 8 like twice. Online play didn’t scratch the itch, my wife sucked at it, and it was hard to get a group IRL together to play often.

Maybe try emulating some of the older versions of games you’re interested in. It’ll at least give you an idea of how much fun you’d have on the newer versions.

Also ask yourself if you’re a handheld gamer. I don’t think I am which is why I also don’t use my steam deck ever.

This is all subjective, but because of nintendo’s bs, switch 2 is their first console I have almost zero interest getting. If your kids specifically really want the switch, they’ll be disappointed by anything else, but if not, I recommend looking into steam deck or other linux handhelds. There are lots of good PC games that fit the bill. Because of indie devs, the selection is should be a lot larger even.
